The U.S. Department of Energy said on Wednesday it’s offering a partial guarantee for a $1.4 billion loan that will fund Project Amp, which will erect solar panels on hundreds of rooftops around the country. The project is the largest rooftop solar plan in the country.
The financial aid is the first DOE loan guarantee that isn’t going to a large, centralized solar power plant. Amp Project will install 733 MW of solar on about 750 rooftops run by Prologis, which owns and manages distribution warehouses in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Electricity from the project will be sold to utilities. Prologis and NRG Solar will co-own the project, said NRG spokeswoman Lori Neuman.

Every journey begins with one step, even if it is a baby step.

DOE must consider a similar deal for residential areas; especially those in the Sun Belt like Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, and California...not Texas they don't want to be part of the US anymore.
