German discount supermarket chain Aldi has announced it will install 96,000 solar panels across more than 50 UK stores by the end of 2017. The panels will be added to the 85,000 units already installed across 275 stores and all nine of Aldi’s regional distribution centres, which generate more than 17,500MWh of electricity a year. The installations will take Aldi’s total store investment in solar to almost £17m, and will enable the retail giant to produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 6,200 households.
