  • Where are the solar roofs?

    I read this article hoping to find something about the solar roofs initiative in California.  

    I guess I saw something about that on Treehugger or somewhere.  Big organizations with big buildings were supplying their own power and selling some back to the grid from rooftop collectors.  

    It depended on tax incentives to get done, but the last I saw about it, it was just sort of beginning.  

    If solar can get to 40% efficiency, with arrays that can go to scale, China and India will come on board maybe faster than most U.S. states.  

    It'll happen first with big organizations, but that has the possibility of bringing the price low enough for real people.  

    I, for one, would like a future with quiet, no-emission, local production of power.  On An interview with California environmental adviser Terry Tamminen posted 2 years ago 8 Responses
