Technology has brought us to many new levels of creation, habitation, and sustainability. As creatures in need of comfort we must seek that balance of equality with all beings. As we live within our environment, it gives us a plentiful multitude of comforts on many levels. The relationship of all beings within nature, shows that our works, gratitude, appreciation, and respect will determine our fate....

Leading the way towards balanced habitation are our own Solar Electric Technologies. Photovoltaics are nine times more efficient than any other electrical generation source when used in distributed generation, from manufacture through installation, as calculated in a study at NREL in the 1990's. And after manufacturing an individual photovoltaic panel there are no emissions as a byproduct. Photovoltaic panels give and give... for a few decades. In fact, the energy that is put into manufacturing photovoltaic panels are completely recovered in three to five years. This is really spectacular when you look at other forms of "embodied energy" and quantify their energy to the energy returned.

The materials used in photovoltaic panels are not radioactive, do not off-gas, are 80% recyclable at end of use, and require minimal mining. To put this main resource that is used in PV into perspective, one ton of silicon will produce the same amount of power as 500,000 lbs. of coal.

Photovoltaic systems today have overcome a number of hurdles to become completely safe, reliable, and of proven value. Every testing, licensing, and regulatory agency have given the PV industry the legitimacy of providing cost effective power for any level of use. And today, with many subsidiaries, coalitions, and programs the industry of solar electric is reaching people in need, as a whole. The investment of solar electric power will show in time to be an enrichment of life in general.
