"... California officials reported Thursday that state residents have installed 1,066 megawatts of solar systems using rebates from the $2.4 billion California Solar Initiative, launched in 2007 as a way to jump-start the industry.
...
As a result, state officials say the program should reach its goal of funding enough installations to generate 1,940 megawatts by the end of 2016.
...
When other facilities are included - such as photovoltaic power plants that sell their electricity to utilities - the state can now generate more than 2 gigawatts from the sun, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association."
