Solar energy converts sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells or solar thermal systems. Its main advantages include zero emissions and solar costs are now well below those of new coal and natural gas plants.
Does anyone know of a eastern tree, suitable for zone 6, that has an interesting winter silhouette? I like the look of a black gum a few streets over, but I want to make sure that I do't over-look any other, possibly nicer ones, as this will probably be the last tree I ever plant. Thanks.

Learn the basics of solar energy technology including solar radiation, photovoltaics (PV), concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP), grid integration, and soft costs.
Solar energy is radiation from the Sun that is capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity. The total amount of solar energy incident on Earth is vastly in excess of the world’s energy requirements and could satisfy all future energy needs if suitably harnessed.
