Solar Tech And Eighties Computers
Home solar power is not new; its been around for many years. I recall my cousins from Mass. had solar panels put up on their roof way back in 1984. They were, of course, bulky and ugly. As high-tech and new technology that they were at that time, they barely created enough energy to heat the water of the home besides powering the house. Fast forward a to now and solar technology has improved significantly and the same size solar arrangement now may well power a modest house entirely; however, solar tech still has room to improve.
