For the first time in 20 years, state energy regulators have approved construction on a solar thermal farm. The California Energy Commission gave the Beacon Solar Energy project a unanimous go-ahead Wednesday. The installation, set to …
The big problem with a solar panel is that it only produces power part of the time. As we discussed in How Wind Power Doesn’t Work, the intermittent nature of solar (and wind) energy doesn’t work so well on the grid. …
WindEnergy7.com – We have Electric Solar Systems. Installing Electric Solar Systems is what WindEnergy7 LLC is all about. Our specialty is Electric Solar Systems using hybrid energy of home wind turbines and emergency power back-up systems to power your home when the grid goes down. The main thing different about our business is that we are NOT a parts seller. Most people who sell wind and solar are selling parts and pieces and not whole systems. Beware of that type of purchase where someone is selling you pieces of a system. It allows a vendor to avoid blame and not back your purchase. They are selling you parts for a reason. The reason? Because that keeps them from having to be responsible for the failure of your system. Say you bought a Subaru car, Toyota motor, and Chevrolet transmission? Got the picture? A wind or solar system for your home is a very technical, high performance electrical system. Furthermore it’s on your home, where you live. Don’t play around with a mix-match “science project” on your home. Since we have trained Home Wind Turbine customers, dealers, and installers from California to New Jersey, we get calls every day from people who bought parts and pieces. Their systems don’t work. They are money out and no results on their “science project”. It’s a shame. I cannot afford to help them get some mix-match chinese junk working. No telling what’s wrong and if the parts even worked when received. Our customers are buying into complete solutions, not …
Stanford engineers have figured out how to simultaneously use the light and heat of the sun to generate electricity in a way that could make solar power production more than twice as efficient as existing methods and.
Indeed, the biggest obstacle to the growth of solar energy — its cost—has started to decline. The price of photovoltaic solar panels dropped more than 40 percent last year due to a glut in global supply, according to the Solar Energy …
