In Hot Springs, Arkansas, community radio station KUHS(opens in a new tab) has been converting sunlight into music for the last six years. The station's solar panels help reduce the utility bills and allow the radio team a degree of freedom to decide what to broadcast. Now, they're helping other stations make the conversion to solar, too.
