Water is brought to the site in 30G recycled juice drums then pumped into a 275G storage tank, seen on the right, using the shurflo transfer pump running off a solar charged battery. You can see the charge controller mounted to the wall. Most of the wiring seen goes up the wall to convenience switches.
Future plans call for some fusing, a higher rate pump, and a externally accessible spigot with PVC piping indoors.
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.

A 1962 Rexall magazine ad for a Hoffman Transolar Radio. These apparently came in at least four colors. From McCall's magazine. I find it interesting that in over 50 years, solar power has not progressed much beyond novelties and spacecraft. More about Rexall and other things you can't buy anymore from 1962 at Roadtrip-'62.
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.

Mariam Badjie from The Gambia was trained to become a barefoot solar engineer at the Barefoot College in India. Mariam returned in May, 2007 to solar electrify her community in The Gambia.
Mariama only speaks Jola, a local dialect. She is 44 years old, a mother of four, married to a farmer and illiterate. She comes from a small village, Cafenke, of about 45 houses. She says she likes to learn new things and that it’s never too late to start.
Besides learning all about solar electrification in her 6 months of training at the College, she learned many Hindi words and through her friendship with the Bolivian women even started learning Spanish words. In her spare time, she began to study the alphabet and with the help of her new friends she learned how to sign her name.

A solar powered concert in Chisinau this past weekend is just the beginning for rock band FurioSnails. Together with the EU and UNDP, the band is advocating for the use of renewable energy in the country.
My name is Santi Regmi, I live in Walling VDC, ward no. 7, Sirubari. There are 8 members in my family. My day starts with household chores then, I have 3 children so I have to send them to school. Our source of income is agriculture, I grow tomatoes.
I have experienced a significant difference after the installation of Solar MUS. Previously, we had to carry pots to get water in the morning which we don't have to do so anymore. Now we get water from the tap nearby our house. Before, we had to wake up an hour early which we don't have to anymore.
The earthquake destroyed my home but everybody in my family are safe. The local authorities recorded my home as 'completely damaged' but when they gave us the card, it was for 'partially damaged'. I haven't claimed relief from that card. Instead, I have re-applied stating that my house is completely damaged. Those authorities have already come and gone but the police said they would come to check which till now, they haven’t. So I haven't received any relief yet. My concern is regarding no help for the damaged caused by the earthquake. Others in the village have received support but I haven't.
I am very happy with the solar system. Solar has provided better access to water, we have been able to do vegetable farming nearby our house. Water supply is sufficient. Even though it is limited for a large scale farming, we can grow enough vegetables for our family.

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.

The MobE kiosk project was conceived by Jack Newman in City Light’s Conservation Resources Division and funded by the utility’s Green Up program. Green Up allows customers to invest in additional green energy from regional renewable energy generation sites by adding a small amount of money to their bill. Green Up also funds local solar energy demonstration projects as well as outreach and education for renewable energy
#China's Three Gorges Dam, one of the largest dams in the world, has become the world leader in the production of #RenewableEnergy. The group specializes in #hydropower development and operation, as well as in the development of #wind and #solar power both in China and abroad.
