“I want solar… but which kind?”
That’s the first real question we hear from homeowners, property managers, and off-grid dreamers every day.
It’s easy to assume solar is one-size-fits-all — panels go on the roof, you get free electricity, right? Not quite.
There are three ...

The air in the downtown Denver hotel ballroom shimmered—not from heat, but from energy. Not the kind generated by panels or stored in batteries—but something rarer.
Anticipation.
A few rows from the back, Tolu adjusted the collar of his solar-startup hoodie and leaned forw...

It’s more than just glass.
It generates energy.
It responds to the sun.
It transforms the way buildings perform.
It’s Electrified Glass™ — and it’s changing how we think about building envelopes.
At Solar Evol, we’ve had a front-row seat to this tech’s evolution — and in t...

At first glance, it looked like an ordinary pane of glass.
Thin. Sleek. Set into the west-facing façade of a research lab in Albuquerque. But as the sun dropped lower on the horizon, something strange happened. The glass shimmered—not with reflection, but with function. Ins...
“When the lights go out, some wait. Others generate.”
That’s the motto of Captain OffGrid — a symbol (and mindset) for anyone who’s done waiting on unstable power lines, surprise blackouts, and rising utility bills.
Because when the grid stumbles (and it’s happening more often), Capta...
Then the blackouts.
Then the “voluntary conservation requests.”
Then the surge pricing, the rolling outages, and the “grid congestion fees.”
Welcome to The Age of Gridlock — where the electric grid isn’t just outdated, it’s outmatched. More devices. More EVs. More extremes. Same brittle in...
She’s not here to save the world with slogans.
She’s here to run the numbers, spot the energy leaks, and get buildings back in balance — one rooftop, boiler room, or window upgrade at a time.
We call her Lady Net Zero, not because she’s a myth or mascot, but because she represents the min...
How to Get Your Panels (and Your Power Bill) in Shape Before the Heat Hits
Is your solar system ready for 95-degree days, time-of-use pricing, and round-the-clock AC?
If it’s been a few seasons since your last check-in, now’s the time to make sure your setup is optimized for summer.

A solar system is only as good as the roof it’s attached to.
And yet, roofing is one of the most overlooked parts of a solar installation.
We’ve seen it all — from gorgeous new PV systems installed over failing shingles, to solar arrays that had to be removed after two years for an unexpect...
I’m standing in my driveway, feeling proud. I’ve done weeks of research, watched all the YouTube reviews, and even found what looks like a great deal on a 6kW solar system. The specs are solid. The brand is familiar. The price? A steal.
But something keeps bugging me. The rep I talked to c...
We’ve seen it more than once—someone buys a DIY solar kit thinking it’ll be plug-and-play. A few weekends later, they’ve got panels on the roof, wires running through the attic, and a nagging feeling that something might not be right. Months pass. A fire hazard gets flagged in a home inspection...
Because not everything that glows is gold.
We’re going to let you in on a hard truth:
🚨 Not all solar is created equal—and some of it is straight-up BS.
From “miracle panels” that supposedly generate power in total darkness to shady companies touting government programs that don’...
