This page contains information on how to harness the sun's energy in a variety of ways. You'll also find pet projects that have grown around our solar powered projects, such as communications systems and accessories. Many of these articles have been published in alternative energy magazines. The Ongoing Projects section touches upon projects in the pipeline.
