Building Integrated Photovoltaics Impacts the Glass and Glazing Industry
12/19/11, Richard D. Voreis , Consulting Collaborative
Selling PV modules in their product package of glass and fenestration products represent a very significant sales potential increase for glass and glazing subcontractors. On a related matter, many PV modules can be glazed directly into the fenestration products without any modification to either product.
MIT Energy Initiative: With changes, U.S. electric grid can hold up to expected challenges
12/19/11, David Chandler, MIT News Office
MIT report shows that with new policies, U.S. electric grid could handle expected influx of electric cars and wind and solar generation.
Solar Infrastructure Codes
12/19/11, Juan Suarez, Unirac
Unirac is a strong advocate for developing new codes for solar infrastructure, and has been working closely with the International Code Council Evaluation Service to develop new performance standards for racking and mounting systems. Unirac’s new SolarMount (E)volution residential roof mount PV racking system, launched at Solar Power International in October, is currently being evaluated by ICC-ES. Unirac is the first company to apply for an ICC ESR under ICC-ES AC428.
Striking Balance – How the Solar Industry Benefits From the U.S. & China
12/19/11, Robert D. Hansen and Stephanie A. Burns, Dow Corning
The solar industry is ready for its moment in the sun: Here at home, we hope fairness prevails so that the investigatory process proceeds without acrimony, political overzealousness or protectionism; at stake are U.S. jobs, U.S. exports, and U.S. consumer benefits for a strategically important U.S industry
Solar Technology Comparison Study
Wastewater Engineering Building – LEED Gold Certified
12/19/11, Third Sun Solar
Both thin film and crystalline solar technologies provide reliable and impressive energy production performance. While it is well known that amorphous silicon modules suffer lower performance loss in high temperatures and low light conditions, this study reveals that the differing mounting requirements of each system more than offset this cell-type difference. As a result, with commonly-used commercial mounting solutions, crystalline modules actually outperform thin film modules in energy production per rated watt.

A recent report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance demonstrated that, in spite of plunging stock prices, investment in utility scale renewable energy was higher in Q3 than in any other quarter and up by 16% compared to this time last year. The second shock of the report was that it was the US cleantech sector taking the lead in terms of investment, overtaking the usual front runners Europe and China. This seemingly positive news is however tainted with some worries from investors and the cleantech sector. Some believe Solyndra's high profile collapse will affect government support of renewable incentives, whilst others expect the expiry of the Treasury cash grant at the end of the year to dampen the development of utility scale projects. Building upon Bloomberg New Energy Finance's findings, Green Power Conferences and the Solar Power Generation USA congress invited over 35,000 professionals from the solar and finance communities to take part in a 5 minute survey to assess industry confidence for 2012. Despite expected difficulties in the market, over 60% of respondents thought that investment in the utility scale solar sector would increase in 2012, whilst 20% thought it would stay the same as 2011 levels.

The TF-800 horizontal single axis tracker is a utility scale, reliable tracking system that will increase the yield of photovoltaic panels by up to 25%. The TF-800 incorporates an advanced programming feature that reverses the motion of the tracker to eliminate inter-row shadowing, allowing for bigger systems to be installed in a smaller areas. A complete 10 kW system can be assembled in less than 4 hours without the need of special machinery, tools or welding in the field.
