Do it yourself solar panels are coming to a Lowe’s near you
Lowe’s announced last week that it would start selling PV panels in California and nationwide in 2010. They are obviously for home use but it is interesting nonetheless.
They also mention that you can special order a wind turbine soon.
Thank you so much for the great article. this was exactly what I needed to read
Excellent. Now he can pollute the world to an unheard of level. The production of photovoltaics is the single greatest producer per watt of toxic chemicals of any power producing technology. Also, the effective life of panels in real world installations makes them barely able to produce more than the energy needed to manufacture them. Good luck scaling up that technology. The key to energy efficiency is reduction of consumption. Just another case of believing that technology itself can necessarily improve our lives without intelligent application.
Solar, thanks for sharing your perspective. I agree with that the key to energy efficiency is reducing consumption.
