Passive Solar Heating

There is no cookie-cutter or one-size-fits-all solution to passive solar design, as good solutions will be tailored to specific latitudes. A design that works well in Minnesota is not a design that would work well in Florida. learn more ...

Solar Electricity - Photovoltaics

Photovoltaics are technologies that convert radiant light energy to electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) cells, also called solar cells, are the building blocks of this technology. PV cells are connected together to form larger modules. A module is typically placed near or on a home or building to provide a portion of, and in some cases all of, the building's power and in turn electricity. learn more ...
