Jeff,A church in Virgil, on the Niagara Stone Road in Ontario, Canada (on the way to Niagara On the Lake) has solar panels that appear to be on a slate roof; for about 10 years. I suspect the appearance from the ground of slate may be an illusion; the roof panels may actually be a composite that provides ...

There are alternatives to battery powered futures so the statement that any mineral is solely needed is false. As one of our members has said, almost all of the choices, is a more realistic statement.David Stout.

Kat,It is a fact that in the Northern Hemisphere, South facing fixed angle panels will collect more solar energy than any other compass orientation. So that is the basis of my statement. I have no problem with your covering the Solar Facts, even as I repeat them. Ignoring solar facts leads to excess ...

Kat,A South facing "salt box" roof on the modular building probably is mandatory. Of course placement must provide the "South" part. The zoning "away from the "grid" will usually not control how the building is placed on the lot or property. BUT zoning can prevent the longest dimension of the building ...

Rooftops remain available and in some areas flat ones will produce most of the power, land to site solar panels may well not be needed.David Stout.

All,Making products repairable to extend the useful life was once considered mandatory or reasonable.We need to return to the days of yesteryear to help save the planet.Business must adapt to repairable; initial price might have to be more (but reduce waste, rew materials, and pollution alot).David Stout, ...

Ella Nielsen,The biggest educational need is a list of best alternatives in each jurisdiction, particularly which solar cell system manufacturers (once rated by FL rating agency), and saying that one can produce all or part of their use. Also, in many jurisdictions net metering, or other energy storage ...

To be immediately effective humans need to stop using fossil fuels in New buildings and NEW vehicles as soon as next month!!They also need to call for the CONVERSION of ALL existing buildings to non-fossil fuel use. See RMI for suggestions. That conversion will likely take 5-10 years.David Stout, Environmental ...

I doubt any SINGLE solar effect "source" (like just solar electric) is THE ANSWER to the fossil fuel pollution problem. Only the nearly complete cessation of using fossil fuels for energy will solve global climate change. The climate is showing us daily whay we need to stop tomorrow or set an end date ...

Dear Solar Energy Advocates, Most larger US solar panel companies have monitoring programs for the panels they sell and provide the daily internet collected production information to their clients, thus most of us already have that information. There are many variables that affect actual production so ...
