Edible Solar Chips

SunChips have gone solar. Their plant in Modesto is using solar energy to make their tasty snacks. Modesto is only one out of the eight plants, but it is still a step in the right direction. SunChips comes in four different flavors and they are a healthy snack alternative.

How do they do it? Well, they transfer energy from the solar collectors that are gathering all the energy they can into heat. This produces 145,000 bags of SunChips® snacks every day. You get a snack that's not only better for you, but better for the planet as well.

"SunChips snacks may look golden, but they're actually kinda green." SunChips snacks are buying green energy credits to match 100% of the electricity required to make each and every bag of SunChips® snacks. What's a green energy credit? It's a Renewable Energy Credit (REC) that you buy to promote renewable electricity creation.
