V3Solar Solar tracker A backyard installation of passive single–axis trackers in winter midday position, tilted toward the south. The tall poles allow walk-under and use of the ground space underneath the panels for plantings that thrive on protection from the intense midday summer sun at this location A solar tracker is a device that orients a payload toward the sun. Payloads can be photovoltaic panels, reflectors, lenses or other optical devices. In flat-panel photovoltaic (PV) applications, trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming sunlight and a photovoltaic panel. In concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) and concentrated solar thermal (CSP) applications, trackers are used to enable the optical components in the CPV and CSP systems. Basic concept[edit] The effective collection area of a flat-panel solar collector varies with the cosine of the misalignment of the panel with the Sun. The sun also moves through 46 degrees north and south during a year. Types of solar collector[edit]
New Bladeless Wind Turbine Claimed to be Twice as Efficient as Conventional Designs © Saphon When it comes to the future of wind power, one company thinks it looks a lot different than you would expect, and cheaper and more efficient to boot. Saphon, out of Tunisia, is interested in finding partners to mass-produce and market their unique wind energy device, based on their own Zero Blade technology. "The Zero-Blade Technology is largely inspired from the sailboat and is likely to increase the efficiency of the current wind power conversion devices. The blades are replaced by a sail shaped body while both hub and gearbox are removed." SLIDESHOW Wind Energy Today: A Look at Wind Energy Projects Around The World According to the company, their zero-blade technology devices are capable of overcoming the Betz' limit, which states that no turbine can capture more than 59.3 percent of the kinetic energy of the wind. PHOTO: Impressive Beast! The Saphon Zero Blade technology is different in other ways as well, most significantly being storage of energy.

AM Solar Ask Us about the 30% Solar Tax Credit Our line of products are unique in the RV market. If we can't find some item already made to fit a need, then we'll have it custom built if necessary. We test our products in actual use on RVs to make sure they are appropriate. We also have a fully functioning Solar Powered Demonstration Board where you can see each of our controllers in action, along with three different monitors and a 2000 watt Magnum Inverter. We offer complete systems that are engineered for use on RVs and supply you with all the appropriate components you will need to have a successful experience the first time out. If something should go wrong, we'll work with you until it's right and are completely satisfied or we'll give you your money back. Have a look at our products and systems, then give us a call if you seek some help or clarification.
Oxford Photovoltaic Oxford PV has pioneered the development of perovskite thin-film solar cells, which can be printed directly onto glass to produce a transparent, coloured coating. Once integrated into the glazing units of a building, the technology is capable of providing a significant percentage of the building’s electrical energy requirements directly from solar power. By employing well known and understood printing processes focussed on inexpensive and abundant raw materials, Oxford PV has developed a highly cost-effective technology that it will license to glass manufacturers and processors. Prototypes of its new Meso-Superstructured Solar Cells (MSSC) have already achieved a new conversion efficiency record for the technology of 17% (February 2014). Significantly, these results were achieved without using Mesoporous Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) as a semiconductor, resulting in higher levels of efficiency, much lower processing temperatures and improved cell stability.
