Embracing the power of renewable energy, for a better tomorrow
For years, I flirted with the idea of installing solar panels on my house. You know how it goes—you see those gleaming rooftops around the neighborhood, you nod approvingly, and then promptly forget about it because it feels like a massive hassle or an expensive gamble. But last year, I decided to cut through the…
