PRELIMINARY SITUATION ANALYSIS: ADVANCED PHOTOVOLTAIC TECHNOLOGIES

The solar industry has seen enormous growth over the past several years and is poised to continue rapid growth over the next decade. Three fundamental drivers for the growth of photovoltaic (PV) technologies are:

• Affordable and reliable energy supplies,
• Energy security for national defense, and
• Environmental sustainability

New Study on Material Constraints of Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (Finding: Not a Problem) - CleanTechnica

New Study on Material Constraints of Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (Finding: Not a Problem) - CleanTechnica:



 
 
 

   
    New Study on Material Constraints of Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (Finding: Not a Problem) (via Clean Technica)
   
         As you may have noticed in the story on the huge NREL study just published showing that 80% of US electricity could easily come from renewable sources, concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) would play a big part in that. But would such clean technology run into problematic material constraints…

On-Grid vs. Off-Grid Solar Power Systems

On-Grid vs. Off-Grid Solar Power Systems: "Many times, when people want a solar power system installed, there is a misunderstanding of what it means to be on-grid versus off-grid. A lot of times we hear people say they want to be “off the grid” thinking that is what it means to go solar. What they really mean is that they want to reduce their energy usage, but don’t realize you can do it and still be tied to the grid. On-grid systems stay connected to your power lines which are run by your utility company whereas off-grid ones only rely on the solar system and batteries."
