Solar PV Development Company Ready to Begin Shipping BioBacksheet - Solar Thermal Magaz... - 0 views

  • BioSolar’s patented BioBacksheet is the world’s first UL certified solar panel backsheet made from renewable materials and features two distinct benefits that are unmatched by existing backsheets. First, BioBacksheet’s high thermal conductivity rapidly draws heat away from the solar cells, which can increase the power output of the entire solar panel. Second, BioBacksheet’s USDA BioPreferred Certification allows solar panels to be marketed as more sustainable and socially responsible, and preferred by U.S. government agencies.

Educational Solar Kiosks being Installed at 30 Arizona Schools - Solar Thermal Magazine... - 0 views

  • “Not only is APS producing clean energy for the state through this program, they will provide cutting-edge solar education to students from ages five to 18,” said Robert Schaefer, CEO of AlsoEnergy. “The utility also will receive information through our energy management services that can compare operation between sites and detect underperforming components, providing real-time information to help them better serve their customers.”
  •  
    ""Adding the educational kiosks has taken this program to another level. The students will learn what solar panels can produce at different times of the day and see how much electricity their school is consuming. We're helping to power classrooms for the future leaders of our communities.""

Storing Solar Thermal Energy in Chemical Form has the Potential to Make it Indefinitely... - 0 views

  • Essentially, the molecule undergoes a structural transformation when it absorbs sunlight, putting the molecule into a higher-energy state where it can remain stable indefinitely. Then, triggered by a small addition of heat or a catalyst, it snaps back to its original shape, releasing heat in the process.

Local Content Rule Thwarts Solar Development in Brazil | Renewable Energy News Article - 0 views

  • President Dilma Rousseff last month said utilities will allow homeowners and businesses to install solar panels and trade electricity in the nation's power grid next year as part of Brazil's "bet on an economic-growth model based on clean, renewable energy." Her efforts to promote the technology are being undermined by the financing ban because domestic-made parts are too expensive to make projects viable, said Helcio Garcia Camarinha, chief executive officer of Braxenergy, a developer of solar projects
  • To qualify for the loan, at least 60 percent of a solar project’s parts must be locally made. So far, the BNDES, or Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Economico e Social, hasn’t received any requests for the financing, he said.
  • Homeowners who want to buy Chinese panels can tap a 60-month loan from state-run bank Caixa Economica Federal with rates as low as 18 percent, Jean Benevides, national manager of environment for the Brasilia-based lender, said in a telephone interview. No one has bought solar equipment using the line, which offers the lowest rates for panel purchases in Brazil.

  • maximizing short-term profit while ignoring larger costs is humanity's prevailing worldview, and extracting fossil fuels (especially when subsidized) is a fantastic way to earn short-term profits
  • It's the list of industries that stand to lose market share and profits as renewables advance: oil, coal, gas, traditional electric utilities, and makers of internal-combustion cars.
  • there's no escaping the fact that technologies with a zero cost of fuel will inevitably become cheaper than any extractive industry of the same or even somewhat larger scale, even, ultimately, natural gas
  • For as surely as humans are programmed to maximize short-term gains, we're also fantastic innovators, and we may have a greater capacity for adaptationthan any other species
  • we need to accelerate investments into the best, most profitable, most effective renewables, water solutions, agricultural solutions, and all other sustainable manifestations of technologies required to run an economy.
