Walmart is flipping the switch today on what the company says will be its largest solar power system.

The system, covering about 1 million square feet, is on a warehouse at the company’s distribution center in Buckeye.

The move is part of Walmart’s effort to be more sustainable. The company was named as the top corporate user of solar on the commercial level by the Solar Energy Industries Association and Vote Solar earlier this week.
