Abstract:

Electric utilities, including North Carolina's electric cooperatives, are increasing their deployment of affordable, clean, renewable energy sources to generate electricity. Solar power is being used in some places, such as the home shopping retailer QVC distribution center near Rocky Mount, and a Duke Energy solar farm in Davidson County. For most homeowners and businesses, the cost to install solar power systems is expensive.
