People that grow flowers and such have been using solar power for
hundreds of years. They are called greenhouses. They open and close
vents and shades to fine-tune the temp as needed. A lot of the same
principles can be applied to residences and commercial spaces, thereby
reducing the electric/gas/oil they need to get by.

Which, of course, is not generating electricity which is what the
solar energy scam.. er... industry is being built on. Alternative energy
GENERATION sources have to be in place by mandate, without regard to
there actual usefulness (or heck in some cases without regard to the
physics.) This is a whole different ball of wax that actually works. I
use many of these at my house (I also have strategically planted trees).
But these are also things that are really only gonna help at the
margins.
