Sep. 28, 2009 08:00 AM


FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Solargy Systems Inc. "SLGS-PK". Solargy Systems Inc has indicated it is developing high output solar panels of 500 watts and possibly as high as 1000 watts at the same cost of standard 200 or 300 watt panels. The new panels will be used in the firms existing solar farm power projects.

C M Nurse, CEO noted, "In the last few years there has been significant developments of solar panel technology, which individually has the potential to double existing panel output. Developments have been made in holographic film, hybrid panels and manufacturing efficiencies. Solargy has tasked its research team to review the state of panel technology and develop a model to integrate readily available technologies into a manufacturing process to develop solar panels to produce a minimum of 500 watts and optimally to get a 1000 watts per panel for ground mounted applications. The technology already exists. We simply have to aggregate it into a product and produce the panels, which we plan to do in our manufacturing plant, scheduled to be online for the third quarter of 2010."

"The net effect of high output solar panels of 500 to 1000 watts for each panel will be to reduce the area required for any solar panel installation by at least 50 %, thereby reducing the land cost and enabling faster return on investment."

Solargy Systems Inc, is a systems integrator of alternative energy technologies. Solargy Systems Inc already has power purchase agreements (PPA) totalling 30 MW and expects to secure additional PPAs in the months ahead. The technologies we use will provide solutions to the high cost of energy in emerging markets by selling and installing small power systems ranging from 1 MW for large commercial applications to 20 MW and larger hybrid systems by using combinations of solar and wind or waste and solar. The combinations we use will be determined by local conditions.

Bing on the rise

Google is the royalty of search, so powerful that even its name is used as a synonym for searching. But funny thing. I was talking to someone this week who said he'd "binged" for something.

Bing? What the hell is Bing? Those were the exact words from another conversation I had last week, with my retired next-door-neighbor. He'd seen Bing mentioned in a newspaper article that he was reading. Knowing I'm connected with the Internet in some way, he came to ask me more after spotting me outside.

Bing, of course, is Microsoft's "new" search engine launched earlier this year to challenge Google. I put quotes around the word new because Microsoft has had its own search engine since 1998. Formerly called Live Search, previously called MSN Search before that, Bing is Microsoft's hope that the third time really is a charm. Bing brings a new look and some new features to the Microsoft search engine. Bing's also got a multi-million dollar marketing campaign backing it.

Is it working? Microsoft just went over a 10% share of the US search market for the first time in ages. That person I'd mentioned having "binged" something rather than "googled" it. That's just one anecdotal story, of course, but it's coming directly out of Microsoft's marketing campaign.

I'd say the word is getting out. But is moving the dial? The person who'd "binged it" told me he hasn't been back to Bing. Google still safely has 65 percent of search share for itself. Google's a hard habit to break.

In fact, Google's not just a habit. It's a virtual best friend for many people. In the past, we depended on friends, family and professionals for advice. These days, we turn to search engines for a range of issues, from deeply personal questions to trivia answers. Google is the leading search engine. Like a best friend, Google always there for us, listening and offering help. Google challengers like Bing are the equivalent of someone you don't know walking up and saying they want to be your new best friend. Thanks, but I'm covered.

Still, friends do change. And at the very least, the competition is making Google sit up and take notice. After many rave reviews about search features that Google itself already offers (wow -- Bing lets you track flights!), Google rolled out a new consumer-oriented guide to its various search products (we let you track flights too!). And if things like Bing's new search-by-picture feature were to catch on, Google would likely roll out its own version.

It's not just Bing that's making Google react. Facebook lurks out there on the horizon, a community now 300 million strong, with social networking information that potentially could be used to make for better search results. It's data that Facebook holds to itself, one reason behind Google pushing a rival OpenSocial movement. As people have turned to Facebook for "people searching," an area the company wants to excel at, we've also seen Google rollout improvements to its own people search capabilities. Gotten your Google Profile yet?

Then there's Twitter. The company is appearing in so many places these days, in the way Google did during its early years, that I sometimes say Twitter when I mean Google. But how's all that supposedly self-indulgent twittering likely to make Google nervous?

Well, lots of those tweets are actually searches. Many people tweet questions out to their friends, families and others they follow on Twitter. Plenty get back answers, quickly, and from trusted sources. Twitter's not just a new best friend. It's access to hundreds of best friends, for advice.

Outside of tweeting, there's also Twitter Search itself. Was that an earthquake? Is your cable down? Twitter can tell you answers to such "real time" events even faster than Google.

Let's also remember Apple. All that "there's an app for that" stuff? Change "app" to "google" and you better understand the revolution happening via the iPhone. Google has seen mobile searches skyrocket since the iPhone came in, helped by Google being the default search tool. But want restaurant reviews? The UrbanSpoon app gives them to you better than Google can. Eventful's app keeps you updated on local happenings. There's a "google" for seemingly anything you might be interested in -- but they're not all run by Google.

