On some level, it\u2019s not surprising that Wal-Mart would go solar, since the company\u2019s mission is to offer the lowest possible prices for consumers. In 2005, the Bentonville, Arkansas retailer set a goal of becoming 100% reliant on solar energy. Today, there are over 8,000 Wal-Marts on Earth. So it may take some time for that goal to come to fruition. However, the solar revolution has already helped Wal-Mart save more than a million dollars since 2008. You can bet that the market is noticing. And you can be sure the company will soon scale up their solar efforts to gain more of a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\">Finding a Bay Area Solar Company<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a homeowner who&#8217;s frustrated with soaring energy prices or a retailer who wants to add equity to your property, talk to the experienced team at Century Roof and Solar.
