I got an email today from John Reed which contains some very nice information about solar installations in Northern California produced by NorCal Solar Energy Association. This association, is a non-profit, solar education group in Northern California. They just released some new findings on the growth of solar energy installations for 165 cities in the 10, Bay Area Counties for the year 2007.

Check out these interesting facts

From 1998-2007, Californians have purchased more than $2.1 billion in solar electric technology (PV).

In the Bay Area, there are 11,563 solar projects - built at a cost of $746 million - producing more than 84 megawatts of electricity according to the new report that includes all installations as of December, 31, 2007.

Statewide, for 2007, there were 30,466 PV installations in California yielding 244 MW of electricity from PV solar power.

The report even has a list of the top counties according to the total watts of the solar installation systems.
