Penske Truck Leasing has installed and activated its first rooftop solar-powered systems, at the company’s new facility in Channahon, Ill.
The PV system, at 200 kW, is expected to generate 80% of the building’s energy needs. Any remaining required energy will be supplied by the local utility provider.
Another PV system, at the company’s Grand Rapids, Mich. location, is set to be active in the coming months. Penske’s Linden, N.J. location is expected to go online next year.
The facilities incorporating solar systems are part of the company’s LEED building program.
Under a PPA with Sunrock Distributed Generation, seven additional Penske facilities in California are expected to be retrofitted with new PV solar systems in the next year, in Fresno, Hayward, La Mirada, National City, Riverside, San Diego and San Leandro.
Penske is collaborating with San Francisco-based ForeFront Power as its lead project consultant on this solar initiative.
“Our solar program is an important piece of our renewable energy strategy and ForeFront Power continues to be an outstanding partner in helping us bring these projects to fruition,” says Drew Cullen, senior vice president of fuels and facility services at Penske.
“These investments will allow us to directly generate our own renewable energy to power our locations and continue to support our customers with sustainable solutions.”
Penske Truck Leasing is a Penske Transportation Solutions company.

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:
Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?
As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”
Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.
I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