It's easy to assume that when it comes to search, there's Google and nothing else. That was never the case. Some of Google's former competitors have fallen by the wayside, but new competitors like Facebook, Twitter and literally hundreds of smaller companies -- along with re-energized ones like Microsoft -- keep it from resting on its laurels.

My Father in law is a genius

My father in law made a switch to be put in line with an inverter and a battery and it shuts off the battery juice to the inverter thus no drain on the battery from the inverter.

a neat wind power article

Duke To Build 200-MW Top of the World Wind Farm, Ninth in the US
North Carolina, United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]

Duke Energy said this week that it plans to build and operate a 200-megawatt (MW) wind energy project near Casper, Wyoming. Known as the Top of the World Windpower Project, it will be the company's ninth U.S. wind farm and its fourth in Wyoming.

The project will feature at least 66 G.E. turbines with a capaity of 1.5 MW each.

Duke Energy will construct the Top of the World project on approximately 17,000 acres of private and public land it holds under long-term lease in Converse County. The project could reach commercial operation by the end of 2010.

PacifiCorp, which operates as Rocky Mountain Power in Wyoming, will purchase all of the electricity generated by the Top of the World project and the associated renewable energy credits (RECs) as part of a 20-year power purchase agreement.

PacifiCorp previously contracted to buy all of the output and RECs from Duke Energy's nearby 99-megawatt (MW) Campbell Hill Windpower Project, scheduled to come on line later this year.

"We've always believed Duke Energy could become a major player in the wind power industry if we adhered to our strategy for organic as well as opportunistic growth," said Wouter van Kempen, president of Duke Energy Generation Services (DEGS), a business unit of Duke Energy that owns and develops renewable energy assets. "Including Top of the World - which will be our second-largest renewable energy facility - we'll have committed to four new wind projects totaling more than 360 megawatts this year alone."

Duke Energy expects to start construction of the Top of the World project in late 2009 or early 2010, upon receipt of all necessary permits. The project will feature at least 66 G.E. turbines with a capaity of 1.5 MW each. These units represent the balance of turbines Duke Energy arranged to purchase from G.E. in a procurement order announced in September 2008. Negotiations for the remainder of the wind turbine supply to be used at Top of the World are underway.

However, the initial expense in creating the solar panel array can be quite high, especially if one buys a prefabricated panel, and become a victim of shameless profiteering. A single solar panel can go for around $500 to $800, with the most expensive parts being the solar cells (but only because you really need a lot of them). After the solar panel is up and working, maintenance cost is quite low. The problem is that an ordinary house will need more than just one panel.

For every problem, there is a solution. The answer to lowering the costs of installing a solar panel would be to build one from the ground up. There are hundreds of Do It Yourself kits in the market, and these come in different sizes. Should one feel doubtful about their building skills, they could always buy the smallest ones first, which are usually used as educational tools. They cost a lot less and the task would not be as overwhelming.

The next size to try would be the type of solar panels that will power only specific equipment or appliances, like the water heater or the Jacuzzi. After a while, the builder will probably get the hang of it and be churning out panels to cover the roof.

A school DIY kit often costs less than $100, and a full solar panel will cost about $200. Even if they mess up one kit and be able to succeed only on the second kit, they would still be able to save at least $100, though it really is not as hard as it seems. With a bit of practice, anyone can do it.

Another advantage of building the solar panel is the satisfaction of being able to create something useful with one’s own hands. It may not be a work of art in the first few tries, but it’s really not a beauty contest anyway.

A neat new article

The green energy trend has certainly picked up momentum in the last year alone. Alternative energy researches that have long collected dust or put in the back burner are now taking the world stage, front and center. One of the leading contenders for this new (and hopefully, sustained) green energy research is finding a way to be more efficient in turning the sun’s light into electricity.

The idea that light can be turned into electricity (the process is more scientifically known as the “photovoltaic” effect) is nothing new, but the efficiency of the process has always been a little off. In the beginning, the first solar cell had a conversion efficiency of 1%. This means that only 1% of the light that is absorbed is actually turned into electricity. Today, that rate has come a long way, about 40%. It really isn’t comparable (yet) to the way fossil fuels can generate electricity but there are a number of advantages to sourcing electricity from the sun than from fossil fuels, like being environmentally friendly and easily installed.

Wind is growing

Signs of Impact
Project numbers and developer feedback indicate that the economic stimulus package is on the right path to bolster activity within the wind industry.
by Kathy Belyeu, AWEA
Washington, D.C. United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]

On July 9, the U.S. Treasury Department and U.S. Department of Energy released the guidance for how wind farm developers can access cash grants in lieu of the investment tax credit. The grants, which were part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA, also known as the stimulus bill), are expected to help get wind projects built while capital markets remain difficult. The program began accepting applications at the end of July.
