Solar Leasing Grows in Delaware
Delaware residents are embracing a program that allows homeowners to lease solar panels without making large upfront investments in the technology, the company that offers the service is reporting.
SolarCity, which formally entered Delaware in February when it opened a warehouse in this state, recently has made a push on the East Coast to expand its business model of placing its solar panels on customers' homes, generating electricity that leads to lower customer utility bills.
Utility Scale Solar Farms are Fueling U.S. Growth
It is no coincidence that companies like Innovative Solar Systems have expanded and are now primarily only developing and building solar farm projects that are over 20MW in size. By increasing the size of these solar farm projects in the U.S many things happen: the cost to lease the land goes down, the cost of the equipment is less and of course the labor to construct and build these massive solar farm projects are much less. Softer costs like legal, environmental studies and engineering can also be less if spread over the entire size of the project.
The Reality Of Arizona's Solar Industry
Give or take a few hazy mornings or dust storm-influenced afternoons, the sun shines in Phoenix more than 300 days a year. That's been one of the consistent selling points on why the Valley — and the state of Arizona overall — should be the center of the universe of the solar industry.
Reality, though, indicates something a lot different.
We spoke to Tom Kimbis, vice president of executive affairs for the Solar Energy Industries Association.
Solar Set for Major Role in US Energy Mix, Says EIA
PV is set to become the second most important source of power in the US after natural gas by 2040, according to the US government's Energy Information Administration (EIS).
The EIA's Annual Energy Outlook 2014 predicts the overall rate of new electric generation capacity between now and 2040 will slow compared to recent years, but that solar will become an increasingly important part of the picture.
Iowa Supreme Court Ruling to Boost Solar Power, Trade Group Says
An Iowa Supreme Court ruling may spur growth of solar energy in the state, according to an industry group.
The decision, "clears the air", Ken Johnson a spokesman for the Washington-based Solar Energy Industries Association, said in an interview today. "It's going to make Iowa a more viable market for solar investors."
Today's decision by the U.S. government to challenge India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (National Solar Mission) local content requirement at the World Trade Organization (WTO) highlights a growing problem in the solar industry—the growth of localization barriers to trade.
Super Bowl Sunday is fast approaching. The Baltimore Ravens will battle the San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans' Superdome for the The Vince Lombardi Trophy, but most of the fans don't know that there's another battle going on just beyond the gridiron: The Solar Bowl.
This Monday, the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., opened one of the world's first solar-powered carousels to visitors. The Conservation Carousel, besides having very ornate, hand-carved animals, has a net-zero impact on the Zoo's energy consumption. It runs entirely off of its 162 solar panels. It even diverts excess power back to the zoo.
Walmart and Costco are famous for cutting costs to the bone and knowing a great value when they see one. That's why they are deploying massive amounts of solar on their facilities. In fact, they are America's top two corporate users of solar power.
You ever play that game Whac-a-Mole? That's kind of how I've felt over the last few months when separating fact from fiction about the solar energy industry in the U.S. We keep knocking down myths about solar, but they just keep popping up somewhere else.
Last year, while everyone was focused on a slow economic recovery, the U.S. solar energy boomed in all sectors -- residential, commercial property and utility-scale. And there are significant amounts of new solar energy coming with the advancement of several utility-scale projects.
Hola! Greetings from Cancun where I saw immediate differences in this year's global climate talks from the moment I stepped off the plane. Instead of cold, cloudy Copenhagen, I was greeted by warm sunshine and a beautiful setting surrounded by the rich blue-green waters of the sea and bay. Last year I needed a parka; this year I need sunglasses. I'm hopeful improved weather is a good sign of an equally improved outcome. Delegates have a constant reminder (and distraction) to work through our shared challenges towards solutions.
It's that time of year when many Americans are just returning from a summer vacation. During their travels, most of those vacationers probably passed by some of the many solar projects, large and small, being installed across the country. However, they probably didn't know that while they were on holiday, smart policies were at work speeding up deployment of solar projects. From PV farms to solar water heating systems, solar is having a record growth year and is creating stable, well-paying American jobs.
The end of a long winter and the welcomed start of spring bring the all-American sport back to life. The last season transitions to memory, baseball fans ponder the present condition of their teams and we all smile at the opportunity to go outside without a coat. Spring also brings another event, the release of SEIA's annual "U.S. Solar Year in Review".
Across the country, people will start tuning in today to see how well they've done filling out their brackets for the NCAA basketball tournament. When it comes to making their picks for energy, three out of four Americans have solar going all the way in their bracket.

