Just thought this was funny... all these solar panels installed and no-one thought to remove the protective plastic film, which has now been shredded by the wind...

Solar energy can be produced in all kinds of extreme weather, from rainy areas to extremely warm places. High-efficiency solar panels convert direct and indirect sunlight into electricity, so they function even on cloudy days. A solar specialist will carefully calculate the amount of energy your system will produce so that you can see the prospective financial savings just before you make your mind up to go solar. If your area is susceptible to extreme weather conditions, examine the sustainability rating of the panels you’re considering for your residence. Zolt Energy panels are rated No. 1 in third-party durability testing, which indicates that they can stand up to some of the harshest environment conditions.

ELF Solar Powered Electric Vehicles From Organic Transit
We saw a guy washing this vehicle and I had to stop and ask about it.
It turns out that this bicycle is manufactured right there in Durham, NC.

Olney has it's claims as the "Home of the White Squirrels", but Solar Power too?
If you can't read this, here's what it says:
"In 1902, the first experimental Solar Power Plant was built in Olney, Illinois by H. E. Willsie and John Boyle, two American engineers. Their Solar Power Plant was based on an 1885 design developed by the French engineer Tellier. Between 1892 and 1908 Willsie and Boyle experimented with their low temperature Solar Plants that utilized 'hot boxes' to heat water. Their 'hot box' Solar Power Plant was patented in 1903. The results were published on May 13th 1909 in the issue of Engineering News."
Following this link describes their system, but oddly enough lists the "St. Louis Exposition" (which is the 1904 World's Fair) as their first installation. Hmmm...
