In Another Life: Solar Power

I am occasionally reminded of how much I admire the concepts of solar power and the future it could sustain.

If I were in a different line of work, it would likely be in the solar power industry. Renewable energy is a concept that’s satisfying to get behind, like it has become satisfying to become a bicycle commuter.

A casual googling for “Bellingham solar” brings up a hit to Western Washington Solar. The page summarizes a few very good points about making a domestic solar investment. If I didn’t have to worry about stockpiling savings and retirement (among other notable house projects), I would jump on a solar upgrade for my house. Unfortunately, it seems like a massive initial investment. I am very eager for prices in solar components to drop. (Who isn’t?)

I will blog more about solar power! I would love to hear from anyone who’s got a solar experience, even passive solar design. This is a topic I want to share.

  1. I do wish that everyone will jump on the solar power bandwagon. This is something we all can do for ourselves at home… right now! Even if you rent you can remove some of the electrical burden for your home.

    Do-It-Yourself solar panels are simple to make and cost as little as under $200 per panel. There is no need to wait for the bureaucrats to figure out how they intend to set up and deliver solar power to our homes.

    Let’s not wait. Let’s get started now and cut down and maybe even eliminate the power companies from our lives and return to truly green living.
