Maine reflects solar industry's rapid growth
Kennebec Journal
Share
On the lawn behind the Solar Market offices here, 144 solar-electric panels are mounted across a 100-foot long run of wooden racks. No surprise, really, to see a photovoltaic system outside a company that sells the hardware. But this set-up is way larger than needed to run lights and appliances. And therein lies the surprise: These solar panels generated enough power last
winter to supply nearly 70 percent of the building's warmth - with electric heat.

There is a more positive economic and political case to be made that,
instead of accepting a slow decline, we put our shoulder to the wheel and build on the apparently hidden but obvious strengths of U.S. manufacturing.
