The Helena Independent Record reports on a solar tracker that was installed on the roof of a downtown museum. The solar tracker complements a pre-existing array and will add to it's efficiency by directing sunlight to the array. The tracker was installed by the cleverly named Solar Plexus a Missoula based renewable energy concern that sells and installs solar, wind and hydropower systems. Rip Hamilton, a principal of the company makes a point in the article that will warm the hearts of solar power advocates in California: " 'Solar is catching on pretty quick,' said Hamilton. 'It’s a little slow
in Montana, but California is now the world’s third largest market.
It’s growing fast.' "
