The Rise of Remote Community Solar Gardens
We’ve talked extensively about community solar gardens in the past. Instead of financing and installing a photovoltaic (PV) installation on your own property, you can buy into a “shared” solar PV system installed somewhere else. Basically, anyone in the community can...Cool Green Tech: Solar Panel Sockets for the Window
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have been around since the 1950s. And with each passing year, efficiency rates continue to improve – while costs continue to decline. That’s good for everyone. The more affordable and powerful solar technology becomes, the less reliant...A Potential Compromise on Solar Net Metering?
Solar net metering is a powerful green incentive that allows photovoltaic (PV) customers to sell excess solar electricity into the grid – usually at full retail rates. Available in most states, these net metering programs have helped jumpstart the solar industry and...Worldwide Investments in Green Power Booming
Earlier this week, we covered a developing story in Florida. State utilities are desperately trying to pass a new amendment that would make it harder for area residents to go solar affordably. And this trend isn’t limited to the Sunshine State. All over the country,...When Solar Energy Legislation Is Deceptive
It’s common practice to market new policies in the best light possible. In fact, many politicians use deceptively ambiguous language to hide their true intentions. Think back to George Bush’s Healthy Forest Initiative or Operation Enduring Freedom – programs that left...This Free Site Can Tell You If Your Roof Is Suitable for Solar
Many solar PV installers use satellite imaging technology to determine if a roof is suitable for solar. But these images can only tell you so much. You can see the total area of the roof, but you can’t easily determine the slant or shading. This is why reputable...If You Think Solar PV Panels Are Ugly – Read This
At Sunline Energy, our dream is to cover every rooftop in the nation with gleaming solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. We honestly find the technology to be objectively beautiful. But not everyone feels the same way. There are some who think solar PV panels are ugly. They...Why Big Name Retailers Love Free Sunshine
Last week, we profiled Walmart – the country’s largest corporate supporter of solar power. To date, it has almost 350 photovoltaic (PV) systems installed on its stores around the nation. And these installations harness free sunshine to generate over 140 MW of clean...Should There Be Energy Storage Incentives?
It’s impossible to overstate the importance of the federal solar tax credit. Under this incentive, those who install PV panels receive a 30% “tax credit” to help pay for their installations. In essence, their PV systems become 30% cheaper than they would otherwise be....California Creates 150GWh of Green Power in 1 Day
Climate change skeptics love to criticize renewable power sources like solar, wind, and geothermal. They often claim that green energy simply doesn’t work, citing huge failures like Solyndra as prime examples. These critics conveniently ignore major fossil fuel...California Doubles Down on GHG Reduction Goals
Greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions are a big deal in California. With more than 3,400 miles of coastline, the state remains extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels. Drought conditions have plagued California for 6 straight years. And seasonal wildfires are no longer...Tips to Help You Save Money in the Bathroom
This is a guest post from our friends over at Steam Showers Inc. The bathroom is the one room in our homes where water is king. The toilet, steam shower bathtub, sink … every single one of those fixtures uses water, and every drop of water equals money going...What Happens When Solar Penetration Reaches 15%?
Back in 1962, economist, Everett Rogers, proposed that when an innovation reaches 15% adoption, that new invention becomes mainstream. We’ve already seen this trend happen with computers, the Internet, smartphones, and countless other breakthroughs. These inventions...How Energy Efficiency Increases Solar ROIs
We never get tired of talking about the many benefits that solar power brings. By installing PV panels on your residential or commercial property, you’re able to create your own clean electricity. And this solar investment helps you: Reduce reliance on the utility...
