Green Tech Glimpse: Sherpa 50 Solar Powered Charging Device – CES 2012
Solar farms are popping up all over the state, not just in landfills and industrial sites, but also in neighborhoods. Even pro-solar residents aren’t happy about it.

Join us for a free webinar that explains the benefits of an advanced inverter technology and specifically how it is capable of harvesting more energy from PV solar power generation systems. Providing insight into the factors that affect electrical yield, such as insolation and illumination (the effect of shading), and the inverter design and operating parameters that affect yield, the presentation points to “best practice” approaches that can improve electrical — and financial – yield by as much as 30%. In addition, the importance of evaluating issues such as TCO (total cost of ownership), LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) and Efficacy vs. Efficiency are explained in the context of solar system performance and grid parity.

CHIPMAKER Intel demonstrated an experimental prototype system running Windows from a solar cell that had a desk lamp as its primary light source. The solar cell was about the size of a postage stamp and the system was capable of running Windows and a couple of applications including a “funny animation”. The staging lights probably helped too but still it was apparent that the system was running on a very small amount of power. Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel said “This was obviously just a technology demo since we have no plans to productise solar powered computing….yet, but it’s a clear statement of the direction and capability of what we can do with our transistor technology.” µ www.theinquirer.net
