Imagine learning in an environment that’s…
…giving its students a relevant, holistic, green education in one of the most amazing environments on the planet (along with being completely off of the power grid!)
That’s exactly what John Hardy, and his wife, Cynthia envisioned a few short years ago as they made this dream a reality in Bali, Indonesia…
Wow! I stumbled upon this video today…
…and it really sums up how fossil fuels have powered human growth and ingenuity for centuries — all in 5 short minutes!
Now that we’re reaching the end of cheap and abundant oil and coal supplies, we’re in for an exciting ride. While there’s a real risk that we’ll fall off a cliff, there’s still time to control our transition to a post-carbon future.
This amazing animated short movie is written and narrated by Richard Heinberg, author of many related books.

Recently, Dominic Zito, our Sales Manager, was interviewed…
…by ABC-7 about high-level energy officials from the Department of Energy coming to the Suncoast to meet with local officials talking about energy programs.
Including those that may bring green jobs to the area!
In the interview, Dominick said “We should absolutely be the front runners in solar energy. The more installations I have, the more of my employees I have on the road working. Hopefully down the line hiring more sales staff and technicians.”

Here’s an interesting online article from TechCrunch.com’s Green Tech section about…
…energy savings, and really understanding what’s effective.
Wow, I just saw this movie…
…and I highly recommend it!
Fuel was released on June 22, 2010 on DVD and is an in-depth personal journey of Josh Tickell (filmmaker & eco-evangelist) who spent 11 years making it!
Wow, I saw this on the BBC web site, and thought I’d share it…
This BBC article discusses how the not only this initiative will provide jobs, but it will provide energy from the sun to power over 70,000 homes WHILE cutting carbon dioxide emissions.
Good news!

Some use the terms power and energy interchangeably…
Special Thanks to Jason Szumlanski, our Operations Manager, for this blog post!
However, these terms represent very different, but related concepts.
EarthPolicy.org recently posted an article about “Offshore Wind, NOT Offshore Oil”…
…and I thought based on our previous posts “Buying Eight Track Tapes in an iPad World”, this would be a great follow-up for you to read.
If you’re really looking to tap the power of the sun, while…
…saving a LOT of money on your electric bill, then you’ll probably be very interested to hear about Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning .
Recently, John & Dominic, stopped by Fox4′s Morning Blend, and talked about our Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning product, be sure to watch the video above to learn more.
Our Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning system uses a roof mounted solar thermal collector panel to assist a high-efficiency compressor. By using the power of the sun, we can significantly reduce your electrical consumption.
Benefits:
Different than solar electric systems, which produce electricity, hybrid solar air conditioning systems use evacuated tubes to heat a transfer fluid in the solar collector. This fluid superheats an environmentally friendly refrigerant to make the cooling process more efficient. The hybrid solar air conditioner reduces the amount of electricity required to cool your home.
Learn more about How Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning Works, or give us a call at (239) 574-1500.
Currently, our Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning product is available in most of Southwest Florida. Call us at (239) 574-1500 if you want to assure it’s available for you.

While offshore oil and gas drilling is the slowest, dirtiest, most hazardous and…
Buying Eight Track Tapes in an IPad World” is a special blog series written by Melissa Upton, of our team here at Fafco Solar, reviewing four arguments against drilling for oil off of the coast of Florida.
…expensive way to produce energy – investing in clean energy would create four times as many jobs as investing the same amount of money in oil.
