Ishtiaque Navid, PhD student, working in the Molecular Bean Epitaxy Lab in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday, October 14, 2022. Navid and Pan are members of Professor Zetian Mi’s research group. In the background is first year PhD student Yuyang Pan.
In the lab they are growing Gallium nitride (GaN) based nanostructures by molecular beam epitaxy.

{Solar Hot Water} Carringon Middle School, located in Durham North Carolina, houses over 1000 students from grades 6-8. The 8-panel solar hot water system was designed with the school’s cafeteria as its central focus. The cafeteria is the campus’s main source for hot water use, rolling out thousands of meals a week. Our structure now supplements their demand with water that has been heated by the sun, and stored for on-demand use in the cafeteria kitchen. BRE’s solar thermal structure is expected to save the equivalent of about 400,000 gallons of natural gas in 2010, as well as reduce over 8,500

Bold Nebraska and Pipeline Fighters installed solar panels in the path of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, on Diana and "Stix" Steskal's Prairierose Farm near Atkinson, NE on Saturday, Sept. 16.
Donate $25 now to put solar in the path of KXL: bit.ly/solarxl
This second Solar XL project installation follows the first solar panels that were installed on the farm of Jim and Chris Carlson on the KXL pipeline route. Details for the 3rd Solar XL installation site announced soon!
The families partnered with Solar XL project sponsors Bold Nebraska, 350.org, Indigenous Environmental Network, CREDO, and Oil Change International to put renewable energy directly in the pipeline’s path. Solar XL underscores the need to center solutions to climate change while rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline and resisting the expansion of the fossil fuel industry.

This was once a vibrant school...educational funding is now going towards
million plus BMW 7 series for the Ministers instead!
Riverdale, SPG Solar, photovoltaic solar installation.
California commercial, industrial, solar power, spgsolar.com,
A 300 MWp (about 250 MWAC) utility-scale solar photovoltaic power station in San Bernardino County California. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada and adjacent to the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility.
The project uses approx 3.2 million panels from First Solar, an amount similar to the 250 MWAC Moapa Southern Paiute Solar Project.
Solar farm:
TypeFlat-panel PV
fixed tilt
Site area1,685 acres (682 ha)
Power generation:
Nameplate capacity:300 MWp, ~250 MWAC
Capacity factor:30.0% (average 2017-2019)
Annual net output:656 GW·h, 390 MW·h/acre
This solar thermal unit is one of several installed on the roof of a York Housing Authority single-room occupancy building. The tubes are filled with propylene glycol, which doesn't freeze and which will be heated by the sun, pumped through the system and help heat the building's water.
Thanks to a $2 million competitive, energy-specific American Recovery and Reinvestment Act fund, the Housing Authority of the City of York has installed photovoltaic/solar panels and solar thermal units to service one of its single-occupancy buildings on 449 East King Street. The 24 solar panels, which are now active, have replaced the 93 apartment units' wall air-conditioning units and will also help heat the apartment units. The solar thermal units will help heat water for the building.

I made this picture in passing and only when I got home noticed this wasn't just a homeless person, but a high tech traveller.
This is the inside of my "power-house" (really a small shed), where the power from my 30 205-watt solar panels (6100 Watts) feed power to my batteries and are controlled and converted from 48 volt DC to 110/120 volt AC. Below, just out of this image, are my batteries; about 1350 Ah at 48 volts. Since we are too far from PNM power lines (they wanted $36,000 to run a line to our place), we are entirely off-grid, relying on the batteries to handle nights and cloudy days. If we are careful, we can go 3 or 4 fairly cloudy days before needing to run the generator.
This system can handle up to about 7600 Watts output continuously for the entire ranch. Most of the time, this is plenty. But almost everything we have is electric and we have some that draw pretty big loads (clothes dryer 4500 watts, oven 4000 watts, hot-tub 4000-6000 watts, well pump 3000 watts) so if we don't pay attention, sometimes we pop the circuit breakers and have to reset them. This is really only a problem if I am in the shower when it happens!
