The Time for Solar is NOW
You've probably seen calculators with solar cells -- devices that never need batteries and in some cases, don't even have an off button. As long as
there's enough light, they seem to work forever. You may
also have seen larger solar panels, perhaps on emergency road signs, call boxes, buoys and even in
parking lots to power the lights.
Although these larger panels aren't as common as solar-powered calculators, they're out there and not that hard
to spot if you know where to look. In fact, photovoltaics -- which were once used almost
exclusively in space, powering satellites' electrical systems as far back as 1958 -- are being used more and more
in less exotic ways. The technology continues to pop up in new devices all the time, from sunglasses to electric
vehicle charging stations.
The hope for a "solar revolution" has been floating around for decades -- the idea that one day
we'll all use free electricity from the sun. This is a seductive promise, because on
a bright, sunny day, the sun's rays give off approximately 1,000 watts of energy per square meter of the
planet's surface. If we could collect all of that energy, we could easily power our homes and offices for
free.
"I'd put my money on solar energy...I hope we don't have to wait till oil and coal run out
before we tackle that." Thomas Edison, in conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, March
1931
The time has come.....Wouldn't you agree?
