In short: They are trying to develop a pavement that is made of solar panels, where you can drive on and which produces energy at the same time. Amazing idea! Would love to see this become reality.
Solar Hot Water is probably the most effective thing you can do to save money and reduce your energy footprint.
The people from Solar Water TV created a nice ebook about how much this really affects you.
Definitely worth a read! I put the document up for download here:

Apollo1 used for Photo Voltaic
Interesting things happen in Silicon Valley! Green-tech start-up SunReports Inc. came out of stealth and hit the news right away:
Cleantech Group:
“SunReports reveals new solar monitoring technology”
This baby got legs. They offer monitoring for residential photo voltaic systems and support multiple inverters, solar thermal and pool heating – at a very competitive price and with one single device.
SunReports’ Apollo1 device is installed in few simple steps and instantly starts sending monitoring data to their data center. You then get meaningful charts of the performance of your solar system, alerts when something needs attention and a lot of feedback you can use to improve and tune your investment.
If you own a solar system or a pool, you need to check them out!
