Solar panels atop ProLogis’ warehouse in Fontana can power about 1,300 homes. The building is the first of 150 that Edison hopes to outfit with panels.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was on hand to flip a mock switch on the 2-megawatt Fontana system, which cost $10 million and can light about 1,300 homes.

$10,000,000 ÷ 1,300 = $7,692.31 per household. What a bargain! /s

All funded by rate increases (to the tune of a whopping $3 billion dollars!)

very crued way to do the system-and it’s not building integrated pv (bipv). I guess since it’s not their money it’s not that important.

I wonder how long it will be before environmentalists start complaining about millions of these panels being discarded in landfills and them leaching pollutants into the surrounding groundwater.

I’m happy for this one...because it might make Huga Chavez sad.
