Those of us that look into converting our homes over to solar as either a tie-in system or an off the grid system knows that these panels aren’t exactly the cheapest things. There is a group of young scientists lead by Dr. Kevin Dahm at the College of Engineering at Rowan University in New Jersey [...]

As you read the news you see more and more alternative power plants being built. There are several in Arizona and New Mexico.

 
Even Pennsylvania is getting into the act with a 3 mega-watt power center that should open later this year. The Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell says that 850 mega-watts of additional solar power [...]

In order to bring the costs of solar generated power down, the Department of Energy has decided to invest up to $13.7 million over 3 years for various university projects. The goal is to work on bringing the cost of the energy generated from photovoltaic technologies down. Current price levels are between $0.18 and $0.23 [...]
