| Photovoltaic solar systems use sunlight to generate
electricity. The potential is huge – with current photovoltaic
technology we could supply all U.S. electrical needs by covering only
one third of one percent of our country's land area in modules. There
are no moving parts, so once installed they deliver energy as long as
the sun shines. The solution is there, and you can be part of it. |
| More and more areas have energy buy-back programs (called
net metering), allowing owners of solar systems to sell excess
electricity back to the power company. The power companies like it,
because they buy electricity from you when they need it the most, during
the day, when companies and air conditioning units are running at their
peak. It is a true win-win situation. |
