Which cities are the greatest users of solar power?

The people getting rooftop solar are not who you think they are.

 Sunny California continues to lead the nation in rooftop solar installations, but that’s not what’s most surprising about the new numbers from state utility regulators.Solar’s greatest appeal is not in any tony enclave of wealthy liberals. It’s in suburban, middle-class cities that are mostly Republican strongholds, an analysis of data from Southern California Edison’s service area shows.

The electric utility serves more than 14 million people in central, coastal and Southern California, according to its website.

Corona, Murrieta, Fontana, Temecula, and San Bernardino have the most rooftop generating capacity, according to data that privately owned utilities submitted to state regulators.
