Seattle, WA – October 21, 2009

Cooler Planet was a bit surprised to discover how often its solar calculator tool was being used to research solar projects across the country. “It’s great to see the interest in solar energy really taking hold around the country,” Tom Staples, President of Cooler Planet, said of the popularity. “We hope this helps illustrate the potential solar power has to change the way Americans produce energy in a cleaner, greener way” Staples added.

Cooler Planet, an online destination for home and business owners researching solar power, has released a real time display of the cost and savings information consumers are learning about upcoming solar projects around the country; and the results are impressive. There is another solar project being researched using the Cooler Planet solar calculator each and every minute of the day somewhere in the country. These solar projects, and the savings they would represent for consumers, are now displayed in real time on a map on the Cooler Planet website, giving the world a look at the increasing consumer interest in solar energy.

The “solar calculator” tool that is generating the data was developed by Cooler Planet to help consumers estimate the costs and savings potential of upcoming solar projects and is distributed to many additional sites across the web by Cooler Planet as a free service.
