California Surpasses 1 Gigawatt of Solar Energy Generation

California Surpasses 1 Gigawatt of Solar Energy Generation

The California Solar Initiative (CSI) announced at the end of last week the State of California has officially surpassed one gigawatt, (GW) or 1,000 megawatts (MW) of energy generation during the month of December. In all, they were able to install 1,066 MW by the end of 2012. Even though the panels don’t produce as much energy when the sun isn’t out, approximately one gigawatt of solar electricity can power over 200,000 households.http://theenergycollective.com/ecskris/171676/california-solar-energy-surpasses-gigawatt-energy-generation?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=The+Energy+Collective+%28all+posts%29
