Summary: This article is about a project in which a company will install solar panels on 425 homes in a $50 million project. "The company will generate enough energy to power 1,300 houses." It will provide a good idea for what to expect in the future for solar power and its positive and negative attributes.

This article provides information on projects that are currently underway involving solar energy pannels on homes. Edison has planned to be the United States largerts soloar provider. They currently rent "607,000 square feet of ProLogis’ roof space in the Californian town of Fontana. Output will be produce 2.2 megawatts, enough for up to 1,426 households. Edison has plans to generate 250 MW of solar energy in around five years’ time." This is exciting news! I feel that my family along with many families will benifit from the trial. It will allow scientists and technitions to fix the tweaks of the system. Hopefully the solar power will become a main source of energy, reducing the amount of natural recourses that we are over using. With companies working at such rapid paces, the system might be effective very soon. "The main selling point of the panels is that they’re going to be professionally managed. That’s a great way of reducing your carbon footprint." I think this article is very practical and reliable because their are many examples of projects and solid statistics.
