This scholarly article is a very expansive compilation of interviews with a few big names
in solar energy right now. Bill Colavecchio, the vice president and general manager of the
industrial products sector of Underwriters Laboratories gives many evidences from his
field of recent growth in photovoltaics and solar energy. He says that there is a lot of

evidences" is grammatically correct. Maybe "gives
much/a lot of evidence".

backup for certification of products using photovoltaics because the industry is growing
so rapidly. He gives some advice on how to most efficiently go about getting a new solar
product certified. Bob Cleereman, the senior technical director of building integrated
photovoltaic technology at Dow Chemical Co. tells about growth in something called the
solar shingling, a technology where solar cells also serve as outer protection for a
building. The vice president of renewable energy with Johnson Controls Inc., Don
Albinger, gives advice on how to formulate an alternative energy strategy, focusing on
economic, environmental and social success. Finally, the article gives information on the
recent success in wind powered energy. This article is written to provide insight into the
current and expected growth in solar energy, specifically in the context of manufacturing.
The author of this article, John Teresko, is an author for Industry Week, a web site that
provides research and information for manufacturing companies. This source is reliable
and very helpful because it provides information on solar energy from the specific point
of view of manufacturing companies. I can use this source to cite specific examples of
areas that solar technology is advancing.

The Solar Energy Industries Association is a website that focuses on researching,
manufacturing, distributing, financing, and building solar projects. *specific examples*
The website provides information on solar technologies, answers frequently asked
questions, provides help for finding solar jobs, and offers suggestions on how a home or
business can go solar. This website is published by the national trade association in the
U.S., the SEIA, and it provides very reliable and expansive information and tools related
to solar energy. The website exists to further the growth of solar energy in the U.S. and
internationally. I find this source to be very beneficial. It is a vast compilation of many
articles and reports that provide information on current solar energy. I can use this
website to find specific examples of where solar energy is today and where it is heading.
It will also provide valuable insight into how difficult or easy it may be for a home or
business to go solar.

Comment [DE3]: I thought this was a pretty


good first draft. I think you can add a little more
information to each annotation. Go into more detail
and relate it back to your main question more. You
also need 2 more sources. (This is an optional thing,
but maybe rephrase some sentences to make it
easier to read and make it flow more).
