#Repost @solar_edition @light_star_solar ・・・ First of a Kind in Floatovoltaic:Floating Solar Trampoline. In October 2018, a report from the World Bank Group and the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore stated that the worldwide capacity of floating solar had increased from 10 MW at the end of 2014 to 1.1 gigawatts (GW) by September 2018. The report went on to state that capacity could potentially reach 400 GW worldwide, although no time frame was provided. Norway’s Statkraft, one of Europe’s largest producers of renewable energy, plans to build its first ever floating solar facility. According to CleanTechnica news, A uniquely designed floating solar trampoline manufactured by Norwegian startup Ocean Sun has been purchased by Statkraft’s Albania unit for deployment at the Banja reservoir in Albania. The 2 MW array consists of four floating units of 0.5 MW each, at a total cost of €2.3 million. Unlike other floating solar designs based on individual panel floats that are linked together, the Ocean Sun design attaches a large number of panels on the membrane as a modular unit, which typically includes a rigid circumference frame for anchoring. The design of the Ocean Sun array includes dual-glass, silicon crystalline modules with customized junction box, cables, and attachment features. The modules are attached to the membrane using a unique fixation mechanism, the company explains. This enables good thermal contact with the water body, and the membrane is carefully designed to withstand mechanical stress and sun exposure, it adds. --------------------***-------------------- Source:https://ift.tt/2TAd2cm Photo:www.cleantechnica.com ‘All rights to go to the author of the news & image as mentioned above’ ------------------------------------------- #SolarEdition #solarpower #cleanenergy #gosolar #renewables #renewableenergy #energiasolar #energyefficiency #futureenergy #powerplant #solarproject #solarpanels #photovoltaic #solarenergy #fotovoltaica #greenenergy #solarpv #Statkraft #energialimpa #energiasolarfotovoltaica #energiafotovoltaica #sistemafotovoltaico #solarpanel #panelessolares #alternativeenergy #floatingsolar #floatovotaic #Albania #Banja

Solar Equity Group - 6 Great Reasons Why Use Solar Power

Perhaps you are happy with the status quo of today. Perhaps you feel all is fine and you don't feel the need to change a system that's worked for over a century. If you do, consider a few of these benefits to solar power and you may just recognize its potential in a somewhat more responsible, yet selfish, light. I don't care about the environment? Perhaps everything in the world is fine with your life. The last thing you care about are trees, fresh air and clean water. Heck, the water shows up every time you turn on a faucet, the heat comes on when it's cold, the light switch brings you light. What's there to worry about? Consider that this is just the problem. If you don’t care for the environment, the faucet may not bring you clean water, the heat may not go on and the car certainly will not start. If the environment is kept clean and left to do what it was intended to do, everything will continue to work fine. But get in its way and everything you thou...

Solar Equity Group - The Benefits Of Switching To Solar

As the cost of conventional sources of energy continues to rise solar power is now more than ever a clean and viable source of energy for the home and for business. Billions of dollars have been spent in the United States over the past couple of decades in promoting and developing this technology. In this article, we look at some of the benefits of solar energy. It is estimated that the cost of the equipment to power a home with solar energy is 90 percent cheaper than it was in the 1970s. And with energy bills rising rapidly it is now an increasingly attractive source of electricity. In most cases, using solar energy to provide electricity for a home involves installing special solar photovoltaic cells in the roof of your home. It is true that the initial investment is quite expensive but this money should be recouped in savings on electricity bills over time and significant savings can be made in the long-term. In sunnier areas solar power can meet and even exceed an aver...
