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 nearly 18 months of working to get approval from my two HOAs, I am finally going solar here at Highline...
It is still much too difficult to go solar for millions of Americans, in particular those who live in condos -- me included, although I have swum against the tide and have persevered anyway, I hope 🤞.
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.
As you may have heard, starting in 2020, California will require that all new single-family homes include a solar power system. (At present, about one in five new homes has solar added when built.) This will help California meet its ambitious goals regarding greenhouse gas emissions, and will continue California's leadership in home energy efficiency.
Yes, solar is really taking off around the world!...
