Yep. solar energy  falling on a solar photovoltaic module generatres
electrciity. Solar energy falling on a copper flat plate collectors
generates heat for heating hot water. And yes, passive solar energy heats
one's house through energy transfer into the house. There is NO single
answer to our energy problems. There are many. There are combinations of all
sorts, but we should strive to use fossil fuels solely as back up until we
design all building with passive soalr in any heating climate
and it becomes second nature to all builders and archtects. We have a long
way to go. PErhaps we are finally at a turning point. To bad we have Bush as
an oil man in the Whitehouse. Just means we have to work harder I guess.

If you are not using renewables in your own residence or place of business
then you really need to put your money where your mouth and thoughts are.
I bet less than 10% of the readers of this PV group have renewables in their
house or place of business. The first step to change is YOU!

Hum, I wonder how many users are in this group...........anyone in the know?
