California Solar Power Resource

Considered one of the sunnier states, California is definitely a good source for solar power, especially with energy problems that have occurred within the state. As seen in the NREL map, California is great for flat-plate solar collectors. The whole state can effectively use this collection method with about three fourths of the state being very good for flat-plate solar collectors. For concentrating solar collectors, California is a great resource for more than half the state with the most effective region being the southeast, especially the Death Valley and Mojave Desert areas. This part of the state is especially great for big solar collection projects. California is great for solar power and with the high cost of energy and the increased demand in the state, considering solar power could save many Californians a lot of money and help lower the state's energy problems.
