Teresko, John. “The Future Is Bring for Solar Energy.” Industry Week 258.1 (2009): n. pag.

Web. 9 March 2015.

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

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.

Comment [DE1]: I don't know if "many evidences" is grammatically correct. Maybe "gives much/a lot of evidence".

Solar Energy Industries Association. **finish citation

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.”

York Times, 28 May 2013. Web. 9 March 2015.

This is an article written for the online journal, The New York Times. 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).
