Latest Solar Power product news
According to the latest figures from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA), Europe leads the world in the use of photovoltaic systems, with 16GW of capacity installed up to 2009 - around 70% of the world's total PV power. Within Europe, Germany is at the forefront of solar energy use, with almost 10GW of installed power. 3.8GW was installed in 2009 and Government tariffs have been an important driver for the German market.

Under the UK government’s new Feed-in Tariff (Clean Energy Cashback) scheme consumers can now be paid for every kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity generated from a renewable source or low carbon sources such as solar electricity (PV) panels or wind turbines. Anyone who has already installed a renewable energy system producing electricity after July 15th 2009 is now eligible to claim the tariffs as long as they produce less than 5MW of power.
With this new incentive and a huge range of energy... [more]
According to a report published in May 2010 by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, Germany continues to dominate the European PV market with 68% market share, followed by Italy and the Czech Republic. Belgium and France both showed steady growth throughout 2009 whilst Spain’s market appeared to slow because of the recession. And trailing at the bottom of the league table is the UK with installations totalling just 22 MW in 2009.
However, in April, the UK Government introduced the ... [more]
The Rinehart Solar Farm project, located in Lake Mary, Fla., will have a total capacity of 10 megawatts (MW) and an annual generation of approximately 15,000,000 kilowatt-hours. This is equivalent to the annual energy use of roughly 1,100 area homes. It will cover a portion of the 380,000 square foot rooftop space and surrounding acreage of BlueChip Energy’s Lake Mary facility.
BlueChip Energy has announced it has started stage one of the Rinehart Solar Farm, a 10 MW utility-scale solar PV fa... [more]
In April, the UK Government introduced FITs to stimulate growth in the UK renewable energy market. The scheme promises cash rewards to homeowners, businesses and communities who install technologies for renewable energy.
The FITs entitle householders, communities and organisations that install technology renewable technology to be paid:
• £0.361 per kWh for new build installations up to 4kW
• £0.413 per kWh for retrofit installations up to 4kW
• £0.361 per kWh for installati... [more]
At The Facilities Show, Hoval featured the company’s range of low carbon heat sources, including biomass boilers, heat pumps and solar heating – along with its high efficiency gas and oil boilers.
A highlight of the stand will be the company’s new CF ceramic filter. Capable of removing up to 96% of 10 and 2.5 micron diameter particulate emissions (PM10 and PM2.5), the CF addresses concerns in some urban areas about particulate emissions from biomass boilers, while exceeding the requirements o...
