Welcome to a New Solar Decade! Are You Ready? January 2020

Happy new year! And welcome to the Solar+ Decade, as coined by SEIA last fall. It’s 2020, a decade often used to denote the future in literature and predictions. The classic movie, Bladerunner, took place in 2019. I am thankful we’re not so dystopian as predicted by...

Dear Solar: We Still Need to Work on That Image, July 2019

I read a great overview about how solar works in a recent Popular Mechanics article. It was well-written and provided an excellent overview. This paragraph stuck with me, however: But for all their importance, solar panels still feel mysterious. Stiff and slightly...
