The project, which should be fully functional by next year, is expected to work below the cost of generating energy from other sources. The signing of the real estate outgrant gives Georgia Power 258 acres of land to build this 42 megawatt solar array. <a title=\"New Solar Energy Project At US Submarine Base Will Be At Or Below Cost Of Other Power Sources\" href=\"https:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2015\/07\/21\/new-solar-energy-project-us-submarine-base-will-cost-power-sources\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>US Solar Electricity Production 50% Higher Than Previously Thought<\/h3>\n<p>Energy agencies are underestimating the amount of power produced by solar energy. The reason for this higher than expected solar production is because official sources that calculate the percentage solar energy used is missing a very significant part of solar generation. In an effort to provide a more complete estimate of solar generation in the U.S., <a title=\"Solar Energy Industries Association\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seia.org\" rel=\"nofollow\">SEIA<\/a> and <a title=\"kWh Analytics\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kwhanalytics.com\">kWh Analytics<\/a> teamed up to complete an analysis of U.S. solar production, including previously uncounted generation from behind-the-meter systems. <a title=\"US Solar Electricity Production 50% Higher Than Previously Thought\" href=\"http:\/\/www.greentechmedia.com\/articles\/read\/us-solar-electricity-production-50-higher-than-previously-thought\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more<\/a> about what\u2019s missing from the solar generation picture.<\/p>\n<h3>$8B-$16B Investment Could Double Solar Market<\/h3>\n<p>As it stands now nearly half of all homes and businesses are unfit for solar installation. This does not mean they have to sit out the solar revolution however. A new concept called \u201ccommunity solar\u201d can expand solar energy to 100 percent of all homes and business in the USA. This allows for homes and businesses that aren\u2019t equipped with solar capacities to take advantage of solar energy through a community solar garden. <a title=\"$8B-$16B Investment Could Double Solar Market\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffmcmahon\/2015\/06\/21\/8-16-billion-could-double-solar-market-by-2020\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more<\/a> about Community Solar<\/p>\n<h3>Last Year\u2019s Country Clubs Could Be Next Year\u2019s Renewable Energy Hubs<\/h3>\n<p>After a real estate boom in the 90\u2019s and 2000\u2019s many golf courses began popping up in Japan. Now some of these courses are abandoned as their supply exceeded the demand. After being devastated by the Fukushima Nuclear Reactor\u2019s explosion, Japan is calling for double the amount of renewable energy by 2030. The conversion of abandoned golf course to solar energy plants is a great use of these large empty courses. This strategy can be adopted by other countries, such as the US, in fact plans are already under way to convert these golf courses in New York and Minnesota. <a title=\"Last Year\u2019s Country Clubs Could Be Next Year\u2019s Renewable Energy Hubs\" href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/last-years-country-clubs-could-next-years-renewable-204446463.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>If voted President, Hillary Clinton Vows to Install 500 Million Solar Panels<\/h3>\n<p>Clinton is making climate change a key component of her platform. In a speech at an Iowa rally she stated that \u201cI want more wind, more solar, more advanced biofuels, more energy efficiency,\u201d She also added that \u201cpeople who argue against this are just not paying attention.\u201d She wants every US home to be powered by clean, renewable energy before her potential presidency ends. These lofty goals are important to have to keep our country\u2019s renewable energy goals trending in the right direction. Clinton\u2019s campaign for solar will reportedly increase solar output by 700% by the end of the decade. Hopefully the other candidate for president will adopt this unabashed support for solar energy. <a title=\"Hillary Clinton Pledges to Install 500 Million Solar Panels if Voted President\" href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/3972710\/hillary-clinton-presidential-election-climate-change\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more<\/a> about Hillary Clinton\u2019s lofty energy goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Solar Energy and PV Design Services with Lexodant Solar Technology<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Lexodant Solar Technology, Solar Engineering\" href=\"services\/solar-engineering\/\">Lexodant Solar Technology<\/a> is at the forefront of the escalating solar industry, and is considered a leading consulting firm in the renewable energy field providing photovoltaic design and engineering services.
