Rooftop Solar | Regulatory Policy

A recent NREL report finds that in 2011, 17% of U.S supermarkets were in utility territories where PV could be installed at or below the cost of traditional generation.  In 2012, they estimate that this percentage increased to 40%.  The report is NREL’s first step in examining PV grid-parity at all big-box retailers.

As of early 2013, there are more than 130 megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems powering Navy, Army and Air Force bases in at least 31 states and the District of Columbia. See what states have the most solar installed on our interactive map.
