The solar energy system will be a teaching tool as well as a means of producing energy and encouraging conservation.
When it comes to solar energy and the installation of photovoltaic systems, Texas in no way compares to places like California, Hawaii, and Arizona. However, Austin is a national hotspot. But to anyone who knows anything about Austin, that should not come as a surprise. I'm sure that with the incredible decline in the price of solar modules we'll see the entire state "going solar" very soon.
