With recent high energy prices, the passage of major energy legislation in 2005 (P.L. 109-58) and 2007 (P.L. 110-140), and the passage of a farm bill in 2008 (P.L. 110-246), there is ongoing congressional interest in promoting alternatives to petroleum fuels. Biofuels—transportation fuels produced from plants and other organic materials—are of particular interest.

Ethanol and biodiesel, the two most widely used biofuels, receive significant government support under federal law in

default Executive Panel: Solar PV business in California, issues, challenges and perspectives

Germany plans to run most of its nation on Solar powered by 2050. Germany knows it can get all the power it needs from Solar, wind & Geo thermal energy from the earth. This is how & why Germany was able to shut down its nukes. This is WHY Germany was able to shut down its nukes. This is the way we can shut down our nukes. Shut down all nuclear plants in the US now by installing a million solar roofs in 2012. This means YOU. Don’t just read this & do nothing. You have now been given the power to start your own solar power company, by the new affordable Solar power technology. This is the second Industrial revolution happening NOW. Enough sun falls on the US to run every factory, every house, every school in the US today. And the technology is here. The power is now in your hands, because the law allows you to sell power your solar panels harvest back onto the grid, at twice the market rate for power. Experts have a tunnel view. We need a comprehesive view to shift the world from nuclear energy to Solar. Shut down the nuclear reactor at san Luis Obispo in 2012. The next earth quake will tip it into the ocean in 2012. Energy automy. Apple needs to put a PV on the back of its phone, so when you lay it down in the sun, it would recharge the battery. PG&E is trying to block people from selling solar power on the Grid. We need to make only 1 decision. Pick the type of energy we want to use – solar – the energy determines the path we must follow to harvest and use that energy

Q4 – Betty Chu & Chris Agrella on Solar Incentives

default Q4   Betty Chu & Chris Agrella on Solar Incentives

Under the California Solar Initiative residents install solar systems and the state awards a one-time rebate of .50 /watt. When residents generate more energy than they use it is fed back into the electric grid back to the utility company who holds on the extra kilowatts, but do not pay back residential customers upfront. However, business customers do receive a pay back for extra kilowatts pumped into the power grid. 7. What is your plan to encourage residents in the San Gabriel Valley to go green at home? 8. How would you help businesses, institutions, and industrial facilities to go green?

How much does power 1.5kW grid solar panel system produce in a month?

Question by : How much does power 1.5kW grid solar panel system produce in a month?
Based on an average home in Perth, Australia during winter. I need a rough estimate of how much power it will produce during a month~ thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by bonobo
Electrical power is measured in watts or W.
1.5 KW is 1500 W.
Energy is what we pay for and it is POWER x TIME and is usually measured in KW-Hrs
The solar panel puts out 1.5 KW of power which is probably a peak value under maximum sunlight conditions. Its the sunlight that matters not the outside temperature.
The sunlight intensity depends on both the season and how close to the equator you are. I would think that its fairly strong even in the Perth Australian winter.
If you totaled all the sunlight intensity in a day it would on average be the same as the sun shining for 4 hours only at peak sunlight intensity. I’m not positive about that number.
So then multiplying the values we get:

(1.5 KW)(4 Hrs)(30 days) = 180 KW-Hrs in one month.

If the utility company charged you 10 cents per KW-Hr then its worth

(0.1)(180) = 18 dollars per month. (Using U.S. money)

What do you think? Answer below!

For solar electric, these may help, but you need to start by buying solar cells.

Q&A: How do i get started as a manufacturer of commercial pv solar panels?

Question by Thomas T: How do i get started as a manufacturer of commercial pv solar panels?
I want to start a business making pv solar panels.

Best answer:

Answer by roderick_young
That’s kind of like starting your own automobile manufacturing business. To be profitable, you would unfortunately need a large amount of starting capital. If you look around, there aren’t a lot of little companies making pv panels. The ones that are profitable are huge and control the supply chain starting from raw materials. And even those might be taking losses next quarter. Sorry, just trying to be realistic.
