The Energy Show · SunPower – Requiem for a Solar Leader “SunPower” and “bankruptcy” are two words I never thought I’d see in the same sentence. But we should temper our schadenfreude. The solar industry owes SunPower and their employees tremendous gratitude. Without a doubt, our industry would be much smaller without SunPower’s early and […]

The Energy Show · Declare Your Energy Independence from Sky High Electric Bills
Utilities are in business to make money. So it’s no surprise that your electric bills will keep going up.
You may not know it, but since 2022 the United States has been energy independent. As a country, we produce more energy (mostly fossil fuels) than we consume.

Please give those photons the chance to knock an electron loose from an eager semi-conductor. Instead of being converted to heat and banished to quantum hell.
Save The Photons. Clean Your Solar Panels
After just a week, your panels might look slightly dusty. But a light coating of dust doesn’t significantly block sunlight. However, severe grime, especially on low-tilt panels, can slash your out ..read more
