Fredrick the Shopan asked:


Say solar panels converted 100% of energy from the sun. How much energy would a solar panel get that was, say, 1 square foot? What I mean is how much of the sun’s energy actually gets to the solar panel?

The company I work for is interested in using solar panels. What are the best resources on the web for info?

Pamela B asked:


I think it is a great idea and would love for this company to get these panels. I am the sole person in charge of retrieving info though, and want to make a convincing argument. The owner wants a realistic number of how much it would cost to go solar powered. Also, we are located north of Chicago if that makes a difference. Any info would be appreciated!

what save more electricity? Solar panels over half my roof, or trees covering half my roof?

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011
anonomama asked:


I was wondering which would save more money in the electricity arena (I know tree’s can damage roofs).
I had heard that the shade provided by trees covering your house can help to greatly reduce summer electric bills.
I had read that Solar panels need to go onto the south side of the house, and that is where the tree’s shade the house. So which is more cost effective?
Also I know many of the benefit’s tree’s can provide, as well as the negatives associated with large tree’s near houses.
