Understanding How Solar Works

Frequent visitors to the site will know that solar energy is a frequent topic of discussion. Whether we are trumpeting the use of innovative financing structures for promoting solar production in America and abroad or discussing the potential uses of solar power at a future World Cup, we spend a lot of time writing about energy from the sun. As dictated by both our limited knowledge of the engineering side of the solar business and the limited scope of the site we typically stick to non-technical discussions on the economics of tax credits or how laws might need to change to stimulate solar development. However, in order to understand these bigger picture aspects of the business, a solid foundation of just how solar power actually works is indispensible. The website HowStuffWorks.com, true to its name, can provide just that here.
