Construction of the Solar Decathlon 2009 houses - 1 week before opening - on the Mall, Washington, D.C.
On the morning of Friday 13th May my friend Stuart tipped me off that there was a huge looping prominence visible on the Sun. It was cloudy at the time but I could see a few gaps possibly heading my way so I set up the solar telescope just in case. What followed was a hugely frustrating imaging session, with strong gusts of wind and lots of cloud scudding past the Sun every time I started to capture video. My laptop screen also hadn't been fixed yet so it was incredibly difficult to get focus and exposure right. By the time I got a clear look at the Sun the large prominence in question had lifted off and vanished! However, I manage to get some ok shots out of the imaging session.
Coronado PST and ASI120MC fitted with a 2 x Barlow. I shot either 500 or 1000 frame videos with SharpCap and stacked the best 50% of the frames using Autostakkert! 3. Processing was done in Lightroom, Photoshop CS2 and Fast Stone Image Viewer.
solarization- I used the NIK solarization filter. These were kinda fun because I remember do them in the darkroom back in high school. I prefer this is black and white over the color version because the color one needs more more color correction still, I like how the subject stands out more from the background.
This is a picture of the solar panel canopies on top of Mowatt Lane Garage. The University of Maryland has been committed to improving its sustainability through new innovations and practices that reduce emissions, waste, and find new and cleaner ways to produce energy. These solar panel canopies were installed on Regents Drive, Terrapin Trail and Mowatt Lane Garages to produce more than 2 megawatts of energy for the campus. Partnering with WGL Energy and Maryland Energy Administration, the university was able to install over 7,000 solar panels on the roofs of the garages.
This innovation coincides with the 9th Sustainable Development Goal by building and promoting sustainable infrastructures and innovations. The university's commitment to the President's purchased Energy Initiatives focuses largely on the Climate Action plan to make sure that all of the university's purchased energy is from renewable sources by the year 2020. The solar panel canopies on the roof will combine their generated energy with that of the solar panels on the campus' other buildings to produce nearly 4 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy for the campus yearly. The solar panels are helping to alleviate the campus' reliance on fossil fuels for energy, mitigating the effects and persistence of climate change and global warming. This can help to promote the sustainability of the university as more clean energy practices are put into use and renewable energy is promoted. The promotion of new energy sources on campus promotes new and cleaner living standards for both the present and future generations. Taking the time to promote sustainable practices and infrastructure creates the necessary change to help educate the public on the importance of making the switch for the health of the planet. Taking the knowledge that we can gain from implementing these strategies and plans, we can pass it along to other campuses and states, and even countries to help promote a more global change.

Taken in the Philippines. Check out my Solar Eclipse sets. The partial solar eclipse in the Philippines started at 8:33am and ended at 11:02. Maximum peak was at 9:44am.
Solar Eclipse shots from Burlington, MA (Boston northern suburb). I had a UV filter two neutral density filers on my lens.
Selection of the right battery is the way to successful and efficient operation of the Solar Systems. Since all the components in a Solar System depend on their batteries, these come in various types by construction and application.In order to provide uninterrupted power supply during a power failure, BatteryBack-up Systems play a major role. These systems use Deep Cycle Batteries which require very less or no maintenance. To avoid the batteries being
overly discharges or charged, controller is used.For more information visit www.ecosmart-intl.com

Solar Energy World held the Solar Stars Soiree Thursday September 27, 2012 at Turf Valley Country Club in Ellicott City, MD.
Solar panels were being installed for the Alternative Energy program at BCTC's Leestown Campus Friday, October 11, 2013.
The prototype “Patio 2.12” was Andalucía Team’s proposal for the 2012 Solar Decathlon Competition (SDE 2012), that was held in Madrid during September 2012, where it was awarded several prizes like the first one in Energy Efficiency.
The team comprised a group of teachers and students from four Andalusian Universities. It worked for two years in the design and construction of a housing prototype that could be an example of several concepts at the same time: energy efficiency, architectural integration of solar systems, intermediate scale of prefabrication and a today´s interpretation of traditional Mediterranean way of living and building. Patio 2.12 was intended to be a compendium of energy, sustainability and passive conditioning devices.

The solar powered electric experimental airplane, Solar impulse 2, landed at the Goodyear Airport in Arizona. It is being displayed to the public on Friday and Saturday May 6th and 7th, 2016.
found objects and some bought ones (high heat spray enamel, duct tape, heavy duty foil)
