GM News VIDEO from Medialink and General Motors: Solar Power Makes a Comeback
--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solar energy is abundant and infinitely renewable. Now, major
corporations are doing their part to help the environment by putting
their unused rooftop space to good use.
Corporations like Google, Staples, and General Motors are rolling out
the latest solar technology. In fact, the General Motors California
facility has the largest corporate design solar energy system in
operation. Their current installation generates only one megawatt.
While solar energy costs have dropped over 50 percent over the last 30
years, prices still remain high for the average consumer. Yet, if you
have the biggest companies in the world putting solar technology on
their rooftops, that will drive up supply and demand of the systems. In
turn, this will bring down the costs - making it affordable for even the
smallest of homeowners.
