I love solar power. I think it is one of the easiest ways anyone can assist in renewable energy. As a new home owner I have been looking up how I can get my house converted to solar energy. The problem is that sometime the sun doesn't hit the roof at the exact angle to make the solar panels most effecient. A company called cool earth,
http://www.coolearthsolar.com/ , came up with an interesting solution:

On another note some newer companies are offering solar shingles!!! these solar panels look and act just like normal shingles, but also power your house. Check them out:
