The ancient Greeks told stories about harnessing the power of fire. Today, home batteries help me accomplish that on a daily basis.

Becoming responsible for our own water and energy was more than saving on utility bills. Here’s what motivated us, what we learned and how we made it happen.

The pros and cons of taking responsibility for your own energy and water aren’t what I expected before making the move to living an off-grid lifestyle.

While providing me 100% energy independence for my off-grid home, solar panels demystified the enigma of electricity for me and increased my understanding of the movements of the Earth itself.

Oceans cover most of the earth. Tides, waves and currents could provide steady, clean energy if we can harness them.

Living off the grid gave me a new perspective, fewer bills and increased independence. It also led to a deeper transformation and reckoning with some old inadequacies.

Community solar is growing quickly, but isn’t available everywhere. Find out if you can buy solar power without the solar panels.

Severe weather can cause a surge in energy use. In order to prevent power outages, here’s what you should do.

A solar lease and a power purchase agreement both put solar panels on your property with no upfront cost. The difference is in what you pay for each month.

In order to make your EV green-energy approved, you’ll need to charge it using a renewable energy source. Solar panels are one way to accomplish that.

Tesla’s Powerwall battery is a big household purchase, but it competes with other batteries on price and performance.

People use more energy during heat waves and winter storms. But high energy demand and compromised supply can lead to outages. Here’s what you can do to prevent them and be prepared.

Community solar is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the industry and the easiest to participate in, so long as it’s available where you are.

From purchase to power, a solar panel install can go fast and smooth or slow and dragged out. Here’s what to expect and what factors influence the timeline.

Two of the biggest players in the solar game face off, with industry-leading solar panels versus prices that almost can’t be beat.

The last supermoon of 2023 officially arrives Thursday and Friday. This one will help anyone in the Northern Hemisphere say goodbye to summer.

By some estimates, the asteroid could be more valuable than the entire world economy.
