If you have solar panels in Oakland, Prince might have paid for them

http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/solar-panels-Oakland-Prince-charity-yeswecode-7306299.php

In the days since the death of music legend Prince, stories of his secret, wide-ranging philanthropy efforts are finally being told.

Two of Prince's major charitable endeavors were centered in the Bay Area: bringing solar panels to Oakland and helping young people of color learn how to code.

In an interview with CNN, political activist Van Jones revealed that, while he was the face of environmental group Green For All, Prince was the driving force and checkbook.

"There are people who have solar panels right now on their houses in Oakland, California that don't know Prince paid for them," Jones said.


I wonder what's in his will, if he made one at such a young age.
