Bill Could Increase PV Rooftop Panels & Hot Water to 10M
[caption id="attachment_423" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Sentaor Bernie Sanders"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_424" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Representative Steve Cohen"][/caption] Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) introduced the 10 Million Solar Roofs and 10 Million Gallons of Solar Water Heating Act of 2010 on Capitol Hill today. This bill, modeled on California’s Million Solar Roofs initiative, would deploy photovoltaic solar panels on 10 million rooftops nationwide and increase the capacity of solar hot water by 10 million gallons over the course of the next 10 years. Passing this bill would create the world’s largest market for solar energy here in the U.S. and bring with it ...
Cubicles Powered By Indoor PV Solar Panels & Light Fixtures
Solaroad Technologies Group has announced its CubeTube Solar Generators. This indoor PV generator is designed to power indoor workstations, especially cubicles. the CubeTube solar generator generates its power by utilizing waste energy put off by lighting fixtures. The CubeTube also makes it so cubicles can be removed from the electrical grid, improving their mobility. The CubeTube solar Generator is manufactured in a cylindrical shape making it possible to harvest light not only from above while it is fixed atop the walls of the cubicle. The functioning of the CubeTube solar generator is not hindered by climatic or environmental changes as it ...
Haiti Relief: Solar Power Can Purify Water
DynGlobal will have on display its full line of scalable water purification products at the 2010 Renewable Energy Technology Conference and Exhibition (RETECH), from point-of-use and household applications to large scale commercial and municipality systems. DynGlobal will also be showcasing its patent-pending DG 24/7 system, a solar-operated water filtration unit ideal for disaster relief and remote areas where power has been comprised or is unavailable. Several DG 24/7 units have been deployed by DynGlobal to Haiti to aid Project Hope and the Department of Defense (US Navy) on a large scale effort to provide much needed clean water to tens of ...
Research Predicts PV Market To Be Worth US$38.1B By 2014
A new market research report published by MarketsandMarkets, ‘Concentrated Photovoltaic and Solar Photovoltaic Global Markets (2009 – 2014)’, predicts the total concentrated photovoltaic market to be worth US$266.0 million by 2014, growing at a CAGR of 33.0% from 2009 to 2014. Europe is expected to command the maximum market share at 59.3%, followed by the Americas, which are expected to hold 32% of the global concentrated photovoltaic market. The Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) market includes the submarkets for Low Concentration Photovoltaic (LCPV), Medium Concentration Photovoltaic (MCPV), and High Concentration Photovoltaic (HCPV). The CPV market is still in a nascent stage but is ...
Solar Not Forgotten In Obama’s Proposed 2011 Budget
The proposed 2011 budget that was proposed by President Barack Obama does not exclude investments in clean energy, but subsidies for the oil, coal and gas industries were. Specifically, the president's FY 2011 budget request includes the following: Lending authority to support approximately $40 billion in loan guarantees for innovative clean energy programs; More than $108 million in new funding to advance and expand research in the areas of wind, solar and geothermal energies; More than $217 million in new funding for science research and discovery, including an additional $40 million for the existing Energy Frontier Research Centers program and $107 million for Energy ...
