Solar Power
Solar Power
California, a leading U.S. state in solar power, has found many ways to harness the Sun, the most powerful source of energy on the planet. Cities, such as Sacramento, are working to make solar power competitively priced and reliable with bulk use of solar cells and solar panels. California offers its citizens net metering, the option to sell solar power back to utilities and to earn money. In the Mojave Desert, Kramer Junction, a solar power facility, also creates an impressive amount of power.
