Community Solar Projects (web site)

Web site
This website provides
and overview of several buildings around the state using solar
panels to produce electricity. Each location has a description
of the unit used to produce the energy and also output details
on a 24 hour basis. It is relatively easy to find a location
near you and monitor the kilowatt hour produced during any day.
In Wisconsin, we see some great contrasts depending on weather
conditions. The site also includes some good information on
GreenMax homes. |
