Currently, more than 30 stores nationwide are using solar panels. Wilcon Depot Libis, Balintawak, Sucat, Valenzuela, Quirino, Commonwealth, Quezon Ave., Antipolo, Baliuag, Cabanatuan, Villasis, Mexico, Tarlac, Laoag, Kawit, Silang, Bacoor, Dasmariñas, Sta. Rosa, San Pablo, Calamba, Batangas City, Bacolod, Mandaue, Talisay, Jaro, Panacan, Cagayan De Oro, and Zamboanga are all powered by solar energy.
