12 August 2008 No Comment

Advantage BMW of Houston goes solar.

Congratulations to Advantage BMW of Houston who will on Tuesday unveil a shiny new solar panel-covered roof which it says will make it Houston’s first solar-powered car dealership.

Installed by Houston-based Standard Renewable Energy LLC, the photovoltaic solar electric power system is expected to produce 18% of the electricity required to run Advantage BMW’s Midtown location. It is expected that the 30.75 kilowatt system will reduce the dealership’s carbon footprint by more than 2 million pounds of CO2.

James Rodriguez, Houston city councilman, will join officials of Advantage BMW and Standard Renewable Energy for the unveliing ceremony.
