This is a good sign. We as a nation need more investment by the government and military into renewable energy sources. If solar arrays started showing up on all types of government buildings and military installations, I think that would without a doubt, increase consumer/investor confidence, which would in turn increase private investments into “utility grade” solar and other renewable sources. Why we have not set a Renewable Energy Standard in the US with Feed in Tariff Provisions is confusing to me and many other citizens. Maybe if this trend continues there may be hope yet !

I am a firm believer in small scale solar, less permitting and approval hassles, much faster to install and get up and producing, and if everyone implements this at their own home (if possible) to offset even a portion of the electricity consumed at home we could significantly reduce our use of coal fired electricity. With panel prices dropping on a regular basis hopefully this will become a more common practice. Below is a re-print of an article on Clean Technica . com read and enjoy. Check Out The Rest →

Finding a way to decipher the different types of solar power systems in today’s myriad of online articles can be daunting and confusing to say the least. Much of the public think that you have to have batteries in order to have solar power, this is untrue, as a matter of fact most residential solar systems being installed today are “grid tied” or “grid connected”, without batteries. No batteries required!
Photovoltaic systems can be configured in a variety of ways. This article will describe the Check Out The Rest →
