California covers itself in solar panels
26/08/2008

Since January 1 2007, a bill signed into law by Mr. Schwarzenegger requires that a million solar panels be installed in ten years (100 000 a year), as part of the climate change initiative undertaken by the State of California. In accordance with this law, solar roofs are now standard for all new buildings. Moreover, individuals whose energy system produces more energy than they use for their domestic consumption are entitled to a rebate.
