Game Changer in Solar Energy: PG&E Inks Deal

note, just the other day, DUK announced a pilot program whereby it will own all the solar panels that are installed on residential buildings, take all the power generated, and pay $50 a year in rent to the owner of building. The idea is that DUK will then gain the experience with running its transmission system with lot of distributed intermittent solar generation. Let's face it, the utilities are serious players, and conservative ones at that, who have to meet their RPS requirements by least cost or get dinged by their public service commissions.
