Easy DIY Solar Lighting
Need light in a remote location? Build this simple solar-powered lighting system, learn renewable energy basics and generate serious solar excitement! Using low-power, direct current circuitry minimizes power requirements and simplifies installation. See how easy it is to assemble a small, grid-independent -volt lighting system, powered by a small battery and photovoltaic panel. Let there be light!
Buyer's Guide to Solar Heating
Tap free heat from the sun with these solar hot-air collectors.
Easy Solar Power
Installing clean, reliable, inflation-proof solar power is easier than ever, thanks to the invention of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) laminates that can be bonded directly onto metal roofing panels. Unlike crystalline PV material, there's no need for obtrusive racks and heavy, expensive glass. Instead, unbreakable thin-film PV is produced using amorphous silicon, encapsulated in Teflon and other polymers.
