Magnetorquer – Advantages

Magnetorquers are lightweight, reliable, and energy-efficient. Unlike thrusters, they do not require expendable propellant either, so they could in theory work indefinitely as long as a sufficient power source is available to match the resistive load of the coils. In Earth orbit, sunlight is one such practically inexhaustible energy source, using solar panels. A further [...]

Western Science Center – Building

The Western Center was designed to be among the most eco-friendly museums in the United States. Its special environmental features include solar panels on the roof, cold-water pipelines run below the floor to reduce air conditioning, landscaping with low-irrigation native foliage, and extensive water reclamation. In 2008, it was awarded LEED Platinum Status by the [...]

Chorlton Park Apartments – Design

Energy Efficiency

The scheme is predominantly of three storey construction, with a five storey element overlooking Chorlton Park. All units can be accessed by the disabled users and the individual apartments are accessed via an open timber floored deck with an elevator servicing all floors including the basement car parking facility. The building has low embodied energy, [...]

El Nido, Palawan – Public services

Solar Power

The Población area is part of the service areas of electric utility, Palawan Electric Cooperative (PALECO), a division of the National Power Corporation operating with .423 megawatts of electricity. Other barangays use solar panels and electric generators. The island resorts generate their own electricity. Water services are accessible in protected water tables and facilities. Ten [...]

Multijunction solar cell – Introduction

Energy Efficiency

multi-junction solar cells are currently the most efficient solar cells. Huge efforts have been made to improve the production of renewable energy. One of the most promising technologies is photovoltaic solar panels which convert solar energy into electrical energy. The first solar cell was a c-Si solar cell realised in 1954 by researchers at Bell [...]

Feed-in tariff – Feed-in tariff by territory

Anaerobic Digestion

Feed-in tariff laws were in place in 46 jurisdictions across the world by 2007. Research for information on feed in tariffs is difficult to find and typically extensive research is required to find it. Information about solar feed in tariffs may be found in a consolidated form, however not all of the countries are listed [...]

American School in Japan – Environmental sustainability

Energy Conservation

In February 2009, with the help of Government Funding and private and corporate donors, ASIJ installed Solar Panels on top of the Gym and Pool buildings which have a maximum capacity of 80& kW/h. Cafeteria food wastes are composted using earthworms. The compost is used to fertilize the greenery around campus. ASIJ promotes energy conservation [...]

The company operates in five states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. SunRun was co-founded in January 2007 by Nat Kreamer, Ed Fenster and Lynn Jurich. Fenster and Jurich met while at Stanford Graduate School of Business and [...]

Solar vehicle – By type

Alternative Energy

Solar Cars Solar cars combine technology typically used in the aerospace, bicycle, alternative energy and automotive industries. The design of a solar vehicle is severely limited by the amount of energy input into the car. Most solar cars have been built for the purpose of solar car races. Exceptions include solar-powered cars and utility vehicles. [...]

Charging station – Renewable electricity and RE charging stations

Solar power is suitable for electric vehicles. SolarCity is marketing its solar energy systems along with electric car charging installations. The company has announced a partnership with Rabobank to make electric car charging available for free to owners of Tesla Motors’ vehicles traveling on Highway 101 between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
