Just south of Hatch Warren, across the motorway, is this 120 acre (52 hectares) field, currently of rape seed. The buildings on the other side of the field are an anaerobic digester plant. There are plans to fill the field with an array of solar panels, that it is hoped would provide electric power for up to 5,600 homes.
Note made in 2020; the anaerobic digester was "sold" to the local Council on "green" credentials that turned out to be wholly spurious - the food waste that fuels it was supposed to be local, but is being brought in, in 44-tonne lorries, from all over the southern half of the UK. The digestate that is the end result of the process was supposed to be used on local farms, but is being shipped out, again in 44-tonne lorries, again across the south of the UK. The plastic bags that a lot of the food waste is delivered in are sent to Denmark for recycling, and the "odourless" digester has in fact blighted the lives of nearby residents with continuous disgusting smells. Very green - not. The planned solar panel array never came to pass.
Aside from being ideal conditions for windsurfing … what do wind, waves, and sun all have in common? They are all sources of renewable energy and each will be showcased at OMSI in a new permanent, bilingual exhibit officially opening January 17, 2013. Renewable Energy/ Energía Renovable invites OMSI visitors to learn about emerging sources of energy as well as consider the tradeoffs involved in using any energy source. Interactive exhibit pieces demonstrate how alternative technologies can be integrated into the existing power grid and how visitors’ individual energy choices affect the environment.

Workers installing a solar panel near People's Energy Cooperative's new headquarters. The solar array is being built by Minnesota Three LLC which is owned by three Minnesota Electric Distribution Cooperatives: Freeborn-Mower Cooperative Services, People's Energy Cooperative and Tri-County Electric Cooperative. When finished the array will generate 500 Kilowatts of renewable energy.

Demo roofs showing highly efficient latest generation solar photovoltaic panels. If you have a south facing slanted roof and enough roof space, you could provide up to 50% or more of your houses energy needs through these panels. These cost of these solar panels is coming down every year, although they're still some-what expensive and out of average person's budget.

Arlington County Presents Innovative Solar-Powered Art
June 7 - September 1, 2007
CO2LED is designed to promote the use of alternative energy sources and recycling, as part of Arlington's environmental initiative, FreshAIRE (Arlington Initiative to Reduce Emissions). At each site, the artists will erect hundreds of solar-powered LEDs (light-emitting diodes) secured to rods topped with reused plastic bottles. They will create a soft, undulating cloud of light
Arlington County presents an environmental public artwork in three locations in Arlington County, created by artists Jack Sanders, Robert Gay, and Butch Anthony. The installations, entitled CO2LED, will be erected between June 7th and June 15 at the traffic island at Ft. Myer Drive, North Lynn Street, and North Fairfax Drive, just north of the Meade Street Bridge over Arlington Boulevard (Route 50) at the southern entrance to Rosslyn, near the Iwo Jima memorial.

New solar Kenya’s first solar-powered “bubble” drier, improves bean quality and commercial value, retaining nutritious qualities before they are turned into a porridge flour. It has been donated to farmers and partners shown in a training session here at ICIPE campus in Nairobi on December 9th, as part of a project “Making Value Chains Work for Food and Nutrition Security of Vulnerable Populations in East Africa,” which aims to reach around five million small holder farmers in Uganda and Kenya benefiting 50,000 rural and urban consumers.
The project is supported by BMZ and GIZ; The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health and CGIAR donors. It is a joint project between the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance initiative and DAPA-Linking Farmers to Markets. The project is led by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), in collaboration with The University of Hohenheim (UHOH), University of Göttingen (UGOE), Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) and Ugandan National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO).

Esenaman once used to be one of the major watering spots for the Garagum livestock; one of Turkmenistan’s most lucrative economic sectors. Now, all that the rusty steel pipes leading into the reservoir of water serve as is a reminder of its past. Climate change and harsh weather conditions dried up the devices used to collect and store water. Shepherds and herders brought their livestock elsewhere to graze, putting pressure on those land areas.
Now a solar-powered pump and renovated containment systems will provide water for the livestock to return.

A solar-powered night light I made recently. It uses:
(a) The Joule Thief circuit from here:
www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/joulethief
(b) A Super Capacitor (100 Farads !)
(c) A flexible solar cell (ebay)
(d) A PNP transistor to hold the joule thief off, while light is falling on the solar cell.

One of the priorities of the Government of Uzbekistan is to establish and develop rural health clinics, as part of its national policy on primary health care.
In response, UNDP helped to outfit four rural health clinics to become energy-efficient, including the use of solar energy, improving the reliability of power and heating.
The majority of rural health clinics in Uzbekistan face problems with interruptions to power and heating which negatively impact the quality of medical services.

Gov. Jay Inslee poses with leaders from Strata Solar as they celebrate the completion of the state's largest new solar array.
The solar array in Lind is situated on 200 acres, is the result of a partnership between Avista Utilities and Strata Solar. Strata Solar developed, owns, and operates the solar facility in Lind, which is within Avista’s service area. Avista has a power purchase agreement with Strata Solar to provide the energy generated from the solar array to Avista customers.

Posing with his iPhone in front of the recently uncovered portal of the Devonshire tunnel, soon to be reopened as part of the Two Tunnels project.
The front of the tunnel is still blocked with the access chamber, built for access when the entrance was buried under tons of earth.

Baltimore City has created the solar powered water wheel, a 100,000-pound trash-collecting device that harness solar power and the current. Debris is funneled into the device and then onto a conveyor belt that deposits it into a dumpster, which is emptied once full.
The panels feeding the heat pump of the clinic in Crosne ( outskirts of Paris, France) are made of simple black rubber tubes. They are laid on the roof and filled with a 30% glycol solution below atmospheric pressure. Together with the heat pumps they enable year-round production of hot water with outstanding efficiency !
