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.

Here’s Lucy Biggers, social media powerhouse, explaining how solar and wind energy actually aren’t free, because they require materials that need to be mined from the Earth.
Yes, Lucy. I think most of us already knew that.
It’s hard for me to understand how a person with zero training in science has any relevance to what climate scientists are telling us. If I want a good recipe for carrot soup, I don’t ask a baseball coach or an auto mechanic.
They call this woman an “influencer.” What type of idiot does she influence?
Yes, part of this is stupidity. But a larger part is that people who still support Trump at this point are desperate to believe whatever comes out of his mouth, regardless of how nonsensical it may be.
I wish my mother were still here so I could see where she would stand. She was extremely well-educated, and a voracious reader, but somehow remained a Fox News viewer until the end. I just wonder if the last 15 months may have turned her around.
Those who stand in opposition to the president have dozens of different reasons for their feelings. One, as is on display here, is that he’s an ignoramus.
