Costco ticked another box in its quest for energy independence this week with the announcement that two of its California distribution centers successfully completed fully integrated off-grid solar and battery systems.
Snohomish, Washington-based Trinity Energy installed rooftop solar, battery storage and electric vehicle charging solutions at the retailer’s Mira Loma and Ontario, California facilities.
Costco is a multi-billion dollar membership warehouse club with more than 800 stores worldwide.
