General Motors is increasing its renewable energy use with 3 acres of new solar arrays at two Michigan facilities. The company’s processing center in Swartz Creek and engine plant in Flint will feature 150 kW ground-mount solar arrays expected to generate a combined 400,000 kWh of renewable energy per year to the facilities’ grids.
According to the report, the decline in PV installed costs seen by customer-owners of such systems in 2010 follows a significant drop in the wholesale cost for PV modules in 2009. As report co-author Galen Barbose explains, “ Based on our data, average installed costs held steady at $7.50/W Click to enlarge.
After a decade in the solar power installation business, Bradley Bartz is tired of being Mr. Nice Guy. He’s filed suit against Torrance, the proud home of Exxon/Mobil’s refinery, for stopping him from installingsolar panels in the Hillside Overlay district. “ Idiots ! “ Idiots !&#

Volkswagen inaugurated its largest solar facility in the world—also the largest solar facility operated by an automaker in the US—at its plant in Chattanooga, TN, which produces the Passat model for North America.
The accelerator’s higher power provides more neutrons for researchers who use the facility to study and improve a wide range of materials for more efficient solar panels, longer lasting batteries and stronger, lighter materials for transportation. megawatts, which improves on the facility’s original design capability. The SNS’ 1.55-megawatt
It lifts the current “cap&# on rooftop solar from the crappy 2.5% The cap has to do with what percent of rooftop solar customers get to participate in the “net metering&# program that actually gives them credit for the solar power they produce and feed back into the grid. That 20% goal was made into a law in 2006.
Bosch and the Eriksen Group, including related parties and other investors, have signed agreements relating to the purchase of 39.43% of the shares in aleo solar AG. Johanna started developing solar modules based on thin-film CIGS cells in 2006, going into production at the end of 2008. per share.

The amount of electricity used to produce each vehicle in Ford’s manufacturing facilities has been reduced by about 800 kilowatt-hours—from 3,576 kWh in 2006 to 2,778 kWh in 2011. By comparison, average households in states like California, New York, Illinois and Michigan use between 562 kwh and 799 kwh monthly.
In areas such as Hawaii, where renewable energy resources account for a large portion of the grid’s total electrical capacity, intermittent renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar, become less desirable. This is due to the need for a consistent supply of power to meet electrical load demands.
One of the groups I support and learn from is Environment California who have been great advocates of AB 811 and AB 920, the one-two punch for solar we absolutely need to drive solar sales at the rate demanded by today’s CO2 levels. But setting a standard ain’t the same thing as keeping a standard. Dan Jacobson.
Funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), the program will provide direct payments in lieu of tax credits in support of an estimated 5,000 biomass, solar, wind, and other types of renewable energy production facilities. Eligible types of renewable energy propertires inlcude: Large and small wind. Geothermal.
Ioxus , a young (2006) ultracapacitor spin-off from Custom Electronics, an established supplier of high-reliability capacitors to commercial and military clients since 1964, is targeting the development of higher power density, compact ultracapacitors, applied in a full range of applications spanning military, industrial and automotive needs.
Photo: Terrasmart The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s new solar carport is now online, and at 2.8 Terrasmart designed and installed the racking system for the project, teaming up with Melink Solar, who led the engineering, procurement, and construction. MW solar carport appeared first on Bauaelectric EV News.
Aptera has publicly unveiled the production-intent version of its long-awaited solar EV, which it says will start deliveries by the end of this year. Aptera has a long history in the automotive space, dating all the way back to its original founding in 2006 by co-founders Steve Fambro and Chris Anthony. Get started here.

Whilst hydrogen today is extracted from natural gas and is already a global, multi-billion dollar industry used in a wide range of industrial applications, it is also produced from renewable sources like solar, wind or biogas without the need to use fossil fuels. Dr. Winand joined the Board as Chief Executive on 1 September 2006.
In 2006, desiring an electric motorcycle with lithium batteries, he found a start-up EV motorcycle manufacturer using acid batteries and gave the firm a special order. “I Nick had bought a used Fiero with a blown-out engine, intending to install a V8, but his son convinced him to install electric batteries instead,” Steiner said.
Total control of power usage: from solar to EV and back to the house. Once an EV can double as a stationary storage device, it will take its place as part of an energy ecosystem that includes rooftop solar and energy management—and could even become a source of revenue for owners and a valuable grid-balancing resource for utilities.
per cent of the shares in Aleo solar AG - an established brand name in the solar market. Aleo manufactures models on the basis of in-sourced mono- and polycrystalline solar cells. These are then sold to a network of specialist dealers and installers in several major European markets, including Germany.

As Portland, OR gears up for yet another screening of Revenge, local EV'er and filmmaker J Bills recounts the scene at the Portland premiere back in November: Here in Portland, we still talk about the last time Chris Paine rolled through town with a movie; an early screening of 2006’s seminal “Who Killed the Electric Car?”
The first was released back in 2006 and to Tesla’s credit, the company accomplished pretty much everything in that plan. One ordering experience, one installation, one service contact, one phone app. Tesla did build the solar roof, but it hasn’t been the success it thought it would be—at least for now.

It says that Tsutsumi meets half of its electricity requirements thanks to an array of solar panels, while the rest are met by an efficient gas co-generation system. To ensure only as much power is used as needed, energy saving lighting has been installed and patrols are carried out to monitor usage.
If your charging infra is from solar & battery recycling is sorted, then it’s the ideal for environment. Solar at home,EV for commute & rain water harvesting at home that’s the best we can contribute to cleaner environment. I eventually Plan a “Solar” at home for an 4W EV then, let hope for the best.
Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. Installation of CCS charging stations has already begun in Europe and the United States. Audi installs the four cylindrical CNG tanks as a compact module in the rear end of the Avant.

I love the idea of powering my car from solar power. Unless/until PV cells become more efficient, and are part of the original installation, they will seriously affect the cars aerodynamics and will be far less durable than metal. See our 2007 Goals and 2006 Report. How about putting PV cells on the roof of a PHEV?
by Steven Pleging, CEO/President of Quantum Solar Power Corp. I believe that the loss of industry players Solyndra, Evergreen, and SpectraWatt opens the market for more innovative solar companies to succeed with smarter tactics and mainstream products that fit into existing manufacturing models.

Solar, Wind and Biofuels Grew 53 Percent in 2008 Green Education = Environmental Religion? Installation will be made of thousands of in-home control devices and the necessary systems to fully automate home energy use. Why not ake it all the way and spend 1 year of Iraq on retrofitting every home in America with nano solar.
Email « Is It a Solar Bottom? stopcrazypp said on March 31st, 2009 at 7:33 pm Rapid charging is so easy you’ll all fall over and laugh about this debate once charge points start to get installed. It’s all too easy… and about 1/1,000,000 th the effort of installing a hydrogen infrastructure from scratch!
