As a big fan of solar power, I was happy to learn today via the Denver Post that “SunEdison activated its 8.22-megawatt photovoltaic solar plant Monday, with the plant generating power for Xcel Energy two weeks ahead of schedule”. It is always great news to see solar power activity taking place, surely one of the cleanest sources of energy available.
