Middletown solar installer Greenskies Renewable Energy signed an agreement with Target Corp. to put solar arrays on 180 Targets from Augusta, Maine to San Diego, Calif.
When completed, the installations will produce a total of 100 megawatts of energy. The average system will have 1,700 solar panels.
Financial terms were not disclosed. The stores will be in 12 states: Arizona, California, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Greenskies already has installed solar arrays on 58 Target stores and distribution centers. The average array produces enough electricity to provide 20-30 percent of a store’s needs.
