Engineering Society of Detroit Conference on Alternative Energy
03/09/10
The ESD, the acronym for the Engineering Society of Detroit, is now 115 years old and it remains an august institution in the City of Detroit. Once housed in a magnificent marble building next to the Detroit Institute of the Arts it is an encompassing institution that holds many fine conferences on Engineering developments and Issues. Their recent conference held on March 3rd on Alternative Energy was something of a rousing affair, which we do indeed need since Michigan has been hardest hit in this recent Economic turn-down.

10 Things Every Solar Company Should Know in 2010
03/03/10
Renewable Energy companies need Public Relations (PR) for several reasons. The following are the top 10 things I believe every RE company should be aware of in 2010. Remember, the solar industry is still a nascent industry just at the beginning of its steep growth curve. But general awareness of solar and other renewables and their benefits is very low among the general public. The industry needs to educate and communicate with the American public so they better understand renewables and the bright future they can bring to our world.

Cooling applications represent 25% of all electricity use in the United States, consuming over 7 quadrillion BTUs of energy and generating nearly 600 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. The Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), is developing a new form of refrigeration that could be three times as efficient as existing forms. It's based on thermoacoustics, a technology that works for cooling at extremely low temperatures (such as for liquefying gases), but hasn't been used for cooling at room temperature (what you need for household refrigeration). PARC has developed a proprietary thermoacoustic refrigeration technology that can achieve double the efficiency of the best current residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Wide adoption of PARC's technology could lead to dramatic energy savings and greatly reduced CO2 emissions. PARC's approach could:

• Double the efficiency of air conditioning
• Save 4 quadrillion BTUs (13% of total U.S. electricity use) per year
• Reduce CO2 emissions by 311 million metric tons annually

SUNERGY High Yield Low Voltage Inverters

SUNERGY inverters provide power optimization through PARALEX array architecture, ideal for commercial installations of all sizes. The inverter is uniquely designed to operate at extra low voltage enabling solar panels to be connected in parallel. The result is improved energy yield per installed kilowatt and superior safety with the elimination of all high DC voltages. The PARALEX array architecture enables the highest overall system performance ratio, with maximum resistance to any non-ideal conditions such as partial shading and mismatch losses, ideal for long term system reliability.
