DC expanded residents' ability to participate in solar power.

The Washington D.C. council voted unanimously on Tuesday to bring virtual net-metering to the city. The Community Renewables Energy Act is part of a growing wave of community solar legislation in multiple states, which seeks to allow people who might not be able to benefit from solar individually to do so on a community basis.

There's solar PV and solar water heating for the White House, though they could use more.

And, there's solar PV on the roof of the Department of Energy, yay!

And now businesses and homeowners can opt for grid-tied systems that can help them save money AND reduce their carbon footie prints!
