    I’ve spent a lot of time researching alternative energy and the options that it provides for both consumers and businesses. As someone passionate on the topic, I find that monitoring energy use is one of the most important pieces in a “green” transformation. Many of us are still in the dark on how much energy we consume, and those of us making the leap into photovoltaic technology can still continue to decrease our energy use by being more aware of what we utilize. Google PowerMeter is even compatible with several brands of energy use meters, such some versions of the TED meters. My company is currently having a sweepstakes for the month of September where we are giving away a free TED 1001 Energy Meter. If you’re interested check it out – http://www.powershed.com.
