Thanks for participating in our recent energy poll, where we asked you to choose your favorite renewable energy sources. Voting is still open, but so far it looks like solar power is the most popular choice, with wind power in second place. We recently came across another interesting NWA news article that examines the [...]

If you’re looking into getting your own Solar System for your home here is a “Solar Calculator” that will give you an idea of how much it will cost and the size of the system you’ll probably need. All 50 states are covered in this calculator. After you’ve got an idea of the size and cost you can find a “Solar Pro” in your area to contact about a system.
