The green energy revolution is here with interest in sustainable, efficient power greater than ever. Embedded computing opportunities abound in controllers for smart grids and energy generation from solar and wind, and energy management in commercial and home buildings. Developers of these applications need an embedded platform with excellent connectivity, reliability, and security. Below, I am providing links to some community posts on this topic that I think are particularly useful:
