Why Solar?

Global awareness of the environmental damage caused by man in conjunction with soaring oil prices have forced the industrial world to search for alternative energy sources with lower environmental impact.  Over the past decades wind generated energy and solar cells have been making their presence known in the world market as environmentally friendly energy sources.  Growing demand has pushed solar cell technology to improve effiency, manufacturing processes and product cost to provide an economically feasible return on investment.

Today there are many applications consumers can utiltize to reduce environmental impact. Homeowners can apply solar arrays to reduce or eliminate monthy electric bills. Arrays are being installed on commercial rooftops and new power fields are coming on line every day.

Industrial designers are integrating photovoltaics in parking lots, awnings, glass roofs and sculture.

The latest developments have focused on thin film technology. Thin film promises lighter, cheaper and easier to manufacture. Long Beach Solar is developing technologies to enhance thin film efficiency and manufacturing processes.
