The sun's radiance is responsible for about 1000 watts of energy for every square meter of surface exposed to its radiant energy. Have you ever walked past a brick wall on a cool spring evening only to notice that the wall was very warm? You can feel the heat radiating off of the wall very easily. This is the effect of what is known as the "Solar Constant". Rest assured this energy is free, easily harvested, and available for at least the next 500,000 years. We could say that "We are into solar because it is good for the environment" or "We're part of the solution to climate crisis" or "We want to save the planet for our children". While those things are true, we'd rather state the obvious: "Free energy just makes sense. It's getting to the Earth anyway, why not use it?"
