The roof of a distribution center in Fontana, Calif., now holds 600,000 square feet of shiny black silicon panels that will produce enough electricity to power 1,300 homes with solar generated electricity. There are nearly 150 projects in the final plan to place these silent generators on building roofs in the area. The final design should yield 250 million watts of generating capacity. That would be sufficient to power 162,000 homes. “Projects like this one show the world you Southern California Edison installed thin film solar photovoltaic panels can protect the environment and pump up on a 600,000-sq.-foot rooftop of a the economy, and I am proud to say it is hapFontana warehouse. The panels will pening right here in California,” said Gov. feed electricity back into the grid. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
