The sun produce trillion and trillions of James Watt every second — who would n’t want to harness some of that muscularity for a drastically reduced utility nib ? But figuring out what the cost / welfare of installing ( or if you an advantageous locations ) ask a fate of work . Now , Google just need your address .
Project Sunroof is a new Google project that wants to make the intimidating task of sail solar gore initiation simpler by provide fiscal advice and stats on what solar energy could do for a particular user .
To tally how much you ’ll keep open , the project uses information from Google Maps , figure how much sunlight a particular cap invite throughout the day , as well as numbers on useable sunlight hr per year and how much space you have for solar gore . Project Sunroof even provides practical info by breaking down funding plans and suggesting nearby company for induction .
tip and solar energy are the fast growing energy informant , according to a report released by the U.S. Energy Information Administrationlast March . President Obama also declare a Modern plan in former July toinstall solar control board on low - income householdsin an crusade to power poor neighborhoods with technology that ’s otherwise financially unobtainable .

So solar has an underdog battle ahead of it , and mightily now the project only extend to San Francisco , Fresno , and Boston , but Google has intentions for the entire country ( and maybe the macrocosm ) . Either room table service like Project Sunroof may aid lower that barrier for ledger entry — even if that barrier is a degree of laziness .
