Environmental issues are one of the most pressing concerns for the safety and future of mankind.Carbon Credits are widely considered to be a key component in our global effort to fight climate change and reduce carbon emissions. This makes understanding the dynamics of carbon credits more crucial than ever. Unfortunately, there’s a dearth of easily accessible educational materials to provide the necessary guidance.How Can We Improve Carbon Credit Education?It was this concern that drove us at Carbon Credit Capital to seek new and engaging ways to empower individuals and organizations seeking to gain an understanding of these concepts. Thanks to…
By SB staff April 16, 2024 M.C.E has collaborated Renewable America to bring online a 1 MW solar farm in Marin County, California. The 4.5-acre Fallon Two Rock solar farm is MCE’s newest project, which is estimated to generate 2,300 MWh annually and power 400 homes annually.To celebrate this milestone, MCE and Renewable America (RNA) hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Petaluma location on April 15.“We are thrilled to celebrate Fallon’s commercial efforts and toast the partnership with MCE at the ribbon cutting,” said Ardeshir Arian, president and CEO of RNA. “Renewable America’s motto ‘Think Local. Act Local’ drives us…
As the Earth’s temperature continues to rise, so does the severity of weather conditions occurs annually. Hail, high winds, snow and flooding are all risks to ground-mounted solar projects, and solar tracker companies are actively investigating how these kinetic racking systems can prevent damage from adverse weather conditions. ‘We can’t move [our foundations]. We are where we are, so we experience the conditions in that location,” said Aaron Gabelnick, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer of Array Technologies. “We must actively look for ways to limit the potential damage that can occur as a result of severe weather.” Automated weather responses…
At home » General » A carbon tax on fossil fuels and on maritime and aviation transport could generate additional development financing for Africa Download logoA carbon tax regime that covers carbon taxes on fossil fuels, maritime transport and aviation could generate additional resources to support Africa’s energy transition, says Claver Gatete, Executive Secretary of the ECA during a dialogue on carbon markets and development held is kept on the sidelines of the tenth century. Africa Regional Forum for Sustainable Development (ARFSD-10) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. “In combination with other policies, the carbon tax could help reduce residual emissions that…
The Japanese manufacturer said its latest power semiconductor module is based on a compact insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and is designed for large-capacity industrial power converters with a voltage of 2,300 V. April 8, 2024 Valerie ThompsonJapanese Fuji electric has launched a new high-performance module in its next-core series, based on its latest insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) platform, featuring diodes with a freewheeling diode (FWD) function.The new HPnCPower inverters are used in solar PV inverters and power conditioning systems.The modules measure 100mm x 144mm x 40mm and have a rated current ranging from 1,200 A to 1,800 A depending…
Gordian Energy Systems has completed a 595 kW solar system at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Maryland. New Energy Equity was the project’s development company. The Maryland SoccerPlex features 24 professionally maintained fields and 66,000 feet of terrain2 field house. It is a popular venue for youth and amateur football, as well as other sports such as lacrosse, rugby, hockey and ultimate frisbee. The SoccerPlex is currently home to two professional teams, the Maryland Bobcats of the National Independent Soccer League and Old Glory DC of Major League Rugby. It is renowned for its high-quality facilities and resources, making it…
A rendering of AdventHealth’s new corporate solar portfolio. AdventHealth is taking another step toward reducing its carbon emissions and achieving its environmental sustainability goals with an on-site solar energy installation at its corporate headquarters in Altamonte Springs, Florida. The faith-based health system’s corporate headquarters employs nearly 5,000 team members who work to support the system’s operations and care delivery across the country. Starting this week, the Maitland-based national solar developer ESA will begin the work to install more than 7,500 solar panels on top of four buildings and two garages that comprise the corporate campus. Additionally, solar canopies will be…
The recently commissioned 170 MWDC The Bartonsville Energy Facility solar project has been praised by Virignia’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) as a model of environmental stewardship. This array was able to avoid environmentally disruptive grading of rural areas and use less steel at the structural level Nevados’ All Terrain Tracker, a single-axis solar tracker. Terrain-tracking solar trackers await commissioning at the Bartonsville Energy Facility, a 170 MW solar farm near Winchester, Virginia. Nevados The Governor’s Environmental Excellence Awards, an annual program administered by the DEQ in partnership with the Department of Conservation and Recreation, has recognized Bartonsville Energy Facility…
De beoordelingen van zonnepanelen kunnen een kritische overweging zijn voor kopers van zonne-energie, omdat ze informatie geven over hoeveel elektriciteit het systeem zal genereren. Veel potentiële klanten vinden echter ook de informatie over het wattage, het vermogen en het uitgangsvermogen van zonnepanelen verwarrend. Als een PV-klant biedingen tussen twee zonne-installatiebedrijven vergelijkt, kan men hogere energieschattingen hebben voor een vrijwel identieke array, omdat ze verschillende aannames hebben gebruikt voor schaduw of weersomstandigheden. Het kunnen uitleggen van belangrijke termen en concepten aan potentiële klanten, zoals het vermogen van zonnepanelen, het wattage en de efficiëntie van de modules, is van cruciaal belang om…
A group of researchers in Iran analyzed the coefficient of performance and energy consumption of solar and air source heat pumps and found that three factors are crucial to determine their annual performance: changes in irradiation, ambient temperature, and wind speed. April 24, 2024 Lior KahanaAn international group of scientists conducted a year-long comparative analysis of two types of heat pumps for water heating: solar-assisted direct expansion heat pumps (DX-SAHPWHs) and air source heat pumps (AHPWHs). Both systems were examined via numerical models, assuming they were deployed with identical parameters in Tehran, the capital of Iran.“To make those water heaters…
