During the opening ceremony, birds fly over a solar power array that will provide Northern California farmers with a renewable energy source to power key equipment and save on energy costs in Knights Landing, California on Friday. The owner, the Sutter Basin Growers Cooperative, has activated 5 acres of light-gathering panels and will use the system to run its rice and bean dryers - and cut its power bill by up to 80 percent. The 880-kilowatt, $4.5 million solar array was installed by Denver-based Conergy Projects Inc. The Sutter Basin panels are expected to produce 1.4 million kilowatt-hours of power per year and create an annual carbon dioxide offset of about 1,111 tons.
