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.
