Rants and Rays - All I See Is Opportunity

I found that once I went solar, I was quick to notice other solar installations and places that would be ideal for solar.

I take the kids for bike rides on the Caltech campus, which is a few blocks from our house. I took this picture of one of Caltech's parking structures where they installed solar PV to generate electricity and provide shading for cars.

A few weeks ago we went on the Disney Cruise out of the Port of Los Angeles. As we were waiting to set sail, I snapped this photo of the solar PV installation on the rooftops of the World Cruise Center. This is part of the 10 MW of solar the Port of Los Angeles planned to install.

I work at Warner Bros. and the studio is on the leading edge of environmental and sustainability practices in the entertainment industry. In fact, WB's 600KW of solar PV was the first large scale solar installation in entertainment industry.

These are great starts to going solar. But if you really look closely, these solar initiatives have only just begun to crack the surface. Here is a map of the Caltech campus and a picture I snapped of the WB studio lot in Burbank. Looking at these, you will notice some solar, but what is more apparent is the vast majority of empty rooftops.

All I see is opportunity.
