Self-Cleaning Technology from Mars Can Keep Terrestrial Solar Panels Dust Free

When installing solar panels, the only maintenance required is cleaning them about once a year or so. It is important that the panels are clean because they work better this way. For residential systems, this process is fairly easy, you can either do it yourself, although it is not recommended, or hire a professional to do it. However, for bigger size systems, which stretch as much as 50 football fields, this task can be pretty daunting. Well, scientists have figured out a way to solve this problem with self-dusting solar panels.

In the United States, most people install solar to either save money, do something good for the environment, or both. But, in many parts of the world, especially in developing and third world countries, people are not as fortunate to have easy access to electricity, so, many people just do not have it. But solar energy is combating this problem, so that people all around the world can have access to electricity, from the oldest source of power, the sun.

Glendale Water & Power (GWP) suspends incentives until July 2011

Glendale Water & Power has suspended their funds/incentives for solar projects until July 2011 due to having limited funds and being understaffed.

Glendale has one of the highest rebates in Los Angeles, at $3.46/watt. Any applications that were submitted before this decision will still be honored, any submitted after will not be approved.

This just shows how fast the incentives are running out! Now is the time to invest in Solar!
