Anthony
Stoppiello, Passive Solar Architect & Former Solar
Oregon President
Of his many roles in the green movement, Anthony Stoppiello has not played the part of a silent observer. As a passive solar architect for 40 years working throughout Oregon, Washington, California, and Wyoming, Anthony was one of the founders of the original organization of what is Solar Oregon today, became president of Solar Oregon in the 1990s, and now teaches an accredited 13-week class at a community college on green building. Anthony has made his mark on many Northwest roofs. Here he shares his side of the solar story, including what he sees has triggered the activity in the Northwest solar field and his answer for whether the Northwest states are sunny enough for solar. >>Click to continue

| Solar Energy: More than Just
Electricity
By Jean P. Murray - Solar Oregon Board Member
Most of us, when we imagine solar energy supplying all our energy
needs, probably think of electricity as the energy carrier. But that is
certainly not the only (and may not be the best) way to use the in-expressively enormous quantity of energy[1] that arrives daily from
the sun. For starters, consider the quality and uniqueness of solar
energy. The sunlight that reaches earth comes from an energy source
whose thermodynamic temperature is 5000-6000˚C.
|
| When it arrives, that energy
has spread out, but it can still be "reconstituted"
to provide very high temperatures to power energy conversion
processes. How high is high?
