Solar Power & Renewable Energy

Recently I have had to learn some things about solar for my job as some of our wireless internet access points have needed to be out of the range of power lines. Since I have started researching solar and wind power, I have become highly interested in it. I thought I would make a resource page of some of the things I have found while researching the internet that were helpfull and interesting.
