They want very large installations to keep the overhead costs down. Also, residential roofs are not level, which makes installation more challanging, not to mention reduced illumination on parts of the roof. But I agree, why not include LA, Ventura, and Orange county too. Go figure. The reason they won’t do residential roofs is the hassle factor cost.

I don't know WHY it's only the Riverside and San Bernardino counties. There are plenty of warehouse roofs also in Orange, and Los Angeles county, not to mention Ventura county as well too. This would be really sweet too if they were to extend it to roofs other than just warehouses: industrial roofs, commercial roofs, heck, even residential roofs. Oh well, this in itself is a GREAT START for my company. Unfortunately, my company has a long history of beuracrocy (i don't think i spelled it right), so who knows if they will get 50MW a year like they plan too. I work for this company.
