Solar Power- Gateway Drug to Energy Efficiency

A lot has been written about the so-called "Prius Effect"– the fact that the Prius helps save gas not just because of its hybrid technology, but also because people drive much more efficiently when they see their performance on the display screen in the car. The same idea inspired energy monitors inside the home, so you can easily track your energy use and try to beat your own records (or upload your data and compete with friends online). Solar panels, as it turns out, seem to inspire energy efficiency as well. On a recent NPR show, Sungevity founder Danny Kennedy summed it up well: solar power, he said, is "the gateway drug to energy efficiency."
