Microchip Technology's 14-member dsPIC33EP “GS” family of Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) delivers the performance needed to implement more sophisticated non-linear, predictive and adaptive control algorithms at higher switching frequencies. These advanced algorithms enable power supply designs that are more energy efficient and have better power supply specifications. Higher switching frequencies enable the development of physically smaller power supplies that offer higher densities and lower costs. Compared with the previous generation of DSCs, the new dsPIC33EP “GS” devices provide less than half the latency, when used in a three-pole three-zero compensator, and consume up to 80% less power in any application.
This new dsPIC33EP “GS” family includes advanced features such as Live Update Flash capability, which is especially helpful for high-availability or “always-on” systems. Live Update can be used to change the firmware of an operating power supply, including the active compensator calculation code, while maintaining continuous regulation. Variants from this new digital-power-optimized DSC family are available in an industry’s-smallest, 4 x 4 mm UQFN package for space-constrained designs.

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.

Marin Solar was founded in 2002 by Roy Phillips, a general contractor with over 9 years experience working with photovoltaic systems and over 25 years building high-end residential projects. Roy was sold on solar after installing several systems in the course of his regular work, and the results fired his imagination. The rest, as they say, is history. Since its inception, Marin Solar has grown exponentially — going from a small crew to a full team of experienced energy consultants, designers, electricians, engineers and installation specialists. Persistence, attention-to-detail, competitive pricing, satisfied customers, word-of-mouth and quality work are the reasons Marin Solar is the premier full-service solar integrator in the United States.

We’re here visiting circles. These little discs line our driveway and light up at night. They work really well.
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.

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.
