Future deployment of distributed solar hinges on electricity rate design
2015-07-09 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Future distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment levels are highly sensitive to retail electricity rate design, according to a newly released report by researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). The study also explores the feedback effects between retail electricity rates and PV deployment, and suggests that increased solar deployment can lead to changes in PV compensation levels that either accelerate or dampen further deployment....

Blue and Green: In 2010 the BBC ran a radio series called A History of the World in 100 Objects. Based on exhibits from the British Museum, the series stretched from pre-historic artefacts to a Russian revolutionary plate. Object 100 though was chosen to represent the future. Neil MacGregor the British art historian and Director of the British Museum decided that this object should be a solar powered lamp representing human ingenuity and the challenges that we face in the twenty-first century.

Smart Solar Modules meet 2014 NEC Rapid Shutdown safety standards.
2015-07-09 14:31:10| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Via technology built into junction box, NEC 2014 690.12-compliant Trinaswitch modules foster seamless integration for safety and compliance and feature upgradeable functionality, such as string flexibility, and performance optimization features. PV module parameters, such as overvoltage, over-temperature, and overcurrent, are constantly monitored. PV-Safe mode is entered upon detection of safety hazard, which is reported to Cloud Connect for single module or system shutdown assessment.
