Okay so, the writing is on the walls, China’s labor rates are going to increase finally. I say finally because with the Chinese currency being manipulated downward the nation had a great advantage in trade, almost to the point of being called onto the carpet at the WTO by its biggest trading partners, nations like the US that remain its exporting mainstay and for the most part the reality of their successful economic rise.

Financial analysis suggests that installing a PV system on a home actually increases the home’s value. The basic theory is that once that system is in place, the cost of operating the home each month decreases (because of the lower electric bills). Therefore, those monthly savings could theoretically go towards a slightly larger mortgage payment instead of the electric bill, with no change to the total monthly cost of ownership and operation.

I was at a friend’s house yesterday afternoon doing a solar site evaluation and I had a really interesting conversation about the BP oil catastrophe. She mentioned something that sounded funny to me at first. She said that the oil spill must be having a positive impact on the solar industry.

I meet a lot of people who think they can’t solve the energy problem going on in the world. They believe it’s up to the government and the utilities to figure that out. Even if these same people support renewable energy, they still think they can’t make a difference.
