Solar power refers to useful electrical energy extracted from sunlight.
Solar power is generally considered to be "Green", renewable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
Achieving economies of scale
There is a need to increase demand for photovoltaics such that they can compete with conventional electricity production methods. One innovative idea is to harness the green purchasing power of academic institutions. This has been shown to be potentially quite influential in catalyzing a positive spiral-effect in renewables globally[1].
