SoloPower introduced on Monday a line of flexible panels for commercial rooftops.

The panels are lighter than glass-encased panels and can be installed quicker than other technologies.

One benefit of SoloPower's flexible solar modules is their relative quickness and ease of installation. The panels can be laminated onto rooftops, and mounted onto mobile racks to tilt the panels for optimum solar exposure.

future date.

6. Slowly but surely

we will be able to break the hold of the energy barons. Down here in Georgia Southern Company has been $$$fighting$$$ solar big time while increasing rates for customers.
God I would love to stick it to those assholes.

9. I'm planning on installing a metal roof in a few years - I'm hoping

to have solar panels on the south face.

12. Affordable home solar has been just about ready to hit the market for 10 years now.

It seems like it's all just hype.
I feel like affordable solar power is just a pipe dream.

13. I installed affordable solar pv on my home 9

years ago. It cost one third of what my car cost. It cost about twice what my boyfriend and I are spending on our European holiday. I have not paid an electric bill over 3 dollars in 9 years.
