Clean? How are they manufactured?
Affordable? Why don’t we all have them?
Placed above the clouds? Hmmmm…..would this increase the cost? Does it get dark above the clouds at night?

Keep thinking!

Check your facts, Mr. 357. Listen to "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. Especially the very end.

Bertrand Piccard, the man behind the Solar Impulse idea, described the flight as a “historic moment”, and stressed its symbolic importance for flight using renewable energy.

Air traffic controllers in Brussels said bring the plane in to land was a “unique challenge.” The plane behaved “like a pedestrian on the motorway round Brussels”. Since it is so light and sensitive to turbulence, it had to keep three times the normal distance from other planes.

The pilot André Borschberg was reported to be “tired” after the flight.

The plane left Swiss air space at about 10.30, and flew for six hours over France, before reaching Luxembourg. It entered Belgian air space at about 17.30.

From Brussels, it will attempt to fly to Paris le Bourget airport in France where it will be shown at the Paris International Airshow in June.

Last July Solar Impulse made aviation history by flying through the night on solar power alone.

These sites can also give you other helpful tips and information about getting solar panel components for extremely cheap, or even free.

One of the ways to find cheap solar panels, or sometimes free panels is to road construction companies that use solar panels to power lights for their job sites.

Sometimes these panels get damaged from rocks hitting them. While most of the panel is still good, companies often just buy new systems, throwing the damaged ones away. You can get these damaged panels very inexpensively, or even free.

While you may not be able to use the panel itself, it can be carefully broken down and the individual cells that are not damaged can be used in your own panels.

There is another way to get cheap solar panels as well. Big businesses and corporations often use solar arrays to power their commercial buildings. Because new panels come out every few years or so, these companies often upgrade on a regular basis.

The ‘old’ panels are often given away through programs for those individuals who want to change over to solar power. While they may be ‘old’ and out dated for the business, to you the regular person, these panels are still quite efficient, and can last for residential purposes many decades.

The internet also offers many other ways to get cheap solar panels. There are auction websites like eBay that sell solar panels, battery storage, inverters, and many other components to the highest bidder.

If you are building your own panels, you can also buy the photovoltaic cells here too. While it is important that you get these components for you solar power needs, you don’t always have to pay retail to do it.

You just have to be patient, do a little research, and look around for the highest quality components for the most reasonable prices.

While there are many different DIY websites, you want to find one that walks you through the process step-by-step, and provides the information to find your components.
