At the Los Angeles Permaculture meeting this week, I caught up with Ben Clayton of Watts Up  America. 

He told me about their mission to bring solar PV electricity to low-income families, both here in California and in places of need around the world. 

More key points from the PV Summit:

Renewable energy must be integrated into the building process.  It should be part of every new residential, commercial and government building.  Solar PV can be integrated into building materials, so it doesn’t have that kludged, stuck-on look.  When the cost of a solar PV system is amortized into a new home’s 30-year mortgage, the additional cost becomes negligible.
