Million Solar Roofs Initiative for California

California Solar Initiative Update: SB 1 Passes California Assembly With Strong Support

Last week, California took one step closer to locking in the California Solar Initiative (aka the 'Million Solar Roofs Initiative'), the nation's largest, comprehensive and long-term solar program when the California Assembly passed SB 1 late last Friday.

SB 1 provides a long-term commitment and over $3.35 billion in funding to leverage private investment to deploy 3,000 megawatts (MW) of solar power systems on residential, commercial and government buildings throughout the state.SB 1 will now return to the Senate Energy Committee for concurrence of the Assembly amendments when the legislature returns from recess.
