It took just 15 minutes for Pacific Power's share of Oregon's new solar power incentive program to fill up the first round.
"People compare it to getting tickets to a big rock show," Pacific Power spokesman Tom Gauntt told The Oregonian.
Among the winners Thursday was Mark Pengilly of Portland, who sat at his home computer and hit "send" on his application just as the clock struck 8 a.m. A member of Oregonians for Renewable Energy Policy, an organization that lobbied the Legislature for the program, he wants to power an electric or plug-in hybrid car with his planned 6.5-kilowatt system.
