Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy ProgramsSolar TechnologyThe promise of limitless and inexpensive energy from the sun has been with us for as long as most of us can remember. Unfortunately, while significant research and development has taken place, and progress has been made, the reality of solar energy in many ways has not lived up to the promise. There is no question, however, that with sufficient research and development funding and a national commitment towards clean, renewable solar applications, this huge energy resource can still be realized. Solar technology simply makes use of sunlight to generate electricity, provide hot water, or heat, cool and light buildings. In North Dakota and elsewhere, the major applications are photovoltaic electricity generation, passive solar design and daylighting, and solar thermal and hot water heat. Below is a brief listing of solar activities supported by the ND Dept. of Commerce/Division of Community Services (more detail on these and other activities will be provided in the coming months):
