Americans putting solar power on the White House.

The White House in Washington DC is one of the most famous residential buildings in the world. Presidents and their families move in, live there and after several years they move out again. It is only normal that they bring their own clothes, books and pictures to make the White House their home. When they move out, of course, they take their belongings with them. That's what everybody does, right?


Jimmy Carter took it a step further. He didn't only bring his own stuff, he brought solar to the White House. In 1979 Carter already wanted to create awareness for renewable energy sources and clean tech. So when he moved out of the White House, he took his personal belongings, but he didn't take the solar installation with him. It was meant to stay.


Unfortunately, the system was removed from the roof of the White House only a couple of years later. Learn more about this "road not taken"...




We think it is about time to utilize all of our power to help President Obama to get solar power back on the White House's roof! Fortunately some friends and solar industry authorities have already built the foundation. Look at this and more importantly... BE PART OF IT!
