Seguin Storage owner Timothy Oglesby utilized a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to help with the photovoltaic array (solar panels) to reduce the cost of operating his storage facility in Seguin, Texas, on March 24, 2020. This is the first phase of the complex that will have additional storage buildings with plans to install arrays on each.
Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) was used FY 2017 for a grant amount of $18,729.75 toward the
30.7 kW Solar Photovoltaic system placed on the roof of a new climate-controlled storage facility. The solar array produces an average of 44,193 kWh annually. Based on an average price of $0.089 per kWh the small business grantee should save $3,933.17 per year. The grant was 25% of the total eligible project costs ($74,919) for a total of $18,729.75. The return on investment for this project is 19 years.

IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 05 2013: An aerial view of Tower 1 and its heliostats at the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility. The top of Tower 1's is "lit" as steam blow tests are in progress.
Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts gross, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 173,500 heliostat mirrors spread over approximately 3,500 acres, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to turn a conventional steam turbine. The project – owned by NRG Solar, Google and BrightSource Energy – is currently the largest solar thermal plant under construction in the world. The project is being constructed by Bechtel.

Thanks for all the views , comments etc , over the last month, while we were away , the date was out as time zone etc hadn't been altered !!!!
Tech info .... from about 30000 odd feet somewhere between Munich and Singapore airports , on the way out ...... light was as was in late evening , no messing etc
Good chat with people sitting behind who were curious about pic :)))))
Very Big Thanks to Abby @ " The Flight Centre " Chester , who co-ordinated the hols fine style , superb Customer Service!
Also !!!! Big Thanks to Singapore Airlines , Amazing Cabin Crews on all flights!!!!!!!!
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.

Adjacent to the now demolished site of Britains last deep coal mine different types of energy production now dominate the landscape. Fields of solar panels are seen catching the last of a days glorious sunshine, whilst in the distance adjacent to the old disused Ferrybridge Coal fired Power Station the first of two waste incinerators is now at work.
We took the big step with Lumina Solar out of Baltimore, MD. What you can't see in this pic is the solar panel installer was being buffetted by strong 20+mph winds!! These guys were true professionals!! Amazing!!

Solar Savings: A Solar Innovation Story from ExtraSpace.com is a new infographic by InfoNewt and designer Jeremy Yingling. This one tells the story of how the company is adding solar panels to the roof space on some of it’s self storage facilities all across the country. The environmental, financial and community benefits are huge, and this was only the first year of a multi-year plan.
Extra Space Storage is on a mission to produce solar powered clean energy and reduce the carbon footprint of our 850+ self storage facilities. We aim to install 20,000 solar panels this year, and increase the pace of panel installation every year. Energy efficient clean power is good for our customers and our neighborhoods, our planet, and our investors. By the end of 2011 this program will save 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 100 acres of fir trees.

El Cerrito High School likes to #LetTheSunShineIn. The morning sun is peeking around the corner of one section of new panels being installed over the parking area. When brought on-line, these additional panels will produce over 200,000 kWh of energy annually bringing the total production at the school to roughly 700,000 kWh per year.

Today we installed solar panels on our home and will soon be drawing most of our electrical needs from the sun.
One of those solar powered sidewalk lights from the 99¢ store.
They are not even worth 99¢. This one is having its first anniversary (of storage in a drawer), when their useful life expectancy is actually somewhere between one month and one day. After a full day out in the sun and a mere ½ hour after sunset it could cast rays of light a few inches onto a curved white surface that required an ISO of 12800 at f /8 & 1/100th of a second to photograph. I was fortunate that it could still pose for this photo. Another ¼ hour later and it emitted no light at all.
These appear to be solar powered, could be new as look quite different to the ones I have seen in the past.

IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 05 2013: An aerial view of Tower 1 and its heliostats at the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility. Tower 1's heliostast installation is nearly completed, and steam blow tests are taking place. Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 170,000 heliostat mirrors spread over 4,000 hectares, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to drive specially adapted steam turbines The project, developed by Bechtel, will cost $2.2 billion and be the largest solar farm in the world (photo Gilles Mingasson/Getty Images for Bechtel).
Solar PV system at Lick Wilmerding...this system makes roughly 1% of the school's electricity. I think every school in the US, at a minimum, should have a renewable energy project in place that is used to teach students and the school community about energy.

Also known as 'solar panels' this is one of the most popular ways to mount an off-grid photovoltaic array because it allows the home owner to easily adjust the angle and track the sun.
