There are a lot of downers in the solar field – rebate money is depleting, Congress won’t back us, Solar jobs may be on the decline…however it’s always nice to remember the good news too.
Recently President Obama has pledged to generate 80% of America’s electricity from clean sources by 2035, which may be a difficult task, but shows that energy efficiency is on the minds of those in charge, which is encouraging.
There are also recent advancements in technologies of solar panels, which can lower the cost of creating energy from the sun, and take up less space to do so. Floating solar panels will begin testing in September 2011 in the East of France on the expanses of a hydo-electricity facility’s water surface. Scientists predict that by June 2012 they will have enough information on the productivity of the new floating solar panels to release to the market. This is great news for the solar industry as two of the highest difficulties are finding the space to install the panels, and the cost of maintenance. If these new panels work as predicted, both of the difficulties will be reduced and could potentially make solar energy much more accessible. Read more about the future...Floating Solar Panels
Rejoice in encouraging news!
When you use solar energy, you will realize that it uses absolutely no fuel other than the sun's light. Moreover, it does not release into the atmosphere anything harmful.
