      The world now has 6 kW more worth of rooftop solar. ARE Solar completed the installation of a 16-panel, 6 kW system on my Littleton, Colo. condo rooftop two days ago.

      After 18 months of HOA process work, I’m finally going solar in Littleton, Colo.

      After nearly 18 months of working to get approval from my two HOAs,  I am finally going solar here at Highline Crossing Cohousing in Littleton, Colo. ARE Solar began installing a 6 kW system on my condo roof yesterday. ARE Solar should be finished by Tuesday....

      The cohousing community that I live in -- Highline Crossing Cohousing -- here in Littleton, Colo. is FINALLY getting solar after a one-year wait for the installation and, prior to that, 18 months of me, and several other residents here in this community, working toward persuading our community to add a 20 kW solar system.
