In California, at the houses of the poor free of charge set of solar panels

В Калифорнии на дома бедных бесплатно устанавливают солнечные панели

By the end of this year in California is scheduled for free to install solar panels at 1600 houses, and is not a charity, and the official initiative of the state.

California is the most favorable state in the US to collect solar energy, however, it is very widely used fossil fuel, polluting the atmosphere with CO2 emissions.

According to the laws of the state of businesses have a limit on the emissions of such waste into the atmosphere, and they are forced to pay for exceeding quotas.

A non-profit organization Grid Alternatives has received $14.7 million from this program and will use them to install solar panels on the roof of poor people. This will not only save them in the short term ($400 — $1000 per year on electricity), but also create a positive background for the reduction of CO2 emissions in the longer term.
