You are quite right.

It was because of your comment back then that I started following SCE’s movement into solar on roofs and found this great news. I had assumed that their little 1 MW and 2 MW systems were just a greenwash program to pacify us

So thanks. (Still; 5 MW out of the total 350 (?) MW of commercial roof solar does not mean that they tipped the scales. Most of that was real commercial (non utility) businesses putting solar on their roofs)

Finally, some news about people making the right decision. I just get sick every time somebody acts like doing solar has to mean messing over sensitive habitat. Roofs are the way to go! And parking lots. With the added benefit that cars wouldn’t be oven-hot for the commute home. I’m really delighted to hear this news.
