Solar power in California

OverviewHistoryPhotovoltaicsSolar thermal powerGenerationGovernment supportState challenges with solar powerPublic opinion

Solar power has been growing rapidly in the U.S. state of California because of high insolation, community support, declining solar costs, and a renewable portfolio standard which requires that 60% of California''s electricity come from renewable resources by 2030, with 100% by 2045. Much of this is expected to come from solar power via photovoltaic facilities or concentrated solar power fac
