Going Solar !

This past Wednesday, we finally went solar.

It’s true that with an average of 229 days of sunshine per year, we’d be foolish not to tap into that power. It’s also probable that our next vehicle will be electric vehicle and that we can recharge it while the sun is shinning.

There’s also global warming and the likelihood we’ll need more air-conditioning in years to come. Finally, it could be to atone for my excessive air travel of years past, even though my past carbon footprint can’t be erased and forgiven so easily.

Even if we don’t consume much electricity at the moment, these are plenty of good reasons to step forward and do a tiny bit to preserving our ailing planet!

Of course, just as my wife did, I’m sure you’ll ask “but how does a photo-voltaic panel turns sun rays into electricity?”

I’ll answer, “Excellent question. It’s in fact a combination of sun and sand, and you can watch this story in more details in the video below!”
