About Me

Since November 2014, I've been photographing, researching, writing, and mapping for this solar blog. The parameters are that it has to be solar, in the National Capital Region, and preferably photovoltaic. On average, I post every 5 days and it's a lot of work. I've got huge respect for bloggers that somehow post daily.

The motivation behind this blog is a long interest in renewable energy. It began in college with a few courses in environment and energy. During my sophomore year, I traveled to France and saw a whole new approach to energy. Just before the blog, someone asked me, "Have you visited energy projects first hand? If I Google you, will I see that you have a passion for this? Have you written about it?" The answers to all of these questions was no. A solar blog seemed like the perfect starting point.

For the last few years, I've been traveling, hiking, outdoorsing, and studying Sustainability at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Asheville. I'm SUPER interested in the progress being made on the solar front in island nations and communities without grid access. My work with Vittoria Energy Expedition has fueled that interest.
