Without continued investment in these fields, the world would lose the equivalent of Brazil and Norway’s combined production from the global oil balance each year. The average rate at which oil and gas fields’ output declines over time has significantly accelerated globally, largely due to higher reliance on shale and deep offshore resources, meaning that companies must work much harder than before just to maintain production at levels, according to a new IEA report. Grou...

Arizona has become one of the forerunning states in solar power usage. With the rising cost of electricity and the resulting higher energy bills, especially during the summer months when air conditioner and pool pump usage peaks, it makes sense that many Arizonans use one of nature’s commodities for their energy needs. Most homeowners convert to solar power because it is readily available, renewable and curbs dependence on fossil fuels that pollute the environment. The cost of installing...

Following the announcement of APS’ proposal to alter its policy for net metering (the process for which solar users are compensated for excess energy production), Harmon Solar wanted to do something significant to ensure that solar continues to be a viable cost-saving option for Arizona home and business owners. A group of solar companies, including Harmon Solar, has formed a nonprofit organization designed to advocate on behalf of the solar consumer and educate the community on the impor...

As the push for green energy grows, Arizona residents are thinking about solar energy. But choosing a solar energy company is a big decision. It’s a major investment in the home and requires expertise in construction, electrical, roofing, and other building disciplines. It’s not a job that they want to turn over to any 'Chuck in a Truck' who may be going door to door in the neighborhood. How much electricity the system will generate? A reputable solar energy company has people on...

The Observatory includes new interactive tools to explore data center electricity consumption and digital infrastructure by region, helping visualize these valuable datasets and ensure they are acce...

Solar energy is a hot topic these days, but can it really help them save money? The answer is yes. Especially, if they partner with a locally owned, experienced solar panel installer like Harmon Solar that can help they make sense of what it is to use solar energy. Solar energy is produced by solar panels or modules mounted on the roof of the home. The solar array then transforms the electricity into a form usable by the power company. The electric company monitors that energy and red...

According to the US Department of Energy, homeowners who elect to install solar panels reap financial benefits from their environmentally sound decision.
