Also, Because these panels cover almost their entire roof, and capturing all of the Sun's light; They'll see savings in Heating costs, too. There's a small movement for the ultimate in 'green' buildings. That is, putting dirt on top of a building. Yeah, I typed that right. I forget the exact numbers but the jist is, that in 90 degree Farenheight weather, the tops of buildings (with their tar, and rubber, and steel) can reach temps of 150 degrees! Putting Dirt will keep the temperatures at 80.

I'm for it. There's no chance of outsourcing...what are they gonna do? Import dirt?!?!?
