CPS Energy is unique in that it is the largest municipally owned energy company in USA, but it's still banally structured as a centralized energy supplier.

That needs to change, especially in the year-round, sun-drenched CPS Energy coverage area.

There's abundant experience in rooftop solar, rates, equipment, incentives, etc in California, other US states, Germany, etc which would guide CPS in avoiding the mistakes of the pioneers.


Backgrounders on distributed vs centralized energy:

There's an association of solar installers who I'm sure will support the campaign:

I'm working with Michael Higgins of http://www.greenstarsolutions.net/index.php for my own rooftop or ground mount solar.

solar radiation is MUCH stronger nowadays than it's ever been in the past several centuries due to air pollution and the ozone layer being damaged. in the 80s or 90s you could stand right in the sunshine at noon and you never felt being burnt, but today you can even make an omelette on your car in the summer like rommel's troops did in north africa in the 1940s
