Optimizing Solar Projects to Maximize Return on Investment (ROI)
The solar industry is facing new realities as the economics of solar are changing. Predicting photovoltaic (PV) panel pricing is 'iffy' at best. The US Treasury 1603 cash grants are history. Optimizing the energy produced and making the most of available land have become increasingly important as investors and project developers look for a viable economic model to maximize ROI. With fossil fuel energy prices on the rise, government incentives for solar wavering, and a solar trade war being waged over the price of Chinese solar panels ? delivering innovative, high-performing solar power solutions is more critical now than ever before.
Solar Panels From Grass Clippings: Researchers Make Progress on "Biophotovolt...
It's chore day. You've raked the leaves, taken out the recycling, and emptied out the old junk in your garage. But wait ? don't toss it all out! You have all the ingredients for your very own homemade solar system.
Ontario Post Election: Is the Financing Market Ready?
On October 6, 2011 the Ontario Liberals were re-elected paving the way for a continuation of the Green Energy Act. Shortly after that several announcements were made indicating that banks would be financing Feed-in Tariff (FIT) projects in Ontario.

A Shining Star of Bipartisan Cleantech Support
Amid all the negative publicity that Solyndra’s failure has brought to the Administration’s cleantech efforts, one cleantech program has received broad bipartisan support: DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-e).  In 2012, ARPA-e will receive $275 million, a 53 percent increase from the prior year with
Assessing the Risks in Solar Project Development
Over the next four years, 5.7 GW of utility-scale solar PV projects is expected to be built in the U.S. and another 1.3 GW in Canada for a total of 7 GW. Both amounts represent a significantly larger volume than what has been installed to date and is expected to be the dominating type of solar installation for that period of time. Yet, 7 GW only represent a fraction of the total capacity of large-scale solar PV projects initiated and under development in the same period, illustrating that solar project development still is a high-risk undertaking.
BP: Too Big to Fail?
BP issued its Energy Outlook for 2030, and the coverage and commentary it generated suggests it's an authoritative voice on medium-term energy trends, and as such will have some influence on policy and investment decisions. Leaving aside that one of the world's major fossil fuel incumbents cannot realistically be an impartial arbiter, there was something to like whether your view leans toward the inevitability of renewable energy or necessity of fossil fuels.
What's Driving North America's Solar PV Market in 2012?
The North American solar photovoltaic (PV) market tacked on nearly another full gigawatt (GW) of installations in 4Q11, echoing a late-year surge seen in other markets (think Germany and Asia), says NPD Solarbuzz. New Jersey, California, Arizona, and Ontario accounted for two-thirds of that demand; more than half (59 percent) was for large-scale ground-mount systems.
Don't Count Out Solar Water Heating, It's a $123 Billion Dollar Market
According to a new SEPA report titled “Heating Up: The Impact of Third Party Business Models on the US Market for Solar Water and Space Heating,” Sixteen percent of the 110 million U.S. households are suitable for solar thermal systems, also referred to as solar domestic hot water systems. The report states that at given
Pathways and Challenges to Institutional Development of On-Site Clean Energy
Institutions seeking to deploy on-site clean energy solutions are facing a number of challenging questions:  How can solutions be deployed under tight budget constraints, with a minimum of upfront cost? What deal and financing structures are available to non-tax paying institutions?  Is it best to build and own a system internally, or use
Ten Clean Energy Stocks for 2012: 10 Percent More than Other Top-10 lists
Maybe it was because Seeking Alpha did not carry my annual list of 10 Clean Energy Stocks for 2012 this year, but no one seems to have noticed that there were actually 11 stocks in the list. Call it the Spinal Tap of top-ten lists.
Solar Fred's 7 Keys to Why People Share Marketing Materials on the Web
What triggers you to press one of those share buttons above, or email this post — or any website link — to a colleague or friend? Think about it. Because the keys to knowing why people share things are the keys to so-called "viral" solar marketing. Before we get to why we share, let's talk about how we used to share and how we share
Asia Report: India Sees 52 Percent Rise in Investments
The year 2011 may be remembered in clean energy circles as the moment when India became a major player across several industries.
Suntech, DuPont to Collab on Solar Backsheets, Supply Chain
It's easy to think about modules as singular units of power output, but the reality is that they are a collection of diverse components, each with influence over the end system's total cost and performance. For DuPont, its focus is of course on the materials side, from metallization pastes used to form contacts on the solar cell, to backsheet materials that protect the panels themselves.
DOE's Untold Impact on Solar
The Obama Administration's $60 billion Loan Guarantee Program (LGP) for renewable energy is considered a failure because of Solyndra, Beacon Power, and potential 2012 bankruptcies. What is not well known is that 75 percent of the program's deployed funds went to relatively low risk power plants that will catapult the U.S. to a leadership role in the utility-scale solar sector. This is hardly the hallmark of a "failed program." The program is akin to Shakespeare's King Henry V, who said as a delinquent Prince: "I'll so offend as to make offense a skill, redeeming time when men think least I will."
