We are working with the Florida Solar Energy Center and several companies proficient in solar integration to conduct Photovoltaic* Feasibility System Pilots to determine how best to integrate photovoltaic systems into our retail operations.

We have been researching photovoltaics for some time and are hopeful that we will be able to incorporate solar energy into our overall energy management strategy. Currently we have four operating photovoltaic systems—one on each of these locations: GreenWise Market Palm Beach Gardens; GreenWise Market Boca Raton; Publix at Miami Lakes; and our corporate office in Lakeland, Fla. (picture 1). You can view real time system production by clicking on any location above.

*"Photovoltaic" means voltage produced when exposed to radiant energy, especially light.
