Southern California Edison achieves its first commercial rooftop solar photovoltaic installation in Southern California. The total planned rooftop generating capacity would offset the construction of a number of utility-scale solar power plants. ...
... "During recent months, the 600,000-square-foot Fontana, Calif., distribution warehouse roof selected as the first installation site has been fitted with 33,700 advanced thin-film solar panels making it the largest single rooftop solar photovoltaic array in California. The facility now generates enough power during peak output conditions to meet the needs of approximately 1,300 Inland Empire homes.

Gov. Schwarzenegger Applauds Completion of Commercial Rooftop Solar Installation Project: "As part of the state's efforts to increase renewable energy, the Governor's Million Solar Roofs Plan, signed into law in 2006, will provide 3,000 megawatts of additional clean energy and reduce the output of greenhouse gases by three million tons, equivalent to taking one million cars off the road. Now known as the California Solar Initiative, the $3.3 billion incentive plan for homeowners and building owners who install solar electric systems will lead to one million solar roofs in California by 2017.
