We beat Seattle!!

Finally, something Detroit is better at than Seattle (and Helsinki, I might add). We get more sunlight than both.

Found a cool solar suitability calculator - you can see how much sunlight a given area gets with surprising results. For instance, Burlington, Vermont could be a hotbed of solar power, with almost as much sunlight annually as Corpus Christi, Texas... betcha didn't know that.

What is cool about this is that you can tweak the inputs to accurately estimate the dollar value of a solar system in your area.
