Been feeling like we need to get a little more “save” going in our posts to live up to our “Planetsave” theme. With solar power being one of the very top solutions to numerous environmental and climate crises, and with sister site CleanTechnica being a top site for solar energy news, been thinking of starting “Solar Energy News Roundups” once a week here on Planetsave to feature those stories. Here’s the first — check out some of these awesome solar energy stories from the past week or so:<\/p>\n
