Independent power producers pay the capital cost of their interconnection and all required reinforcements of the transmission system. The price they are paid for their power also reflects transmission losses associated with delivering its power to load.do big electricity producers have to pay to put their electricity on electricity-infrastructure?
I thought clients payed it with their bills!
When they first opened the Atlantic Station Charging site in the Fall of 2011, the plan was to start charging something like $3 per hour starting in January. If it is still free, I guess they rethought that idea.
Despite cuts in subsidy levels, Germany will install a record 8 gigawatts of photovoltaics in 2012, according to Germany's trade chamber, the DIHK. That's up slightly from the 7.5 gigawatts installed in 2011.
The United States finished 2011 with over 1.8 gigawatts of PV installed, according to GTM Research Managing Director Shayle Kann. In a sneak peak at 2012 forecasts to be revealed later this week, Kann and his team expect U.S. solar installations to approach 3 gigawatts in 2012.
Twin Creeks Technologies, a US-based solar energy startup, unveiled this week a new type of ultra-thin solar cell that cost half as much to produce as comparable cells. The drop in price could allow solar to serve as a practical alternative to fossil fuels.
2 KW? That's charging at about 7 miles an hour. Feel-good silliness.I don't remember seeing this one before:
looks like it was going to be damaged by the wind.2 KW? That's charging at about 7 miles an hour. Feel-good silliness.
Or enough daily charging while at work to more than cover the average vehicle miles per day. Charging need not be at a high rate to be quite practical.2 KW? That's charging at about 7 miles an hour. Feel-good silliness.
Sivaram says that by greatly reducing the use of wire saws and related equipment and making thinner wafers, Twin Creeks reduces the amount of silicon needed by 90 percent and also greatly reduces capital costs. He says the technology can be added to existing production lines. The company's primary plan is to sell manufacturing equipment, rather than produce solar cells. "I expect that by this time next year, we'll have a half a dozen to a dozen of these tools in the field," he says.
One could develop car wrap with this -- though they didn't give any indication of energy production per m^2.
