Pupils with sunflowers seeds.
Each "solar sunflower" will generate modest amounts of electricity and also serve as a tool for students to learn about the benefits of renewable energy. Similar devices are being installed at schools in Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zadar, Kaštel Lukšić, Krk, Pula, Križevci, Zagreb, Ivanić-Grad and Vukovar. Education on renewable energy will be provided at the ten schools by the DOOR Association and the Eko Kvarner NGO.

The last sunflower was set in motion in Tin Ujević elementary school in Zagreb.
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.

School children with sunflowers seeds.
Zadar was a logical choice as the first town for a "solar sunflower," as it is also home to the Solar Education Center created by Zadar County and UNDP in 2011 to encourage wider use of renewable energy and provide training in environmentally friendly "green jobs." Alongside training courses, the Solar Education Center hosts an energy efficiency information center that provides citizens with free information, including on the advantages and costs of solar systems, the technologies available on the Croatian market and the incentive schemes available to promote their installation.

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.

Demanding good jobs, healthier communities, and frontline justice with 100% clean, renewable energy, hundreds of New Yorkers converged on the State Capitol on Wednesday to call on Governor Cuomo and state lawmakers to support the NYS Climate & Community Protection Act (A.10342) – the nation’s strongest climate protection bill. NY Renews, a historic group of labor, environmental, and grassroots organizations, is coming together for the first time to trailblaze a new front in the fight against climate change – pushing the climate protection debate from an environmental discussion to an economic and social justice one.

Solar power was used 1986 to completely energize the 80,000 square foot Barefoot College campus at Tilonia. The College campus now is totally self-sufficient with a 40 kilowatt solar energy unit meeting all its energy needs.
A part of the Wilpena solar power station. In the boxy sheds are several diesel generators that actually do most of the electrical generation. Still, the solar is a step in the right direction.
Wind power is sustainably generating about 26% of South Australia's power in 2012, but solar power is becoming more economically competative all the time. (ramblingsdc.net/Australia/WindPower)

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.
