DIY Green Solar Energy

FREMONT (CBS 5) — After filing for bankruptcy last year, Fremont solar company Solyndra still owes American taxpayers half a billion dollars. But CBS 5 caught them destroying millions of dollars worth of parts. At Solyndra’s sprawling complex in Fremont, workers in white jumpsuits were unwrapping brand new glass tubes used in solar panels last week. They are the latest, most cutting-edge solar technology, and they are being thrown into dumpsters. Forklifts brought one pallet after another piled high with the carefully packaged glass. Slowly but surely it all ended up shattered. And it’s not a few loads. Hundreds of thousands of tubes on shrink-wrapped pallets will meet a similar demise. Solyndra paid at least million for the specialized glass. A CBS 5 crew found one piece lying in the parking lot. Solyndra still owes the German company that made the tubes close to another million. So why is a bankrupt company that owes a fortune to creditors, including American taxpayers, throwing away millions of dollars worth of assets? Solyndra is not commenting. But court documents reveal the company received permission from the bankruptcy trustee to abandon the high grade glass, the court agreeing that it was of “inconsequential value” because the cost of storing them exceeds their value. An employee for Heritage Global Partners, the company in charge of selling Solyndra’s assets, told CBS 5 they conducted an exhaustive search for buyers but no one wanted them. But how …

My solar setup part two of two.

greenpowerscience.com The starting temperature was 80f (27 C) and a full boil was obtained in 90 seconds (+-10 seconds). The dish is a 10 feet (3 Meters) diameter with a large acrylic mirror for the center. Focal length is 5 feet (1.5 Meters) from the base. The mesh panels are covered with Part A and B material from our website and also regular .118 acrylic mirror sheets. The focal point is 1″ diameter from the acrylic mirror and 4″-8″ diameter from the satellite dish. The vacuum tube holds 20 ounces and it was full.

tinyurl.com How would you like to save money on your electric bills? Paying virtually nothing each month even? Or switching only part of your power system over from the grid, you can when you make solar power. Buying the panels or building them it’s your choice. Many people do this and you can too. In order to make solar power your energy choice you can build your own solar panels if you so wish or you can buy them. Looking around to find the best deal will take some time. But don’t forget to always consult the experts out there before paying out money for your choice. Wind and solar power are making a huge comeback, because the power prices are always rising. Companies charge you large amounts for supplying power that you can get for free. So why not switch over to solar or wind or both as a choice for your household electricity. Solar power is an option that will have you choosing between three types of solar cells. Crystals in either the single or multi cell, and silicone are all that are available at present. You can even buy them out of recycled material if you wish. However, did you know that these solar panels are seemingly very easy to make? Yes, and it doesn’t cost you that much money either to make solar power. But if you’re looking to run your full household off of solar energy, you may want to plan carefully first. That’s where those expert advice comes in. How many solar panels will you need in order to run your whole house? Should you combine it with wind …

Some FOOL thinks cleaning solar panels actually matters!! LOL !!

Well, I think I’ve finally finished my home solar project. After doing a lot of reading, I believe I have an otherwise decent and safe system. I tried to design it around the NEC’s Article 690 as much as “practical”. I’ve added additional components, and changed a few things around. It’s been an enjoyable and worthwhile learning experience. I read “free” books on design, operation & maintenance, and safety, along with referencing the National Electrical Code in relation to PV systems. After playing with my new Grid Tie inverter, I’m convinced that it’s a good addition to any system that produces 500+ Watts of power. My system is not the best and my way is not the only way to implement a home system, but I hope my ideas helps someone along the way. For those that wish to truly learn about Stand-Alone PV system design etc, the following are excellent free books I downloaded and used: 1.) Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems – (by Sandia National Labs) 2.) Maintenance And Operation of Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems (Sandia) 3.) Working Safely with Photovoltaic Systems (Sandia National Labs) 4.) Photovoltaic Power Systems And the 2005 NEC: Suggested Practices Simply google the titles and download the pdf’s, and your good to go. Good Fortune, and have fun. Latest Diagram: dc112.4shared.com

This is a frequently asked question. Can a parabolic mirror zap a plane or blind a pilot in the sky. NO they cannot.
