The bright solar energy future that we all hoped for is here at last! Tennessee is the first state that has an airport that is 100% powered by clean energy. Airport officials hope that the airport would serve as an example to other states. That’s because going solar will protect the environment as well as…
Residential solar installation has gained popularity in the last several years — and for a good reason. By switching from conventional energy sources to renewable ones, you can reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your electricity bill. Moreover, solar panels use an energy source that is renewable and can be replenished easily. You…

A solar PPA allows you to avoid the complicated and costly issues of the installation process for solar power systems. The financial agreement enables a third-party developer that operates and owns a PV system to lease the energy to a consumer. The deal is beneficial to both parties.

The cost of a solar power system often deters people from buying one — and we can’t really blame them. But, a solar lease will…
Back in 1931, the New York Times headline read “Use of solar energy is near a solution.” The quote turned out to be a sort of premonition, and more and more people are jumping on the low-carbon bandwagon. The use of fossil and natural fuels has caused our planet great harm, and we need to…
Believe it or not, before the development of coal in the 19th century, almost all of the energy we used was renewable. We can see examples of this in using biomass to fuel fires or harnessing the power of the wind to sail ships. Renewable energy uses sources like the wind, sun, water, and others…
