What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” — Thomas Edison
“Rising energy bills, climate concern, fears about energy security, and improved technology are all increasing demand for renewable power. Solar power is environmentally friendly, available everywhere, and versatile. It is also, currently, the most expensive form of renewable energy–but costs are coming down and the energy source itself is free.” — Isabel Thomas
“It’s not that utilities oppose solar power, per se–many are investing in large-scale solar projects, but many utilities are opposed to customers generating their own electricity and selling it to the grid. Think of APS like a grocer who doesn’t want home gardeners selling vegetables in the town square–except this grocer enjoys a government-sanctioned monopoly.” — Jeremy Deaton
“Needless to say, the implications of cheap solar power would be truly staggering, revolutionizing virtually every aspect of life and geopolitics. Potentially dangerous nuclear power would become obsolete; dirty energy sources like coal and oil would be a thing of the past; and the world would no longer have to kowtow to corrupt governments that just happen to be resource-rich.” — Max Miller
“After many years of environmental campaigns against the burning of fossil fuels and utilizing nuclear energy to power our homes, the consensus is finally coming through that alternative energy is the way of the future. Of all the available methods for home and business owners alike, solar energy has come out on top of being the most resourceful, effective, and financially advantageous.” — Daniel Matthews
“Solar power is actually a bargain with the subsidies that are now available. The installed cost of solar has gone down 95 percent since 1970, and is expected to go down even more with massive deployment and thin-film technology in the near future. And who can put a cost on the health benefits of cleaner air and the environmental benefits of stopping or at least slowing global warming.” — David Freeman
“While at least 20 states still burn fossil fuels for their electrical grid, solar energy is on the rise across the country. This is not only because of the newer understanding of why alternative energy is so important for the environment, but because ease of installation and overall cost has become more user-friendly; installing panels on your rooftop is no longer reserved for the wealthy or the corporate franchises.” — Daniel Matthews
“Solar power is no longer the “pipe dream of environmentalists,” as much as the utility companies would like to have us believe it. While there are still two billion people in the world without access to electricity (and another billion who have it less than 10 hours per day), there are now 500,000 homes worldwide (mostly in Third World villages) powered by photovoltaics. They know something the utilities don’t–that power from the sun is the best power you can get.” — John Schaeffer
“So why do utilities try to stop their customers from financing local solar generation? Because, as the electric utility thinktank, Edison Electric Institute, warned back in 2013, solar power generates the most in mid-afternoon, when utilities traditionally charge the most, which means solar power is a disruptive challenge such as utilities have never faced before, and if they don’t get ahead of it they may go the way of AT&T Long Lines when the internet exploded.” — John S. Quarterman
“At the University of Michigan a team of experts has come up with a solar cell concept — using an ancient Japanese craft — that they say can track the sun in a highly effective way. Using kirigami — a type of Japanese paper art similar to origami — the team, which includes engineers and an artist, have developed what the university describes as, “an array of small solar cells that can tilt within a larger panel.” It is this ability to tilt that enables the cells to follow the sun’s rays.” — Anmar Frangoul
“Another advantage of solar energy is its safety. An enormous amount of time, money, and energy is put into keeping fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants safe. An oil spill can devastate the surrounding environment. Coal mine accidents often cause death or injury. The security companies and police SWAT teams that protect nuclear power plants must be alert to guard against terrorism. By contrast, solar energy is safe from terrorist attacks. There is nothing in a solar plant that could devastate the environment. A breakdown in a solar energy plant might mean a broken mirror. A breakdown in a nuclear plant could mean a major disaster.” — Jim Ollhoff
“On the Earth’s surface, solar power is also handicapped because it is intermittent. A 1000-megawatt coal, gas, or nuclear power station needs only a few acres (or hectares) of land and operates day and night. A 1000-megawatt solar power station occupies square miles (or square kilometers) and works only in the daytime. Even so, the dream of producing electric power from sunlight on a massive scale won’t die. Solar cells have been used to power satellites and space probes for decades. Someday, they may help to power a moon base. Unlike the situation on Earth, sunlight shines constantly in space, and the idea of deploying enormous solar cell arrays in near-Earth orbit and sending the electric power they generate to Earth using microwave transmitters was suggested more than 40 years ago by the Czech-American scientist and engineer Peter Glaser.” — Franklin Hadley Cocks
“Solar power is a big idea, whose time has come. And, like the space program, solar is an idea that can shape our nation in significant and positive ways. In the coming months, in the coming years, we will face critical decisions on how to address climate change, reduce our dependence on foreign energy, and boost our economic competitiveness. The beauty of solar power is that it offers an elegant solution to all three of these challenges. Imagine what it would be like if every time that it rained it rained oil, big black drops falling from the sky. Don’t you think that we would find some way to run around with a big bucket and collect all of that energy that was falling from the sky? I know this sounds like an absurd picture, but the reality is that what we have outside today is something very comparable to that. Literally, we have useful energy pouring out of the sky, and nowhere does it rain sunshine with greater intensity and consistency than in the American southwest.” — Gabrielle Giffords

“I know coal is dirty, but that’s all we got. So as much as I’d love to have clean energy – solar panels everywhere – right now, all we have is coal. The people I love, and the people that I grew up with, that’s their livelihood, and I don’t want to see them starve.” — Richard Ojeda
“It’s encouraging to know that you’re doing your fair share to mitigate global warming. It’s comforting to know your future is more secure. And let’s face it: Solar power is cool. When you put panels on your roof, people notice, and they’ll be nicer to you. Well, maybe …” — Rik Degunther
“Sunlight and wind are inherently unreliable and energy-dilute. As such, adding solar panels and wind turbines to the grid in large quantities increases the cost of generating electricity, locks in fossil fuels, and increases the environmental footprint of energy production.” — Michael Shellenberger
“I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world’s energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.” — Bill Nye
“America is home to the best researchers, advanced manufacturers, and entrepreneurs in the world. There is no reason we cannot lead the planet in manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines, engineering the smart energy grid, and inspiring the next great companies that will be the titans of a new green energy economy.” — Brad Schneider
“Solar panels are coming down dramatically in cost per watt. And as a result of that, the total amount of solar energy is growing, not linearly, but exponentially. It’s doubling every 2 years and has been for 20 years. And again, it’s a very smooth curve. There’s all these arguments, subsidies and political battles and companies going bankrupt, they’re raising billions of dollars, but behind all that chaos is this very smooth progression.” — Ray Kurzweil
