Why Solar?
Back in the good old days (30 years ago), Real Goods approached environmentalism by educating as many people as possible as fast as possible about new renewable energy technologies and the wisdom of simple processes like recycling, composting, natural building, and resource conservation. The abundance of new energy resources and dialogue in the media today has finally opened the eyes of millions of people to the possibilities of FREE renewable energy from the sun. As opposed to wind or hydro power, solar power generates electricity at peak times—when the grid needs it most. This is good news for saving on your electricity rates, and good news for a greener economy. It’s a win-win, no matter what moves you.
