American Chevrolet and Al Serra Auto Plaza in Grand Blanc are the first U.S. dealerships to launch their solar charging capability by installing Green Zones on their property.
Each "solar canopy" generates enough electricity for up to 4,500 charges per vehicle annually.
Sunlogics, is a solar-panel manufacturing and development company that will supply the panels and install the dealer charging stations.
Both American Chevrolet and Al Serra Chevrolet partnered with Sunlogics for installation of their Green Zones.
As part of the GM Ventures investment announcement in Sunlogics, General Motors committed to double its solar output globally – from 30 megawatts to 60 megawatts by 2015.
The company derives 1.4% of its U.S. energy consumption from renewable resources.