Stay focused
Australian captain Michael Clarke is livid with a fielder for not being focused. Clarke's team won the 3-match Test series against the West Indies 2-0 but not without a fight from the Caribbeans, who gave the Aussies a run for their money.

The LSE Tri Pak is an ideal system for the growing number of small production environments in today's industry.
The 8020A is the smallest model in the 8000 MDE™ Series and redefines accurate reference monitoring for increasingly common small production environments. It is known that acoustical challenges often arise in small spaces when larger sized monitors are employed. It is also observed that the volume requirements are less under these conditions and thus the creation of the 4" bi-amplified 8020A answers the need for robust and neutral monitoring of audio material with the new category of playback reference monitor.
However, size is no handicap to performance in the 8020A. As in every MDE™ Series product all forms of distortion have been minimized in a new design, which features the Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ technology. The die-cast aluminum enclosure features relatively large internal volume, softly curved edges and outstanding mechanical strength.
As a result, the imaging accuracy and low frequency extension with such a compact enclosure are truly astounding. The advanced Directivity Control Waveguide™ provides an amazingly flat on and off-axis response, while the long, curved reflex port featuring wide flare termination enables excellent bass articulation.
The Genelec 7050B LSE™ subwoofer provides perfect partner to the 8020A for both stereo and surround sound applications. The 7050B extends the LF response down to 25 Hz with amazing bass articulation. This is made possible in such a compact enclosure thanks to Genelec's patented Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE™) technology. With 5 main input channels and an LFE channel with 85/120 Hz reproduction bandwidth selection, the 8020A/7050B system fulfills the needs of 5.1 productions. You can also use the 7050B to complement the 8030A monitor.

Mullins' dedication to her family runs therefore deep that she had antecedently sent her own brother (Michael Rapaport) to jail once she saw him obtaining caught up with drug dealers. currently that he is out, he is also their solely method into the consortium. It's truly pretty clever, and therefore the family dynamic adds a real bit to the comedy. verify what else I likable concerning the warmth — and what I wasn't therefore hot on — after you browse a lot of. t's concerning quite feminine direction, there is enough foul language, unrefined jokes, automobile chases and explosions to attractiveness to a broad audience - and somewhere all told this there is even a case to resolve. ove Melissa.watch The Heat Online.

Her character may be a variation on constant rough-around-the-edges roles we have seen her in before (see also: Identity Thief), however she brings a sweetness and a shocking depth to Mullins. Likewise, Bullock's character feels extremely almost like a number of her past roles (The Proposal, Miss Congeniality), however it is the method these 2 work along that produces the film unforgettable.

Source: Celebsgonegood - Christina Aguilera is back… for good! (Pun intended.) On top of her new single climbing the charts, Christina was recently named as an "Ambassador Against Hunger" for the UN's World Food Programme. The diva is no stranger to traveling the world, and continues to add to her list of do-gooding destinations, having recently returned from a trip to Guatemala. Her next stop? Haiti.
The five-time Grammy Award winner made an appearance on Oprah on Friday, naming the birth of her son as one of the inspirations behind both her new album and her charity initiatives. The singer said, "A child dies every six seconds of hunger which is a huge statistic for me. After having my own child I just had to be a part of it and do something about it and help change that situation."
The World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest hunger-fighting agency, whose goals are to save and protect lives in times of emergency, help communities prepare, restore, and rebuild after disasters, and to educate people on how to alleviate chronic hunger and malnutrition.
