The plan: A rooftop solar project that can power 5,000 homes -- and 500 L.A. jobs
A Los Angeles developer announced plans Friday to build the nation's largest rooftop solar array that supplies electricity directly into a city's power grid.
The project by developer PermaCity includes a 16.4-megawatt solar system -- enough to power 5,000 L.A. homes -- that the company will install on 2 million square feet of space on Westmont Drive buildings.
The power from the system, which is expected to be completed by year's end, will feed directly into the Department of Water and Power's grid through what is known as a feed-in tariff, or FiT, program. The project is expected to create 500 local jobs.
