Solar Schools California

When I was back home over break I noticed the student parking lots at the local high schools all had covered parking. At first I was a bit upset that the schools wasted money giving students covered parking. I would later find out that there has been an initiave to build solar arrays all across the city.

Article about the school down the street from my childhood home joining the solar revolution:

I saw this on the front page of the paper the other day. Then the company involved drove by me and hour later on Hwy 82, felt like it was hard to ignore.

Sun warms this home like no other place I've ever lived in, I barely have to burn wood in the day times this winter.

These are Co-generation machines, combined heat and power systems. They create power, supply hot water, A/C, Diesel Engines with natural gas and inductive generators while using waste recovery processes. Very efficient but high maintenance and costly up front costs.

I watched this documentary a few years ago and found it very interesting, although is not about solar PV, I think it somehow relates to it and alternative energy in general. You can watch the whole documentary online or find it at your local library. Here's a link to the trailer:
