With the help of $1.8 million in rebates from Pacific Gas & Electric, Far West Rice in California has installed a multi-million dollar 1MW solar project containing more than 5,500 photovoltaic modules from Mitsubishi Electric.
The system is expected to deliver 1,440,000 kwh a year and provide approximately 75 percent of the rice plant's energy needs.
Solar companies are becoming financial intermediaries, leading companies to install solar power that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.
