In my never ending quest to educate the world about solar and affordable solar financing these days, this is a great intro video to solar basics. It explains how solar works and all of the components in a few minutes. Graphics are very clear.

Notice the "thin film" roofing tiles that look like regular tiles. Solar doesn't have to be panels (but it's less expensive that way). A picture is worth a thousand words and moving pictures are worth at least 10,000 words, give or take. Enjoy.
