Lead

Guiding questions:

• Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?

Yes, updated statistics to keep article more current

• Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?

The lead is flagged by wikipedia for not adequately summarizing the contents since it only gives some data about solar power in California without introducing the concepts of the discussion.

• Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?

No.

• Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?

Not really

• Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

It seems to be too detail oriented, but also not long enough.

Lead evaluation

I like the inclusion of the newer statistics, it might also be helpful to try and add a sentence or two discussing what solar power is, why its important and why its specific use in California is worth a wikipedia page.

Content

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added neutral?

yes

I think that the section under History you updated about housing affordability is helpful for keeping the tone neutral by addressing potential shortcomings of solar energy in homes.
