I was on the phone with a friend who lives in Phoenix, Arizona last night. He mentioned how the weather had really been heating up and how meteorologists were predicting triple digit temperatures this weekend. I was sweating my face off this past Monday where I live and it was only in the 80s. Anything above 100-degrees is a tough pill to swallow. I’ve been to Arizona enough to understand this kind of heat. He then made a joke about buying solar panels online and setting them up on his apartment’s roof so he wouldn’t have to start leaking money out the window, literally while his air conditioner blasted refrigerated air into the rooms.
He does have a point. All new buildings in Arizona should require solar panels. This is one of the hottest portions of the country with sunshine 355 days out of the year. Solar thermal energy would help a lot of people save money on bills. Imagine how quick a new apartment building would fill up if solar panels on the roof ate up a collective portion of all the residents’ power bills.
