The world’s first MicroCSP Solar Thermal Plant was inaugurated on 10 December, 2009 by Sopogy. The inauguration took place at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii. This thermal energy project that spreads across 3.8 acres in the Kona desert is titled: “Holaniku at Keahole Point”. This title is derived from a Hawaiian term that refers to a location that is self-sufficient in all aspects.
International Rollforms made an announcement of the installation of a solar energy system at the company’s New Jersey manufacturing plant, which measures 65,000 square foot. This installation is part of the company’s effort to create a greener environment and to increase its business efficiency.
Burnaby School District is installing rooftop solar power systems at its two new school buildings. Rooftop solar power systems supplied by Victoria-based Carmanah Technologies are used for this purpose, in an effort to fulfill sustainability objectives and move closer to achieving LEED certification for the school buildings.
First Light solar energy park, a joint venture of SkyPower and SunEdison, was named as "Solar PV (photovoltaic) Project of the Year" by the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA). This was announced in Toronto during its annual Solar Conference. First Light solar energy park generates more than 11 million kW of power per annum.
The operation of the Wattsun active solar tracker also maximizes the amount of power generated by the solar array from approximately 10 per cent to about 50 per cent. This is dependant on climatic conditions. This solar tracker from Susitna Energy Systems is ideal for hot summer conditions, when there is a higher power requirement for water pumping applications. With the use of the Wattsun active solar tracker, it becomes possible to pump a higher volume of water.
Solectria Renewables produces various models of grid-tied solar inverters that are suitable for commercial applications. The PVI 15kW photovoltaic inverter is a DSP controlled inverter that can be used for three-phase utility PV systems and for industrial applications. The PV inverter includes different control devices and techniques such as precision MPT algorithm, space vector PWM, and low loss rench gate IGBTs. The maximum efficiency rate of the gird-tied inverter is 97 percent.
The SunWize SW115 photovoltaic module consists of 36 solar cells that are connected in series. The monocrystalline solar cells are encapsulated in ethylene vinyl acetate and feature a white Tedlar backing lamination. The junction box of the panel incorporates all wiring methods such as electrical conduit and strain relied connectors that are moisture resistant. The junction box is fitted with bypass diodes.
The Grundfos SQ Flex 3 SQF-2 solar water pumps needs sunlight or air for operation. A combination of solar and wind energy can also be utilized to operate the solar pump. Power for the solar pump can be supplied from solar panels, generators, wind turbines or batteries. The economical solar water pump requires low maintenance. The solar submersible pump comprises IO 102 breaker box, CU 200 control unit, IO 100 switch box and IO 101 switch box.
Acro Energy Technologies in partnership with SunRun is offering to install solar energy systems through a new Zero Down Holiday Promotion. This offer which is open to California homeowners is available up to 15 January, 2010 and it is also applicable for systems installed under the SunRun Power Plan agreement by Acro Energy.
Suntech Power Holdings announced on 9 December, 2009 that three long-term supply agreements were signed by the company. Suntech, a top-level manufacturer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, has agreed to supply up to 490MW of solar modules.
