Harnessing solar power in the Land of the Midnight Sun

Despite the common misconception that Alaska suffers from an eternal winter, when averaged over the year Alaska gets 10-17 minutes of sunlight more each day than other states. And our summers are graced with nearly endless daylight. That means alternative energy in the form of solar panels is a great choice for off-grid homesteads here. Solar panels are incredibly effective during these extended periods of sunlight, providing ample energy to sustain a homestead’s needs.
