Nevada Solar One - it works dammit! Let?s make more of them!
A few months ago, I calculated the extent to which we could secure our energy independence with $68B that President Bush requested for Iraq. And yes, with that money we could have built enough solar power plants to indefinitely satiate the combined energy demands of Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. And guess what? That [...]

Solar at Night? Soon.
“Solar at night” may no longer be an oxymoron. Most solar panels operate at only 20% efficiency, which means that 80% of sunlight’s punch is still lost. Truly high-end cells might manage to nab 40%, which would be great - for a batting average. But all told, most companies have been willing to accept this, as [...] More Read

Why no one has Solar Power
Why no one has Solar Power
I live in San Francisco… Probably the MOST progressive city in the US for solar power. California has a very juicy state solar rebate, and on top of that, is proposing the biggest and also one of the first municipal credits for solar power in the US. As an experiment, I sent out 1000 [...]

Top 10 Most Common Solar Power Questions
OK, fine. Spicy or Yellow is not one of them… But I do visit new homes daily for solar power evaluations and here are the 10 most common questions I hear: 1. If the grid goes down, I stay up, right? No. If you have a grid-tied system, that means that [...]
