Two Week Plan
For the next two weeks I will be conducting research. This will be in the form of reading books, online articles, and visiting local organizations that deal with solar energy. I have a long list of online periodicals and websites that I can easily access. I will also visit the Public Library and Mann Library at Cornell.

Some local businesses that I plan to check out include Renovus and Significant Elements. Significant Elements sells materials that can be used to build the panel for the solar panel. Renovus actually builds and installs solar panels onto their clients' homes or businesses. Here would be a great place to ask for advice about my project. I also know that Eco Village has added a whole new array of solar panels, and I may go up there to ask a few questions. My project isn't to just build a solar panel but to learn as much as I can about solar energy and how to make it usable in a regular home.
