Inside the White House: Solar Panels (VIDEO)

Go inside the White House and learn about the installation of solar panels on the roof of the residence.

Solar power is a key component of the world’s energy future. As Cyrus Wadia, White House Office of Science and Technology, notes: “Every four minutes some small business or homeowner is going solar. In a sense, we are going through a transition here and the industry is going through a transition that we’re just seeing the beginning of.”

According to Mihn Le, Director, Solar Tech Office at the Department of Energy, “The President is basically doing what Americans all across the nation are doing right now: they’re making the conscious choice to look for new energy, like solar, as their cheaper cleaner preferred energy source for their homes and families.”

As the White House reports in the video, the solar panel array installed on the roof of the White House is comparable in size to that of the average home.
