Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski and Portland General Electric CEO Peggy Fowler install the first solar panel in Oregon's Solar Highway.
I went up on the roof to deal with two small leaks which had resumed
again with the recent storms. I found our PV solar panels to be extra
clean and decided to get a close up shot of them.
The Solar array will be used to trickle charge the lithium battery bank in the Kimberly Kamper trailer while in storage. www.kimberleykampers.com/
A future project will be to add a battery and separate MPPT charger to power a 12 v garden fountain pump and outdoor LED lighting.

Trying out a 150Wp #solar panel at my apartment. Max today was 100W. Have to figure out a way to mount it as a window. #solarenergy #solarpanel #green #electricity #sustainable #apartment #12V #battery #offgrid
San Antonio, Texas: This a small part of a 445 acre solar (PV) farm. It is the first of 7 know as the Alamo Solar Project. It contains 167,680 panels rated at 295 watts each and the total output is 41MW.
Solar sailers are the newest toys of the Algorian elite... The model shown here is the "Guilty Pleasure" of the infamous guerilla banker Gilga Meshaneed.
Made with MLCAD.
Nine of the twelve solar panels. This is a 1.6 kilowatt system. After the rebates and tax credits it will cost us $7,500 or so. But then we can start selling back power and watching the meter run backwards.
From the local rockshop/antique store comes this 4" wide solarized glass medicine bottle. This demonstrates the two color fluorescence of solarized glass discovered by Bob Fosbury.
Contains:
Manganese? (FL Red, Green >Green, UVa)
Shown with 385nm UVa flashlight directed from the right and into the rear side of the bottle.
Key:
WL = White light (halogen + LED)
FL = Fluoresces
PHOS = Phosphorescent
Green = 535nm,
UVa = 368nm (LW), UVb = 311nm (MW), UVc = 254nm (SW)
'>' = "stimulated by:", '!' = "bright", '~' = "dim"

Some of the 90 solar panels recently installed at Ruby Falls as part of the environmental initiative. Ruby Falls is proud to be the first attraction in the U.S. to achieve Green Globe Certification for their environmental efforts. More information on Ruby Falls can be found at www.rubyfalls.com.
Another closer scene.
People are not allowed to go into deep waters. It is clearly demarkated with railings. As crowed is heavy special guards are moving in water boats inside the pool.

This solar farm was built on top of a landfill located in Rehoboth, MA. The landfill had not been used for decades and will now provide clean renewable energy to customers nearby. The system size is about 2.4 MW DC. Photo by Lucas Faria.

We get energy from a variety of sources. Make a photograph of the energy that's most important to you.
an experimental solar panel installation nearby.
I actually tried to get a shot where the sun reflects in it - until I remembered that the panels where self orientating. So the only position to see the sun in it would be where one casts a shadow on it. Fail.

Even today, despite somewhat unpredictable weather clouds, turbulence, and fluctuating brightness I managed to capture some interesting details… A gigantic group of sunspots AR 4294/4296/4298 is currently visible on the disk, one of the largest in the last 10 years. This type of formation carries a large amount of magnetic energy and represents a potential source of major (M or X-class) eruptions, which propagate CMEs. The Sun is currently experiencing a high-activity phase of solar cycle 25, making observation particularly interesting: structures are evolving rapidly, and new formations sometimes appear from one day to the next.
Acquisition: Cloudy, fairly unstable seeing, variable turbulence.

These slim high powered solar panels and the perfect addition to your next off the grid project! The output is 10W at 18V, 0.55A making these small panels 1/3 the cost per Watt over similar sized panels. Best of all, these are waterproof, weather proof, and mild-impact shatter proof.
Each solar panel is framed with aluminum and has a stripped cable pair.
Our brand new solar panels. :-)
Nameste Solar in Boulder put 'em in, and they're coordinating everything. The electrician's supposed to be out in the next week or two to get the inverter in and then the inspection. Then the power company is supposed to get us our two-way meter, and we'll be set! Yay!
Oddly enough... the local power company has a different payment schedule for those of us who generate power than from those who done. The interesting thing is that the rate, per kilowatt hour, is LESS than the normal one, but there is a monthly fee. Still low, but it's different than before. We'll see how it works out in the long run...

Trying out a solar filter on a Novoflex 400mm m42 mount lens. Can just make out a small sunspot. The April 8, 2024 eclipse is coming...
