Now it has been about a year. Has the company installed the solar system and is it working? Follow up to stories will show the success of "green energy" to the business community more than "fanfare" at the announcement. Just my thoughts from my side. Lou Gage OK Sounds great.

As Bucky Fuller said "Small is Beautiful". It’s good to hear that small scale energy production is on the rise and will become a fairly sizable portion of U.S. energy production.

(The power plants that run on natural gas now could probably also burn hydrogen.) There aren't many areas where the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow.

Kevin it doesn't say that this company invented it or that it is new - but curiously, the owner, Mr. Koochekzadeh, does seems to have invented it while at his prior company. I found this info at http://www.solarpanelsplus.com/SPP-history/ it appears that their CEO's former company did in fact invent the technology, in 1979. Interesting, and like you said, there are many companies using this technology today. > Kevin A Says:
