In this report, NOVA shines a light on how and why people across America and the world are "going solar," using radiant energy of the sun to power homes, businesses, and even entire communities. But can everyday people really make a difference by using solar power?

The grand hopes, latest innovations, roiling controversies, and practical realities of solar power all come to the fore in this program.
