Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is solarpaces.org legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns solarpaces.org?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for solarpaces.org. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

What solarpaces.org said about itself, 2006
Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (1 version). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2006
Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems use concentrated solar radiation as a high temperature energy source to produce electrical power and drive chemical reactions. These clean energy technologies are appropriate for Sunbelt applications where direct solar radiation is high. Solar thermal electricity generation is the most cost effective and only commercial scale solar technology.
