Save and Conserve

At the beginning of 2007, I took a class on solar PV electric systems at Hudson Valley Community College. The class was taught by the owners of Renewable Power Systems, an Albany-area solar installer with all the required accreditations. I enjoyed learning details about solar electric generation immensely ... and blogged about the classes while going through 6 week course.

Well, after several months of staying in touch with the owners of Renewable Power Systems, they asked me to become webmaster of their small site. I was more than happy to help them roll out a new version of the site. We are also talking about ways to improve the content and experience on the site and I look forward to what the future may bring. Here's a link to the new RPS site: Albany solar power

Getting American residences installed with solar panels and producing electricity is going to take a ton of work. Not only do local and federal governments need to wake up and start to subsidize solar in order to bring cost down, but lots of small grassroots businesses will be scrambling to eke out a living (the margins aren't great) while meeting significantly rising demand.

It's quite a challenge, but a fun one with real results at the end of the rainbow. I'm stoked to be contributing - albeit in a very small manner - to the Albany-area solar energy movement.
