Back in July, Cal-ISO (a grid operator in California) announced that the state registered 2,071 megawatts of solar electricity. This was enough to meet the electricity needs of almost 1.5 million households across the state, creating a new record in American solar power generation. But this hardly comes as a surprise considering how successful green energy has been in California. Last year, California ranked 1st for solar energy in the Solar Energy Industries Association’'s 2012 US Solar Market Insight Report with 1,032 MW installed in 2012 alone. This was enough to power more than 620,000 homes. Had California been a country, it would have ranked 7th in installed global photovoltaic capacity. Pasadena is one of the sunniest cities in the state, which is why
solar Pasadena is also developing rapidly by the day. The good solar panel array in the city can produce up to 4,000 watts of solar power or 17,000 watt hours of consumable electricity per day. This simply means that if you are a 3-5 member family in Pasadena, switching to solar energy can help you save almost $1000 each year!
