Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here are 5 regarding solar PV systems. They tackle construction and start-up, plant operation, maintenance, economic analysis, off-grid installations, high-concentration photovoltaics, and solar energy assessment for community energy planning.
This article below has been republished from the U.S. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) website (image added): The Energy Department’s SunShot Initiative recently announced up to $17 million to support the development of innovative, cost-effective solutions to boost the amount of solar energy that utilities can integrate seamlessly with the national … [continued]
Conergy, a photovoltaic solar provider, has reportedly installed 14 photovoltaic solar power plants without subsidies or feed-in tariffs (FiTs) in Spain. Conergy noted that the plants generate electricity at a much lower cost than the average retail price of electricity in Spain, which Conergy said is 15–17 eurocents per kWh. … [continued]
Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here are two on “Future Electricity Grids” (smart grid stuff — a little bit, transmission stuff, renewable energy stuff, and much more):
Here’s a cool video from RENVU.com regarding the coming solar rooftop revolution, with graphs and such based on a report by CleanTechnica contributor John Farrell (h/t Climate Denial Crock of the Week): That’s good news for our economy, good news for those looking for jobs, and great news for the … [continued]
Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here’s one on measuring the “smartness” of the electricity grid:
It may seem ironic for a state that enacted a ban on sea level rise, but renewables and energy efficiency have boosted North Carolina’s economy by creating thousands of new jobs, saving millions of megawatt hours of energy, and generating billions in state revenue since 2007…
Like many cities attempting to solve climate change at a local level, Minneapolis is finding the prospect more challenging that it may have imagined. The lion’s share of emissions (two-thirds in the case of Minneapolis) come from electricity and gas sold by two monopoly, corporate utilities. Minnesota’s state-level policy is … [continued]
I made a big mistake yesterday when I posted about my first update of the Cleantech, Climate, & Other Green News Google Doc. Well, actually, I made a big mistake before that. I didn’t initially make the doc available to the public! Luckily, a bunch of people requested access to the doc, … [continued]
Just a reminder that I’m now updating this Google Doc daily with top cleantech and climate stories from around the interwebs: Cleantech, Climate, & Other Green News. Today was the first update.
