Million Solar Roofs Bill Heads to the Governor's Desk

http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/home

Sacramento, California Many solar advocates thought this would never occur. After two long years, the Million Solar Roofs bill, SB 1 (Murray), passed the Senate Floor on Tuesday by a vote of 36 to 4, clearing the state legislature and heading to the governor's desk for his up or down approval.

SB 1 received overwhelming support on the Senate Floor from both sides of the aisle with all twenty-five Democratic Senators voting in favor of the bill and eleven of the fifteen Republican Senators voting for the bill.

Should SB 1 become law, it, combined with the Public Utilities Commission's (PUC) California Solar Initiative, California will have created the largest solar program in the country aiming to build 3,000 MW of solar power -- the equivalent of 6 large power plants -- on homes, businesses, farms, and schools throughout the state.
