A proposal letter for an affordable clean solar system for every American home!






Mr. President:
This issue is a waste because we have not paid enough attention to our natural resources. We need to take it seriously. We have so many researches going on clean energies in the last decades. We have many companies and lab researches around the country, but we are not working together to bring the cost of our home solar system down to the price that every single family in America can afford. To have one system for their home electric usage is our goal. Our economy is in crisis by the rising of jobless, fiscal deficit, high debt, and energy prices rising every day. We all know that if our heavy dependence on fossil fuels threatens our national and economic security, and carbon emissions are poisoning the planet and altering the global climate. The sun is an omnipresent form of energy; I called it a God’s gift. We all realize the oil resource is decreasing each day. We know this is a big effort. But I believe under your leadership, our nation will be successful in the path of creating clean solar energy and making it to become an economic sense. We all should think and prepare for our next generations to come.

Mr. President, I have an idea in which can solve many issues at one. My dream to bring the idea to be in reality to every roof of American home. First it can create jobs immediately and quickly. This is a key to bring back a prosperous and a stable for our economy. Creating jobs for every Americans can also help to increase our government revenue and decreasing out national debt. Beside this idea will satisfy many other hard matters that our nation is facing today. That is the shortage and the high cost of energy. We have spend a billion dollar each year to import oil from other countries for our over 20 billion barrel per day in the consumption. We are the number one country using much oil each day. We also need to consider its oil usage as national security concern. We have environment problems. We are facing with national high debt each minute we spend, from federal to State governments. I don’t want to see hypermetropic of each State is going to be exhausted and fall to bankruptcy. In fact, our California State debt is up 58 billion compared to our nation debt of 13.3 trillion today.

Affordable solar system is a right choice to create jobs and to solve many more critical issues that we are facing today. We all have to ask a series of questions in which we can bring the cost of clean solar energy system down to the right price for every single home. Where the high cost comes from? Will it come from raw material, technology, labor, space to build a plant and so on like administrative, services, delivery, installation, maintenance...? A base on the several researches, the cost for each system (5.0 KW) is about twenty thousand, for an 1800 square feet house. My idea would cut the cost of this solar system down 50 percent. This could cost 10k for each system. The average of my house electricity bill is $150 a month about $1,800 a year. Should I invest $10,000 for a clean solar system that would be last 20 years? First we must find a main resource that produce solar panel. That is silicon. Second, we have to build plants where the cost of space and the cost of labor are lowest, the cost of administrative and other management expenses are affordable. Technically, we already have on hand.

In California and especially in San Jose, Silicon Valley for the time since 1971, we have many booms from biology to chemistry, from high tech to PC revolution and from semiconductor to the internet. We have been ranging of our nation in many decades. Now is the time for a comeback? I believe yes we can, Mr. President. You can lead us out of energy crisis and establish a new era of clean solar energy. You can lead us to be independent on energy and gain the national security. Transition to clean and renewable energy will make us more competitive and healthier. You will make history and history will name you. This will be a main energy resource for our next generations to come. We have a strong business philosophy and a talented skillful engineering group. They establish capital investment firms and many others worth progress.We could not un-mention about our hard working, productive labor and rich resources. This is a right choice for California to become a leading State in Clean Solar Energy because our advantage of sunlight is over 300 days a year, and minimum 5-8 hour of sunshine a day upon each season. San Jose will be on the vanguard city to apply it. Once California gets back to work and become a stronger and prosperous. It will drive others State out of energy crisis. California would be a first stepping-stone on the path to our national economic success.
In the main solar market right now, we have three main types of solar panels. Firstly, Monocrystalline Solar Panels are the most efficient as in absorbing sunlight and made from a large crystal of silicon. Secondly, Polycrystalline solar panels are the slightly less efficient then monocrystalline but it is less expensive and more popular in the solar market today. The third is Amorphous solar panels consist of a thin film made from molten silicon. In general all of three of them are made from main raw material that is silicon (sand). I do believe Polycrystalline (Photovoltaic) solar cell is the best choice for this. We have no more time to wait. We have to look forward to the bright future. This is a matter of great urgency we must to act. Why don’t we make solar power a viable alternative to fossil fuel sources, now? This type of solar panel would be far less expensive when we have a massive production. These solar systems produce electricity directly from the electrons when it catches sunlight from its surface cells. The electrical energy from solar cells can then be used directly. It can be used in a home for lights and appliances. It can be used in a business. Clean Solar energy can also store in batteries for many other using purposes.

At this time, China seems to pass us on Solar Panels manufacturing to be a global leader, following Japan and Europeans. We need to take it seriously and make this green-tech sector to benefit us because we have all resources, strengths on hand and we have a strong support from our government. Again why don’t we take this opportunity to create manufacturing jobs for hard working Americans since we already lost electronic manufacturing jobs last decade? We need to stand up and make it happen before it is outsourcing, out of our control. Let’s ask questions together, Will this create job? Is it positive choice to do? Do we have high energy demand? Do we have enough resources to make it happen?

Are we as Americans, smart and hardworking? Can we do it now?

What I mean a massive solar production, a big picture with a goal from 5 Gigawatts increasing each year, to reach over 25 Gigawatts in 2015. It could power to 5 million homes and entire of California households could be powered by clean energy by 2020. This is a very affirmative decision. It could produce from 3 to 5 million domestic jobs in ten years. We all realize that is a keystone for our economy growth. It is a time; Mr. President and your Administration will lead us and move this lovely country to the right direction in which our future generations will also be interestedness.

Finally I want to mention the cost of protection our environment and why we have to apply photovoltaic cells and clean solar energy to be a part of our society today but the key incentive is to protect our environment. If we are ready for clean solar energy from all state in which this is also a right path to establishing green environment everywhere and encourage this policy. We also can bring the cost of environment protection down. The environment advantage to producing a portion of California ‘clean energy by renewable sources, especially solar energy, are evident. We all realize the demand of energy each day is at high stage not only from American but the World. The increase in energy consumption followed by using and increasing the coal burning, adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Applying these clean solar systems as soon as, will directly reduce coal, carbon, gas, diesel emissions and will creating a green environment for all American benefits. Applying these solar panels on the roof of every American home will the best interest not only for each resident, City and State but our Nation. We must recognize that it is not only our need but global energy high demand. The rate of return on the initial investment will be astronomical compared to others as stock or bank interest…This is a potential profitable venture for the both State and Federal governments. The local city agencies and residents also become involved in. The bright future for America, Mr. President.
Yours truly,
