It was only about a year and a half ago when SB 1 went into effect, as part Governor Schwarzenegger’s “Million Solar Roofs Plan.” The plan will provide 3,000 megawatts of additional clean energy and reduce the output of greenhouse gases by 3 million tons, which is like taking 1 million cars off of the roads.

SB1 expanded the plan’s incentive program to customers of municipal-owned utilities, such as the LADWP. It also provided that consumers may sell their excess solar power back to the grid, and requires large housing developments to offer solar power options to home buyers.

The plan is gaining momentum. The installation of solar photovoltaic panels is happening all across California, and in some instances, in huge construction projects, such as the new DMV building in San Diego County and the large Southern California Edison roof-top project in Fontana, California.
