| Alternative Energy Benefits Bolivian Families | |
| La Paz, Aug 30 About 50,000 rural families in Bolivia are benefiting from electric power generation through alternative means, such as wind power and solar power. |
|
| Engineer plans to replace asphalt with PV cells for renewable energy | |
| Eco Factor: Plan to install solar panels on highways. Scott Brusaw , an electrical engineer based in Sagle, Idaho, believes that adding solar panels on rooftops will only be able to generate up to 2 percent of the total electricity demands in the UK. |
|
| Chile Becoming a Hot Geothermal Market | |
| The Chilean government is getting serious about geothermal. Last week, the country`s energy minister said that Chile will support over $200 million in geothermal investments over the next two years. |
|
| Energy Storage Targets May Come to California Soon | |
| The state of California is on its way to requiring utilities to store a portion of the renewable energy they generate for off-peak usage. |
|
| Italian Solar Market Has 42 MW of Mecasolar Trackers | |
| Spanish company Grupo OPDE`s subsidiary Mecasolar, which designs, manufactures and installs solar trackers and other equipment for solar power plants in Europe and elsewhere, announced that by the end of 2010, it expects to have installed globally more than 22,000 solar trackers with a total power of 282 MW. |

| Efficient Storage of Wind Energy is in the Bag | |
| Researchers in Denmark have succeeded in storing wind energy in giant synthetic bags, reports the Danish trade newspaper Ingeniøren. |
|
| Help Wanted: Government Incentives for PV and CSP | |
| Even though solar is currently in the middle of a slow down when it comes to the manufacturing and the purchasing of panels and arrays, it still has the chance to become a big player in powering the world. Solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power (CSP) developments are already making great strides in powering parts of Europe and Asia. But the U.S. is lagging noticeably behind and will need a little push from the government to get things started, namely in financial incentives and a firm piece of climate legislation signed into law. |
|
| Solar Array Design: Parallel Wiring Opens New Doors | |
| For decades, designers of solar power systems have faced a knotty set of interlocking challenges. Solar panels produce DC at relatively low voltages, but inverters require a relatively high input voltage to be able to convert the power to AC and send it to the grid. Solar panels can be wired in series to sum their voltages, but their combined output fluctuates with even small mismatches among panels on a string. |
