SOLAR STAR PROJECTS
Star Projects are located in Kern and Los Angeles Counties and will have over 1.7 million solar panels when completed in late
2015 , providing power to 255,000 homes . Electricity generated at these farms displaces more than 570,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year — the equivalent of taking nearly 108,000 cars off the road annually , or 2 million over a 20-year period .
