Solar Power
Tag details
Converting the sun's rays into usable energy is an integral step in decreasing our dependency on fossil fuels and lowering our greenhouse gas emissions. While solar panels have been used in buildings since the 50's, we're just starting to reach the tipping point for their widespread adoption.
With subsidies that lower the costs of installations and feed-in-tariffs that pay for the electricity solar energy produces, going solar is more than an environmental decision; it makes sense economically.
The technology is actually simple, but everything surrounding it — not so much. It's going to be up to innovative entrepreneurs and policy makers to make solar power more economical, the grid smarter, homeowners and businesses more receptive, and coding and permits more uniform so that all the pieces fit nicely together.
