Solar Power for Remote Locations

Solar cells are very useful places where there are no reliable established power grids. Solar power is popular in marine and recreational vehicle applications and is widely used for rural properties in remote locations. Independent energy sources such as solar provide a much needed alternative to a politically and environmentally unstable energy environment that we see on a regular basis. The earthquake in Japan did much damage to a nuclear power plant and this type of disaster underlines the need for more manageable sources of energy. Many people are beginning to embrace ideas of energy alternatives and solar power can provide a much needed substitute for total grid tied reliance.
