How to Teach and Talk to Your Kids About Energy Conservation
Your kids have likely encountered the term “energy conservation” tossed around in casual conversation, in the media, or in the classroom, but they might not fully appreciate what it means, or why it matters. Energy conservation refers to the practice of intentionally and consciously using less energy. This can be as simple as unplugging appliances when they’re not in use
How Does the Inflation Reduction Act Affect Solar Panel Owners?
If you keep up with national politics, you likely heard that Congress just passed a landmark piece of legislation called the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The large spending bill has a ton of implications for renewable energy and its role in combating climate change, including for the solar power industry. Addressing climate change, in fact, is one of the
Summer 2022’s Record Heatwaves, Climate Change, and the Solar Power Solution
Summer 2022 has been a scorcher. We now know without a shred of doubt, thanks to diligent research projects and large-scale investment by both the private and public sectors into tackling the issue, that human activity is driving these concerning temperature rises. We also know that solar power is an indispensable – and, arguably, the most important – piece of
Are Energy Reduction Products Useful?
Property owners interested in the cost-savings and environmental benefits of solar panels might also be interested in so-called “energy reduction products.” Lots of solar companies push these products to accompany solar panels. But do they work? Do they really reduce power usage and energy bills? Do energy efficiency products really protect the environment? The answers are nuanced. Let’s take a
Do Solar Companies Provide Solar Buyback?
One of the biggest potential advantages of going solar in Florida is the option to sell excess energy back to the power company. This widespread practice is called “solar buyback.” Beyond simply cutting back or eliminating your power bill, your solar panels can potentially put extra money back into your pocket each month if they generate more power than you
How to Calculate Your Solar Panel System Size
One of the most common questions we get from our customers pertains to how to calculate their solar panel system size to meet their energy needs. Matching your solar panel system design/configuration to match your energy usage will produce maximum cost-efficiency. Let’s explore how to calculate your power needs, how to estimate power output from solar panels, and how to
