"Good Day, Sunshine!" Without it, we would all perish! There are many ways solar energy is utilized to make commercial buildings, private homes and entire eco-villages more efficient, comfortable, and pleasant. Solar energy is quickly becoming a viable resource for our everyday needs.

Our goal is to understand what is involved in developing a new economy that utilizes the sun's energy. Because education is the key to a sustainable shift to solar energy, entrepreneurs and contractors in the field will address the obstacles, upfront costs, maintenance and practical questions of installing a solar electric system. Let's have some fun with the sun! Please contribute your ideas and questions to: offthegrid@voiceyourself.com.
