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.
This is the solar-powered telemetry system for the Elizabeth River monitoring station. It uses either cellular or satellite communications. I will try to find out which.
The 100 kW Solar Electric System @ Foodtown Shopping Center of Denville, NJ was installed by Bysolar, Inc.

These concave mirrors concentrate the light (& heat) from the sun towards the tube in the center. The tube is filled with a synthetic heat transfer oil, heated by the mirror's light to around 750 F (400 C). This superheated oil is then pumped from the solar field to a nearby power block, where the oil's heat is converted to high-pressure steam in a series of heat exchangers. This steam pushes a conventional steam turbine, creating electricity.

Founded by Hrvatski Telekom and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the HRK 400,000 project "Solar Sunflowers" is intended to educate school children about renewable energy sources through the installation of ten small solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Seguin Storage owner Timothy Oglesby utilized a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to help with the photovoltaic array (solar panels) to reduce the cost of operating his storage facility in Seguin, Texas, on March 24, 2020. This is the first phase of the complex that will have additional storage buildings with plans to install arrays on each.
Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) was used FY 2017 for a grant amount of $18,729.75 toward the
30.7 kW Solar Photovoltaic system placed on the roof of a new climate-controlled storage facility. The solar array produces an average of 44,193 kWh annually. Based on an average price of $0.089 per kWh the small business grantee should save $3,933.17 per year. The grant was 25% of the total eligible project costs ($74,919) for a total of $18,729.75. The return on investment for this project is 19 years.
RD is committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America. Through our programs, we help rural Americans in many ways by offering loans, grants, and loan guarantees to help create jobs and support economic development and essential services such as housing; health care; first responder services and equipment; and water, electricity, and communications infrastructure. To learn more information about RD, please see rd.usda.gov
RUS provides the much-needed infrastructure or infrastructure improvements to rural communities. These include water and waste treatment, electric power, and telecommunications services. All of these services help to expand economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for rural residents.

Research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) includes development of materials and batteries for stationary energy storage applications, as well battery testing, as shown in this photo. With growing national and international interest in clean, sustainable energy, stationary energy storage will be vital to adding renewables (wind and solar power, etc.) to the power grid, and perhaps even to making the smart grid a reality.

IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 02 2013: Heliostats surround Tower 1 at the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility. Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 170,000 heliostat mirrors spread over 4,000 hectares, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to drive specially adapted steam turbines The project, developed by Bechtel, will cost $2.2 billion and be the largest solar farm in the world (photo Gilles Mingasson/Getty Images for Bechtel).
Peng Zhou, a postdoctoral research fellow, sets up an experiment on the roof of the Wilson Student Team Project Center on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday morning, October 14, 2022.
Zhou and other members of Zetian Mi’s research group are using the large magnifying glass to focus the sunlight directly on a small semiconductor covered in water. The solar energy is used to separate the hydrogen and oxygen into separate elements. “Basically, we’re using green energy to extract hydrogen from water,” said Professor Zetian Mi.

When the Planet Solar arrived in Tahiti I did a few KAP images of the ship in Papeete's harbour, and all went smooth and fast. The next morning one of my KAP shots was on the front page of the local daily newspaper: La Dépêche de Tahiti, I met with the crew and the inventor of this unique solar boat cruising around the world with just the energy of the sun and was offered to embark from Tahiti to Bora Bora for a "KAP trip" : 36 hours, 3000 shots, 25 Gb of HD space, 4 kites (PFK nighthawk, PFK super delta, dan Leigh Delta R8 and Flow Form 16), 5 rigs, 5 cameras ( Sony Nex 5, Sigma DP1, Ricoh GX 100, GoProHD, Leica M9) 8 KAP sessions from sunrise to sunset ... A great crossing with a Fantastic crew on an exceptional boat...KAP at its best under the sun with a great subject.
Check Day 180, 181 and 182 of the ship's logbook at www.planetsolar.org/no_cache/en/be-part-of-it/logbook.html
Arrival in Bora Bora at sunset is just unique..

Amenetou Abdoul Aziz from Tindjimbane village belongs to the Tamashak people of Mali. She is a 44 year old widow who has been raising her three children on her own ever since her husband was killed 6 years ago. She lives with her father and her brother and to get by she washes other people’s clothes, and does a little bit of commerce.
Her community chose her because they knew that she would benefit from the income of repairing and maintaining the community’s solar systems. “Besides, I am good with my hands. I have always liked to work with my hands and was always interested in learning more” she says. Although she never went to school, she can speak French in addition to her local dialect. Before coming to India she left her children with another brother and with the help of a monthly stipend given by the Barefoot College through its local partner NGO – AMADE, the children are being looked after. She started her training along with 4 other women from Mali at the end of January,2007. In this photo, she is learning to make the first circuit and to assemble the lamp.
The Barefoot Solar Engineers are also trained to repair anad maintain the solar lantern circuit and as well as the solar panels and batteries for the household systems. In the afternoons, she teaches the other women how to knit and once a week she calls home and talks with her children.

105 solar panels are installed at Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, in mid September 2010. The Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, received a grant from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to have solar panels installed to help reduce their carbon footprint and to have cost effective electric power for the hospital. REAP provides grants for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance. The program also provides funds to agricultural producers and rural small business to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. The expected cost savings using solar power for the hospital’s electrical needs is expected to reduce the facility’s operating expenses by 50%. Courtesy photo by Julie Holland.

Xinjing Huang, Graduate Student Research Assistant for Electrical and Computer Engineering, displays a transparent solar cell at ECE Professor Stephen Forrest’s lab at 1437 EECS on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI on September 3, 2021.
The new process for generating organic photovoltaics (OPVs) incorporates non-fullerene acceptors and is resulting in expected operation lifetimes of 30 years, making them suitable for niche applications that including installation inside building windows.
OPVs are flexible, can be manufactured relatively inexpensively and recent developments by Forrests group have proven them to be semi-transparent as well as efficient.

Meanwhile signs of hope spring up, thanks to the policies of a more progressive Ontario government. Big oil hates renewables because they're distributed: it's not easy to centralize the profits to keep the oil barons rich. Many small and medium businesses share both the work and the rewards. We all need to raise our voices -- and vote with our dollars -- to make sure that big oil's lies and manipulation don't keep us from doing the right thing.
