Sustainability: More Than An Industry Buzzword

Photovoltaic (PV) energy, also referred to as solar energy, is a clean, renewable source of power which converts sunlight into thermal or electrical energy. The electrical energy produced through PV sources is then converted into electricity. There are three major types of solar energy: passive, active, and thermal solar. Passive solar energy systems are built directly into a building’s blueprints (walls, windows, skylights) to improve heating and lighting efficiency [...]
