As new technologies emerge in the clean energy sector, their ability to gain a sustained foothold depends on the decisions of many different market actors, who are greatly influenced by their access to timely, actionable information.
How do manufacturers, dealers and installers identify trends in demand or competitor activities?
Did you know that in 2014 San Diego County had among the lowest bicycle commuting rates in California? Or that in 2015, we threw away the most trash compared to other counties, and we experienced almost twice as many hours of delay per driver than we did just four years ago?
With the current on-going drought conditions in California, water efficiency is a high priority – both to reduce water use and curtail energy costs.
The proliferation of rooftop solar energy systems on San Diego County homes in the past decade has been a bonanza for the solar industry, but as a growing number of these homes come on the local real estate market, it presents new challenges and opportu
The City of Oakland’s reputation as a progressive city working toward a clean energy future would have been seriously compromised if plans to build a coal export facility on the old Oakland Army Base had gone forward (see: Coal Exports from Oakland's Ports, Bad Business).
Have you ever considered what impacts your electronics have on the environment after they stop working or become obsolete? Not many people do, but in short, it’s quite large. In 2010 alone, Americans generated about 384 million units of e-waste such as computers, televisions and cellphones, but only 19% of that was recycled.
The controversy continues over efforts to either facilitate coal exports through San Francisco Bay or block them entirely.
San Diego real estate agents learned tips for selling homes with solar energy systems during a seminar held at CSE on Monday, June 13.
With solar energy use increasing worldwide and the U.S. reaching 1 million solar systems nationwide this month, it’s hard to to keep up on the latest industry news and innovations. That’s why we are turning on the Solar Tech Spotlight to share with you the newest and most exciting developments.
