Solar Quotes… & Solar Quotes

I’m a huge fan of great quotes (or, quotations, as my high school English teacher would emphasize they should be called). Obviously, I’m also a huge fan of solar power. So, a collection of awesome solar quotes is right up my alley. I’m going to share some awesome ones below, but I’ll first discuss what I think you’re really here for — information regarding the other type of solar quotes, solar power cost and savings quotes.

Solar Quotes

Since there isn’t really much more to say about that, let’s move on to some awesome solar quotes (err… quotations) from famous people and organizations of today and yesteryear.

This first one is in the footer of our website, and I use it quite often, so I think you can probably tell it’s one of our favorites:

“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” Thomas Edison, 1931

For a modern-day one, this one from the solar advocacy organization Vote Solar is about as good as it gets:

“When there’s a huge solar energy spill, it’s just called a ‘nice day’ ” Vote Solar billboard, 2012

“Texas has the potential to be a MASSIVE solar market.

“Rush Limbaugh says that the solar industry doesn’t even exist. So I would to take this opportunity to set him straight: The Solar Foundation’s jobs census released just today shows that we employ more than 100,000 Americans.
