Investment in Solar Power Adds Thousands of Contract Construction Jobs

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – July 30, 2012 - Walmart’s College Avenue store in San Diego was today unveiled as the 100th California Walmart store now using rooftop solar panels to generate power, contributing to the company’s broader goal of being supplied 100 percent by renewable energy. Walmart’s investment in solar power typically generates an average of 48 contract positions per site. By working with California-based SolarCity, the company’s focus on solar power has generated more than 3,000 contract construction jobs in California. In turn, SolarCity has hired 1,213 employees since announcing its first Walmart projects in September 2010. The San Mateo, Calif.-based company will install, manage, and maintain 70 of the 100 new solar power systems.
