But there is a major difference between us and San Francisco -- we are quite a bit further north than they are. In fact, there is no large city on this continent closer to the North Pole than the Twin Cities.

Before we spend money on this, I'd like a bit more evidence that it will actually work in our climate. Are there any such large scale municipal solar roofs actually in operation anywhere in our climate zone?

Francisco):

How about such a project here in Minneapolis. We've got lots of city owned
roofs and I bet most of them are covered in gravel. How about the high
schools, park board HQ, or even our own convention center?
