Solar power
Some Willow Glen residents find that solar power is one way to combat the state's energy crisis
|
Looking for a way to reduce your PG&E bill? A few Willow Glen residents may have a suggestion--go solar. And they don't mean blanket your roof with photovoltaic panels in order to power your television set. Passive solar design is a simple and renewable alternative to heating and cooling a building, rather than relying on nonrenewable energy sources, they say, and anyone can do it. All it takes is two easy steps: good insulation to keep warmth in and cold out, or vice versa; and a predominance of south-facing windows that allow sunlight to shine on a thermal mass, which in turn keeps a building warm in the winter.
