Overview: In Spring 2002, Alameda County successfully completed the fourth largest solar electric system in the world atop the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, California. The Santa Rita Jail is the largest energy user of Alameda County's government buildings. This solar installation, the nation's largest rooftop system, was commissioned to help Alameda County reduce and stabilize future energy costs. This smart energy project reduces the jail's use of utility-generated electricity by 30 percent through solar power generation and energy conservation. Clean energy is generated by a 1.18 Megawatt installation consisting of three acres of solar photovoltaic panels.
