1. Solar Energy and US
After few decades, you can see mostly all homes rooftops; walls of buildings are silver in color.
Yes solar panel installation is booming now. As prices of solar power are falling, solar panel
installation volume have skyrocketed. Government’s solar power policies and affordable clean
energy is attracting people to install solar kits.
Today’s modern systems use a method of sun exposure to generate electricity via
semiconductors. Simple, direct exposure to the sun and its heat generate electrons that are
then captured into the system and translated into electricity. The design can be used for a
variety of things as small as powering a mobile phone to as large of a system as that needed to
power your home.
Solar energy is the cleanest and greenest source of renewable energy generated electricity
available to help power your home, business or community building. I will not only cut your
greenhouse emission but also your electricity bill.
Average solar panel size needed to power the average home is around 600 sq ft. A complete
solar kit can make tour home energy independent. US is among leader countries who using
solar energy. Prices of solar panels are also decreasing and come to an affordable rate. In US
Panel prices have fallen almost 69 percent in the past two years. Installation of panels on
rooftop is easy and it also saves an extra space. In fact, residential electricity produced by solar
in the first quarter of 2013 was almost 10 times higher than that generated in 2008, according
to the Solar Energy Industries Association.

2. Here are some tips for installation of Solar panels
 Place your panels where it will get plentiful direct sunlight.
 Prefer to use thin film panels.
 If your budget is higher, you can use flexible panels but it is costly.
 Try to use branded material.
 Clean solar panels regular with recommended precautions.
Flexible solar panels were created at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in which
solar cells are manufactured by depositing photovoltaic material using chemical vapor
deposition technology. They can be used as wall paper and window shades for producing
electricity from room lighting.
The U.S. solar energy industry is the fastest-growing industry in the U.S. It is creating jobs 10
times faster than the U.S. economy as a whole. Also us government is giving some more
facilities to zero emission buildings. In upcoming years, energy generated from solar power
will be the second-largest source added to the U.S. electric grid. Even the White House has
begun installing American-made solar panels on the first family’s residence as part of an
energy retrofit that will improve the overall energy efficiency of the building,
Lancaster and Sebastopol are two cities who are fighting to become solar capital of US.
Lancaster and Sebastopol were the first two cities in the U.S. to pass a solar mandate. In
Sebastopol, all new residential and commercial buildings are required to install 2 watts of
power per square foot of insulated building area.
Lancaster Sebastopol
Population 146,000 7,400
Geography Dessert City Wine Country (Sonoma
Country)
Median Income $48,237 $60,322
Median house/Combo Value $175,900 $485,870
So we can say that in coming years, solar energy is no longer imaginary, fringy idea. With
photoelectric cells and a solar electric panel system, a household can easily reduce its electricity
consumption. Solar tree, solar fountain, solar sunglasses are some cool solar gadgets came to
market recently.
