Our home has been off-grid for the last 16 years, and I know there are a lot of pros and cons concerning this subject – gosh, listening to Rush Limbaugh, you would think solar was a great conspiracy! Let me put this forward: Solar, whether you use it or not, gives you a choice. Utility service and all of the political flies buzzing around it cannot monopolize, and control your electrical need. You have a choice – thanks to the solar industry.
Here is something else to think about: Today, photo voltaic panels on most homes, today, are about 15% efficient. That means in a given area (say, 2’ X 2’), the sun sends energy of which we are only able to convert 15% of it into electrical current - but that is changing. There are solar companies today that are able to produce panels with double that efficiency. And then there is also an effort to utilize electrical magnetic energy that permeate the whole universe – the static you hear in between radio stations. Imagine that – panels that can produce electricity day and night, rain or shine! This is all pie-in-the-sky kind of stuff, but we can technically do it. What we need is will, and in our culture will rides the shirttail of money. People smell money and they do all kinds of things – some of it honest, and some of it not so honest, but all in all, will abounds! Some of us have witnessed this process with the computer industry. I was in the Air Force during the 60’s and I remember using ticker tape in our communication efforts. I then got a job with a large computer company and I remember the wonderful advancement of the punched card. Today – well , we are culturally changed. I suspect the auto industry had the same affect on our culture. I think the solar industry has that same potential. So, you ney-sayers who curse and shake your fist at that contraption that passed you by tooting its horn and upsetting your horse and buggy – give us a smile. We are an infant just learning to walk.
