Body

Dodge Products, Inc. had adapted NASA's solar cell technology to produce an inexpensive solar meter. This meter is finding wide acceptance among architects, engineers, and others engaged in construction of solar energy facilities. It detects the amount of solar energy available at a building site, information necessary to design the most efficient type of solar system for a particular location. Device is based on solar cell, which provides power for spacecraft by converting the sun's energy to electricity.
