In January 2007, Los Angeles-based Solar Integrated Technologies won a US$13 million contract to put solar panels on the roof of Tesco USA's new distribution centre in Riverside, California. The BIPV roofing system will provide a fifth of the depot's power supply, and save 1,200 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Tesco accounts for almost one pound in every three spent in British supermarkets.
Tesco has also pledged to spread an environmentally friendly message to its millions of customers and to set an example by spending over 500 million pounds (US$987 million), cutting prices on energy-efficient products and reducing pollution.
