A portable solar power generator capable of producing from 100 to 1600 watts with up to 64amp of power and can be daisy-chained together when power requirements are greater.
In November 2014 we installed a 4200 W Solaflex tracking array of photovoltaics. Photos in this album document it through the year.
On the day depicted here, just before the winter solstice, we generated 21.1 kWhr of power... not bad!
Premier Horgan visited the Lower Nicola Indian Band School, where 330 solar panels are installed on the roof of the gymnasium. This is BC’s largest community-owned solar panel system, consisting of 330 panels of photovoltaic panels that generate up to 85.8 kilowatts of electricity. The Premier also took questions from students during his visit.

Premier John Horgan visited the Upper Nicola Band and viewed the site of a proposed $30-million solar power project. If members of the Upper Nicola Band approve the project by referendum, it would be the largest solar installation in Western Canada and could power 5,000 homes.
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.

These brand new, #solarpower #busstop #shelters have been going up around #Peoria. The #solar panel (just barely visible at the top) powers #LED lights at night. I think they're really cheerful and look very sharp! #infrastructure #southpeoria #transit #bus

urbandetailspeoria: #wcbu reports each shelter costs $6500, which is not bad at all.
quicksolar: That's cool!

Willow Bend Environmental Education Center
Coconino County
"Willow Bend is a nonprofit environmental education center founded by the Coconino Natural Resource Conservation District. Our mission is to provide education outreach services that build environmental awareness and an ethic of responsible stewardship of our natural and cultural resources."
"Willow Bend is located at Flagstaff’s Sawmill Park, part of Coconino County Parks & Recreation Department. Certified as “backyard wildlife habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation, our gardens feature a small pond and plants native to the Colorado Plateau — unique communities such as desert scrub, meadow, forest, and native edible and heritage crops.
We lead by example with our passive-solar, straw-bale education center, as well as by our low-water native gardens, on-demand water heater, energy star office equipment, energy-efficient lighting, composting, and more."

Solar home energy systems need the least maintenance. They are not fuel-powered so no need to buy the refills. More so, it does not cause pollution just like what the rest of the traditional electrical forms do. Photovoltaic cells are becoming increasingly better at collecting sufficient radiation from the sun even on overcast or stormy days. One company in particular, Uni-Solar, has developed solar collection arrays for the home that work well on inclement days, by way of a technologically more advanced system that stores more energy at one time during sunlit days than previous or other arrays.
Photovoltaic cells—those black squares an array of which comprises a solar panel—are getting more efficient, and gradually less expensive, all the time, thanks to ever-better designs which all them to focus the gathered sunlight on a more and more concentrated point. The size of the cells is decreasing as their efficiency rises, meaning that each cell becomes cheaper to produce and at once more productive. As far as the aforementioned cost, the price of producing solar-generated energy per watt hour has come down to $4.00 at the time of this writing. Just 17 years ago, it was nearly double that cost.
Solar panels on the roof of a stable in Croatia offer hope that remote communities can access power at a fraction of the cost of extending the electrical grid.

New solar Kenya’s first solar-powered “bubble” drier, improves bean quality and commercial value, retaining nutritious qualities before they are turned into a porridge flour. It has been donated to farmers and partners shown in a training session here at ICIPE campus in Nairobi on December 9th, as part of a project “Making Value Chains Work for Food and Nutrition Security of Vulnerable Populations in East Africa,” which aims to reach around five million small holder farmers in Uganda and Kenya benefiting 50,000 rural and urban consumers.
The project is supported by BMZ and GIZ; The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health and CGIAR donors. It is a joint project between the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance initiative and DAPA-Linking Farmers to Markets. The project is led by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), in collaboration with The University of Hohenheim (UHOH), University of Göttingen (UGOE), Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) and Ugandan National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO).
