Solar power is renewable, clean energy generated from the sun in thermal or electric form. The benefits of solar energy can include reduced electricity bills, environmental protection, remote power (off the grid), and increased property value.

Residential and commercial property owners can take advantage of the technology's benefits to design their buildings with solar power as well as a solar hot water system. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, consisting of silicon, a good conductor of electricity, are the most popular way to capture solar power.

Solar panels capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity, while devices called inverters convert the energy to power appliances and other devices. Residential and commercial users also can install batteries to store unused energy and a charge controller to control how the batteries are charged. A charge controller is used to manage the power entering the battery from the solar panel array. It prevents the batteries from being overcharged during the day and losing energy to the solar array at night.

Solar power installation comes in three categories, including utility-scale, which may span many acres of land and generate enough energy to power hundreds if not thousands of houses. Next is the commercial-scale installation, which can be used by companies with high energy requirements. Last, a residential-scale installation is for homeowners and usually powers just a single home.

Compared with many other low-carbon technologies, solar electricity offers a distinct advantage in that much of the United States receives plenty of sunlight. Wind, hydropower, and geothermal resources are not equally distributed as there are huge areas where these resources are insufficient or nonexistent.

The Solar Futures Study published by the Energy Department lays out some future paths for the United States grid, including business, and decarbonization, showing a massive shift to low-carbon and carbon-free energy sources. The study finds that decarbonization would necessitate 1,050-1,570 gigawatts of solar power to fulfill 44-45 percent of projected electricity demand in 2050.

One gigawatt of generating power is around 3.1 million solar panels or 364 large-scale wind turbines in comparison. The remainder would come mainly from a mix of various low- or zero-carbon sources, such as nuclear energy, wind, hydropower, biopower, and synthetic fuel-powered combustion turbines.

Based in Boise, Idaho, Steve Verschoor has led GTSP Global as head of sales since co-founding the solar power company in 2006. When he is not overseeing sales and business development at GTSP, Steve Verschoor volunteers with a local animal shelter. He and his family recently adopted a from the shelter.

Individuals or families who have made the decision to adopt a dog should begin by making a list of nearby shelters and rescue operations. Adoptive parties should focus on registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. That said, each and every organization should be carefully vetted for potential abuse or unethical breeding partners. Helpful online resources for locating reputable shelters include Adopt-a-Pet and PetFinder.

Prior to heading to a shelter, the entire household should prepare for the new arrival. This not only means closing off sections of the house that may pose a threat to a dog, but also discussing the decision with every member of the house and the many responsibilities the decision entails. These discussions can be complicated if there are small children, elderly adults, or other animals already in the home. It is advisable to discuss such scenarios with a veterinarian or animal trainer.

Additional research should be conducted as individuals start meeting individual dogs at the shelter. Animals must be assessed for their specific needs, such as exercise requirements, medical care, ability to function along with dogs and other animals, and so on. Research in this area can involve general breed research, but should also involve discussions with shelter staff about specific animals.

As the search is narrowed down, households can finalize their preparations. For instance, a newly adopted puppy will have different needs compared to an older dog, in the same way that a family will need to prepare the house differently for a chihuahua than for a Siberian husky.

Finally, individuals should take time to appreciate the long-term commitment they will be making to a dog following an adoption. All plans and preparation should be for years to come. If adopting a dog starts to feel like too great a responsibility, individuals can still support animal welfare and shelters in a number of ways, including working as volunteers and making charitable contributions.
