Will Solar Panels Make My Roof Leak?

Mobile Phone- Novelty or Necessity? How About Your Energy?
IN 1973, New Yorkers stopped and stared in amazement as Dr. Martin Cooper demonstrated the first cellular telephone call, right on the city street. The invention and combination of the radio, battery, and micro-processor had launched the mobile phone era. It takes a lot to make a New Yorker stop and stare. Mobile phones don’t make people stop and stare anymore. They do make people crash their cars, but that’s a different crusade. Mobile phone technology is no less impressive today than it ever was. Moreover, it has become indispensable, despite the fact that we take it almost entirely for granted. [...]
Nights are Getting Colder. Should I Get a Space Heater?
“They’re inexpensive and convenient!” Actually, NOT. Space heaters use an average of 1500 watts of energy. So? So if you run one space heater for a day at .23¢ per kilowatt-hour (PG&E’s going rate), you’ll spend $3 per day. Not bad? That’s $90 per month…from now on...that that little gizmo adds to your already hefty monthly bill. Most of us have rented a car on vacation, but they're not typically our main means of getting around. They’re situational, temporary, and only justifiable when the convenience outweighs the cost. Comparing a central heating system with space heaters is similar. The data [...]
Do Smoke & Ash Interfere with Solar Output?
California burned badly this year. An estimated 6700 fires scorched more than 1.5 million acres during 2018. That’s the size of Delaware! The homes, health, and welfare of hundreds of thousands of people were, and are, adversely affected. Somewhere down the list of priorities emerging from these disasters is the question: Does the gunk in the air impair solar production? The answer is: Somewhat. Solar thrives in bright sunshine…like Californians. Then again, solar systems, like residents of Half Moon Bay & Pebble Beach, also get along great with fog and clouds. While it’s true solar energy peaks on a clear [...]
