The purpose in developing this website is to make it easy to promote and learn about solar energy, one of our renewable energy sources. The quarterly e-newsletter will be free, with no advertisements. The revenues will be earned from business arrangements with the �Featured Solar Products�, should a consumer choose to purchase one of the selected products.

In answer to the question, �what can one person do about the energy problems?� I will start with the simple sunflower and answer �Follow the Power of the Sun�. While all plants are phototrophic, most sunflowers are heliotropic. This means the sunflower�s movements tract the direction of the sun. As the sun moves across the sky, the face of the sunflower gently orients itself towards the direction of the sunlight. The face will be eastward towards the morning sun and follows the overhead movement of the sun during the day, then returning east again. When the sunflower�s bud stage ends, the stem stiffens, and it will most likely have an eastward orientation.

Why does the face of the sunflower turn its direction towards the sunlight? The answer is so natural and obvious, to get the most light.  This simple and natural answer is helpful for us because if we too just follow the power of the sun as it moves through the sky, we too can utilize the sunlight.  A few examples of utilizing the energy of the sun are found in the website�s headings. I invite you to look and follow.
