San Diego solar boom


Solar energy is soaring in Southern California -- surging past wind and hydro as the Golden State's top renewable energy source. On a recent visit to San Diego I was amazed at all the new rooftop solar. It seemed like every other home had solar panels on the roof, a noticeable difference from the last time I went out West a few years ago. It makes sense that San Diego would be the epicenter of America's solar boom given how much sunshine the region is blessed with all year round.

I did some research and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the city of San Diego recently passed the most ambitious climate action plan in the country. The goal of 100% clean energy by 2035 would make San Diego the largest city fully powered by renewable energy.

Here are more pictures of the rooftop solar revolution in San Diego:
