  • Germany has produced more solar power than the US because they recently installed over 4,300 MegaWatts of  solar power bringing them to 28,000 MW
  • The government has mandated incentives that they used for this.

  • I could save money energy wise mostly in lighting my house and the vast amount of things we have plugged in we can unplug them.

  • Solar energy might be a bit of a problem considering trees block most of my house so it may be a tad bit complicated.

  • I think the US will be more accepting of it later on but right now people don't really understand or look to much into it because green products are more expensive. I think more people would be more willing to integrate is for the cost to be less expensive.
  • If boats could some how have solar panels on them then store the energy I believe it would help in that area of solar production, Considering that the ocean is constantly getting sun without much blockage
