Guerilla Solar
nGuerrilla Solar Manifesto
nWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all energy is freely and democratically provided by Nature, that utilities both public and private have no monopoly on the production and distribution of energy, that this century s monopolization of energy by utilities threatens the health of our environment and the very life of our planet.
n·         We, the Solar Guerrillas of this planet, therefore resolve to place energy made from sunshine, wind, and falling water on this planet's utility grids with or without permission from utilities or governments.
n·         We resolve to share this energy with our neighbors without regard for financial compensation.
n·         We further resolve that our renewable energy systems will be safe and will not harm utility workers, our neighbors, or our environment.

Solar Guerrillas of Planet Earth

nGuerrilla systems do not endanger utility line workers (see below). They share clean, renewable energy with others on the utility grid, and reduce the need for polluting generation plants. When interconnection for small-scale renewables becomes fair, simple, and easily accessible to all, there will be no more need for guerrilla action.
