I think these articles should be merged. They are synonyms with the same information. What do you think Rick? Mtleslie 17:13, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Solar panels = flat plate PV panels or flat plate solar thermal Solar collector = above but includes mirrors

PV and thermal need to be distinguished, lets have one section for

Solar thermal panels or collectors

and

one for

Photovoltaic modules (demerged from soalr panels)--Oldboltonian 20:06, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Could also reduce this page a disambiguation page for PV modules or solar thermal panels. I have created a stub for PV modules, there is enough materal for a decent article on PV modules.

There's not much to say about both PV modules and solar thermal panels together--Oldboltonian 19:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Environmental technology template

I'd like to replace the Environmental technology template with one that matches the standard navbox style, i.e. horizontal instead of vertical, collapsing and typically placed at the bottom of article pages. I've done a mock up of what this would look like at {{User:Jwanders/ET}}. Figured this was a big enough change that I should post before going ahead with it. Please discuss here--jwandersTalk 22:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
