President Jimmy Carter set a great example in the 1970′s when he installed a solar hot water system at the White House. When President Reagan took over he removed the panels from the White House just seven years after they were put into service.

Now there is a new call for President Obama to follow Carter’s example and install solar hot water and solar PV systems at the White House. This would help set an example for the rest of the country and the world and allow the White House to use renewable energy to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.  SunWater Solar would certainly like to see a solar water heating project at the White House and of course we would be happy to participate!
