The Price Per Watt Will Drive Solar Main Stream

A Short Science Lesson for Journalists – Watts, Kilowatts, Megawatts, Kilowatt Hours.

Electric Meter Showing Power in kW and Energy in kWhWith us having to research so much information about solar and other renewable energy we came across an enormous number of articles in which no respect is given to the units of measure in which electric power and energy are being measured. In actual fact when the correct units of measure are not used the statements do not make any sense.

What do we mean? Much too often watt hour (Wh) and the derivatives kilowatts hour (kWh) and megawatts hour (MWh) – as a measure of produced energy – are used wrongly instead of watt (W) or it’s derivatives kilowatt (kW) and megawatt (MW) and the other way around.

Updated Resources Page and Info on UL Listing for Solar

We recently updated the Resources page. The SolarByTheWatt.com (Solar by the Watt) Resources page focuses on the most valuable information resources in the solar industry as opposed to the Renewable Energy Directory page which aims to be a more complete and extensive selection of a large list of Internet links to web sites of association, government agencies, commercial companies, news sites etc.
