According to recent research by Sunrun and PV Solar Report, the California home solar market has grown by 80 percent this year. The report identifies increased solar adoption in more cities as one of the major reasons for the spike in statewide solar projects.

The report also ranks several cities according to solar adoption rate. The top five cities are:

1. Santa Clarita
2. Castaic
3. Palmdale
4. Clovis
5. Pleasanton

The median household income of $57,000 for the top cities dispels the idea that rooftop solar installations are only for the wealthy.
