Solarized Dell - Take 30% off price for residental or business?

-190 points posted to Environment by innovationwiz.com 05/02/07

Seems simple! Dell writes code to interface & allow any Dell PC to be able to track the sun's path, for a simple, single or multiple SOLAR PANEL ARRAY.
Example: A Dell PC would be designed to track and monitor both its own power system (with the power coming from an external solar panel ) but, also be capable of tracking the sun's path when plugged into numerous 'solar panel controllers' now marketed for home and business solar systems.

Residential and Business SOLAR TAX CREDITS now exist at least till the end of 2007 for installed solar energy systems. Up to $2000 tax credit on Solar systems for residential, unlimited amount of tax credit for Business solar expense, at 30% of costs.
Example: Buy a solar panel(s) + buy a Dell computer that newly tracks and controls the energy output and solar power management of the solar panel for light(s) and/or the power of your Dell PC in your residence.

Dell would sell more systems - users might get the big tax break on a Dell system - and the world becomes much greener.

A DELL PC MIGHT BE THE BEST SOLAR MONITORING, TRACKING, and POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER IN EXISTENCE WITH THE RIGHT INTERFACE AND SOFTWARE!

Dell should get customers a receipt for recycling their computer too and then lobby congress to get a tax benefit from participating in the recycling. Maybe more kickback for a desktop.

If you want, go ahead and install panels on your roof! But this really belongs on SolarStorm.com, not IdeaStorm.
