The solar industry is growing rapidly thanks to new financial incentives, rising energy costs, and the public desire to reduce global warming pollution. Onsite solar electric and solar thermal systems can supply a significant portion of an energy-efficient home’s energy needs, even in the Pacific Northwest. Many lessons were learned from 1980s-era solar installations, resulting in today’s high quality, high performance systems.
