California Powers 6 Million Homes With Solar Energy, Slays Record Thanks to a heat wave, California was able to shatter a state solar record. On July 12 at 1:06 p.m., several large solar plants dotted throughout the state produced 8,030 megawatts of electricity, according to the California Independent System Operator — and it would know, the organization runs most of the state’s power grid. According to San Francisco Gate, that’s enough energy to power more than 6 million households. Not to mention that this new record was set solely by large solar plants. It doesn’t even take into consideration the 537,637 smaller solar panel arrays installed on private homes and business’ rooftops. See http://ift.tt/2a0qudL
