Today's photovoltaic market. |
| 12/30/2010 11:17:45 AM |
The push to design green has turned the photovoltaic market into a $4 billion global industry that grows an average of 20% to 25% a year. Richard King, team leader for photovoltaics research and development for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), says the U.S. photovoltaic industry currently generates about 120MW a year, but by 2020, the nation could produce a few...

It Would Be Nice to Have Solar Panels Right About Now |
| 6/2/2010 9:40:31 AM |
 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... Read More |

Solar Thermal Energy Rich in the Southwest |
| 5/18/2010 5:59:48 AM |
 Bar none, there is not a corner of the United States that sees more sun annually then the Southwest. The desert landscape, lack of tall vegetation and many rooftops is the perfect formula for capturing solar thermal energy. I lived in Arizona, traveled around the Southwest and have an intimate understanding of the desert being an outdoorsman. Speaking for Arizona, this is... Read More |

Free Electricity Making His Bank Account Greener |
| 4/14/2010 10:53:40 PM |
Not too long ago I was talking with someone who told me they were getting free electricity, but even better than that, they were also getting paid by the electric company for their electricity. I was dumbfounded to hear about this and then he explained to me exactly how he was doing his free electricity magic trick. He told me that his house in the country was ran by a... Read More |

Solar Thermal Energy Is The Way To Go |
| 3/12/2010 12:46:21 PM |
I recently had a solar thermal energy system installed on my house. I was looking at ways to help the environment, and I found a website online that explained the benefits of going green. I was able to find and purchase my solar energy system right from my house. No crowds or traffic to deal with so the whole experience was great. My purchase arrived about a week later and...

My Solar Panels Work Great |
| 2/4/2010 8:43:52 AM |
Solar thermal energy has the potential to power the world. I just had my first set of solar panels installed and I am very happy. Our battery system will get bigger as we expand our technology and expertise. I love to know that my kitchen and living room operate solely on solar thermal energy and by next year we expect to be off the grid and self sufficient. Global warming... Read More |

Solar Thermal Energy Is For Me |
| 1/29/2010 10:45:24 AM |
Solar thermal energy has the ability to free us all from the high price of electricity. Solar panels take the suns light and turn them into energy that we all can use. Global Warming is a real matter that we should take very seriously. Beides the positive effects that Going Green has on the environment, you are also eligible for energy tax rebates from local and federal... Read More |

No Need to Sacrifice Comfort When Going Green |
| 12/5/2009 8:19:53 AM |
 Last week when I was looking at ways to heat my home with solar thermal energy online, I ran across a guy who does just that and augments his home's heat by applying bubble wrap to his interior windows. I had some extra bubble wrap laying around, so I tried it and could not believe how much warmer the windows stayed over night, hence the house was a lot warmer, too. It's... Read More |

Solar Thermal Energy Has Much Potential for Generating Power |
| 11/2/2009 4:19:02 PM |
 Solar thermal energy is one of the best ways of harvesting sunshine and turning it into power. There is a huge solar thermal energy production center just south of Las Vegas, Nevada that I've driven by many times. It's quite impressive and it's nice to see companies setting up these facilities around the country. When public or private utilities start going green, we hope... Read More |

America Working Towards a Clean Energy Economy with Massive Solar Panels Plant |
| 11/2/2009 2:53:11 PM |
 Possibly one of the longest running technologies to transform America into a clean energy economy has been solar panels. This is not a new technology but a fairly expensive one that has hit cost speed bumps over the decades, pushing it out of the minds of many homeowners and power plants looking at all the different energy options. There are always those few who see going... Read More |

Solar Panels have Changed a Lot as Technology Advances |
| 8/6/2009 1:03:43 PM |
 Solar Panels
I remember my mother telling me years and years ago that one day every home would have solar panels. One year at the fair they had a house that was designed to use solar thermal energy only. It was energy independent. There was talk about it being able to produce more energy than was needed to run the home. The extra energy could actually be stored or sold. The... Read More |

THE OTHER KIND OF SOLAR POWER |
| 7/25/2009 1:45:26 PM |
Energy: Think of solar power, and you probably think of photovoltaic
panels. But there is another way to make electricity from sunlight,
which arguably has even brighter prospects
IN THE past few months BrightSource Energy, based in California, has
signed the world's two largest deals to build new solar-power capacity.
The company will soon begin constructing the first in a... Read More |
