According to IPRC President, Larry Crowley, Idaho Power and APC are poised to serve the new U.S. market opportunity.
"We have seen in customer opinion survey after survey, the desire for clean, renewable energy alternatives," Crowley said.

In additional product development, Crowley adds that information and communication systems from Idaho Power subsidiary, IdaCom, can play a key role in the Million Roofs program as well. With the initiative calling for net metering as a national standard, IdaCom is deploying smart home technology that can improve energy efficiency in the home and meter electricity from the rooftop PV system fed back to the grid.
"Rooftop PV system packages from Idaho Power and APC will deliver excellent value to the customer with a high-quality and economic solar-electric system; all the tools needed to optimize the energy efficiency of the home; and the economic benefits of solar net metering," Crowley said.
The Million Roofs Initiative points to a growing global trend in using solar energy as a tool for climate change. At the upcoming Global Climate Change Conference to be held in Kyoto in December, Japan is expected to point to its national solar residential program, the largest in the world, as one of Japan's answers to global warming. Million Roofs signals America's willingness to join in that effort.
"The future is here," Crowley said, "a new era when solar energy will play a key role in our communities will start to unfold. We look forward to forming the partnerships with cities, schools, architects, and builders that will implement the President's vision for a sustainable future through solar power."

Larry Crowley, Director of Strategic Planning for the conference's host utility, Idaho Power Company, drew attention to the growing commitment of national governments and international finance organizations to meet the welfare needs of the world's poor, through rural electrification programmes. He proposed that the business opportunities, for energy service organizations that are able to display the appropriate competencies, lie in being able to satisfy the investment criteria of the lending organizations and so gain access to the support need to kick-start the business.
