The Real Goods Solar Living Center in Hopland, California will host the 132 kW solar plant. This 12-acre demonstration site, one of northern California's premier attractions, hosts over 150,000 annual visitors.
Customers can now choose the kind of power they want to support.
New sources of renewable power, such as this solar facility, are part of the solution to air pollution that results from electricity made from fossil fuels. Constructed with solar panels from AstroPower, Inc., the plant will take only one month to build. We are looking for other opportunities to work with AstroPower to finance and build independent solar power across the country as more states deregulate and offer customer choice. This plant solidifies the community of Hopland's position of having the most photovoltaic power per capita in the world and will further our educational efforts to our over 150,000 visitors per year. A dedication of this new solar plant is expected in October 1999 at the Real Goods Solar Living Center in Hopland, California.
