That's right, they prefer to be called Pre-vects!

Submission + - Walmart picks CA and HI for Solar
mdsolar writes: "Walmart has picked three companies: BP Solar, SunEdison, and PowerLight from its RFP to install solar power on some of its stores. In this pilot project, 22 store roofs will produce
20 GWH per year (2.3 MW) in California and Hawaii. According to BP Solar, Walmart will save on electricity costs with installations that can cover up to 30% of a store's power use. This news comes at a time when
a new concentrator design for roof top solar is being touted as costing half as much (88% less silicon) as the panels used by these three companies in the MIT Technology Review, with deliveries for this kind of application expected this year. Is is coincidence, or does Walmart always fire the starting gun for a race to the bottom on price?"
