The California Pubic Utilities Commission (CPUC) has issued requirements for a new energy program that aims to make the state one of the world's biggest producers of solar energy.
The CPUC issued a guide about the rules for installing and operating solar photovoltaic projects. California aims to install 1 million rooftop solar panels on homes, businesses, farms, schools and public buildings over the next 10 years to produce 3,000 megawatts, or the equivalent of six large power plants.
The program has a budget of US$2.2 billion that will pay incentives for solar projects beginning on Jan. 1, 2007.
