In an effort to promote renewable energy, State Sen. José Menéndez had solar panels installed on the roof of his Northside home Thursday.

“On the one hand, I obviously feel good about leading by example, and not just with my words. But I wish that I wasn’t the first,” Menéndez said. “I wish that, as a city, it would be more commonplace for us to have solar panels so that we could reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.”
