I’ve been a land use and environmental lawyer for over 15 years, and one of the most common questions my clients get when developing a large-scale project like a solar farm is, what will the environmental impact be?
It goes without saying that any development, no matter how “green,” will affect the environment to some degree. [...]
The perfect source for solar power? Solar Power (photovoltaics) is now a one-billion-dollar industry, and it’s poised to grow rapidly in the near future as more pressure is placed on limited fossil fuel resources and as advances in solar technology drive down the costs of residential solar systems. This book helps [...]
Group discounts for solar panels? That’s the theory behind the organization called One Block of the Grid, or 1BOG.
For people wishing to install solar panels on their home or small business, there is power in numbers. If a solar company can sell 5 solar power systems, instead of just 1, its a good deal for [...]

Three cheers for solar technology advancements!
This latest one comes from sunny Caltech (you might know it as California Institute of Technology). Researchers there have created a new flexible solar cell, which takes long, thin silicon wires and embeds them into a polymer substrate. The result is an inexpensive solar cell that can efficiently convert photons [...]

If you are considering solar photovoltaic panels for your home or business, did you know that you can sell back solar power to your utility?
In other words, if you generate more solar electricity than you use on a given day, the excess is fed back into the grid and is tracked by met meters.
In general, [...]

Reviewed with Christine Petersen’s Wind Power.Gr. 3-5. The familiar small, square format and the large, well-spaced type of volumes in the long-running True Book umbrella series have been preserved in this new offshoot, Environment & Conservation. Petersen provides readers with a lucid picture of the sun and wind as natural forces before introducing some [...]
ddressing the often-cited reason that many choose not to install solar panels on their property, news of the development of attractive glass pyramid-shaped solar cells is certainly welcome! Coupled with a reasonable price tag and high efficiency, the solar technology that scientists at the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE) could be the next [...]
