Maryland’s single largest rooftop solar power installation was unveiled by Staples and SunEdison at Staples’ fulfillment center in Hanover. Staples is the largest office products company in the world and SunEdision is a subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials and largest provider of solar energy services in North America. The solar installation occupies nearly 175,000 square feet of roof space, which is bigger that three football fields. The rooftop solar installation has a capacity to generate 1.01 megawatt of power.
The basic substrate used for the building of electrical circuits and capturing of sunlight and converting it into electricity is provided by polysilicon, which is considered as the backbone of the photovoltaic business and the semiconductor industry. In comparison with the electronic grade silicon that is used to make semiconductors, the purity of silicon can be much lower for making solar wafers. “Polysilicon for Solar Wafers” a techno-economic report, has been released by SRI Consulting. This report talks about the manufacturing economics and the process design for three major commercial processes.
Solutia has been selected to supply its Therminol VP-1 synthetic heat transfer fluid for a new concentrating solar power plant, Solnova 4, in Sevilla, Spain. The 50-MW solar power plant, which is managed by Abener, is scheduled to commence operations in 2010. This plant will be located in Abener's Solucar Platform complex, where several solar plants will also be installed.
Research and Markets has released a new report titled “Miniature Solar Cells Market Potential.” Usable energy from the light of the sun is obtained with the solar power technology. For a very long time, traditional technologies have been using solar energy. The solar technology is deployed extensively in regions where utility power is not available such as in remote locations. This technology is used for space applications also.
Research and Markets has released “Top 5 European Solar PV Markets to Look For in 2009-2010” report. Europe has currently maintained its position as the world leader in solar PV power generation as it has over two-third of the world’s installed capacity of solar photovoltaic. The position of the European market has been further improved by Germany, which is considered as the leading producer of solar modules and cells and a large market for the deployment of solar PV. Italy, Spain, Portugal and France are the other new markets that are responsible for the improvement of the European market.
The FlowCon A single-line solar pump station is integrated with DeltaSol BS or DeltaSol AX controller. It is equipped with the WILO Star ST15/6 or ST15/7 solar thermal or circulation pump and flowmeter. Along with the pressure gauge and relief valve, this pump station can be assembled safely.
Solutia Inc. (NYSE: SOA) announced today that it will be supplying Therminol(R) VP-1 synthetic heat transfer fluid for Solnova 4, a new 50 MW concentrating solar power (CSP) plant in Sevilla, Spain managed by Abener. Solnova 4 is one of several solar plants which will be located at Abener's Solucar Platform complex and is scheduled to begin producing electricity in 2010.
In its seventh year, the program awarded $25,000 to Luis Alberto Juanicó and his team for a project the scientists designed to reduce the use of fossil fuels. They developed an innovative, low-cost solar roof with a sustainable heating and cooling system that offers practical, innovative advantages.
TUV Rheinland of North America has certified SunMizer DC Power Optimizer to both European and United States safety standards. This was announced by the Solar Division of Xandex Inc. The company had developed SunMizer DC Power Optimizer for solar panels.
The Department of Veteran Affairs has awarded SunWize Commercial Power Systems with solar power contracts of more than $7.8 million. SunWize Commercial Power Systems is a nationwide commercial installation division of SunWize Technologies. These solar power contracts comprise 10 solar hospital projects that require over 1.1 MW of photovoltaic systems, which are to be installed in various locations throughout the country.
