Reaching 40 percent efficiency helps further President Bush’s Solar America Initiative (SAI) goals, which aims to win nationwide acceptance of clean solar energy technologies by 2015. By then, it is intended that America will have enough solar energy systems installed to provide power to one to two million homes, at a cost of 5 to 10 cents per kilowatt/hour. We compare solar energy advantages & disadvantages, review the benefits of solar power, and evaluate all the ways you can use solar power, so that you will be ready to tackle the solar power projects in your home. Even though Florida is known as the Sunshine State we are not the leading state for solar energy. Solarus Energy Group has made a commitment to help America, and the state of Florida in Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties to achieve energy independence, by providing technology and products to convert one roof at a time to capturing solar energy for your home and business.

Given their manufacturing costs, modules of today’s cells incorporated in the power grid would produce electricity at a cost roughly 3 to 6 times higher than current prices, or 18-30 cents per kilowatt hour. To make solar economically competitive, engineers must find ways to improve the efficiency of the cells and to lower their manufacturing costs. However, solar energy would be expensive enough to put nations that decided to depend on it alone at a serious economic disadvantage compared to nations that were not constrained to rely on it. Their citizens would be poorer. When the sun is shining solar energy is being produced as it sends the heat radiating to the earth. You can find solar energy anywhere or anything that the sun can shine on.
