How much you can save without electricity bill

After reading a blog post, The average homeowner will pay $150,000 for electricity during the next 25 years, I assume most families are willing to change their ideas to electricity.

The solar power will replace electricity, that's what I believe in. But it needs to do too much work, and the first thing is let people know what benefit solar power brings.

Solar power have been successfully integrated into a lot of nesessities for our life, such as water heater, LED lightening, roof tile and even auto mobile. BIPV products are playing an important role in modern life. It's green energy, though sometimes you need buy some fittings and accessories to 'power' the BIPV product.

The problem by now is consumer sit tight. Why? One reason I guess is 'it's too expensive'. Frankly, it's costly to invest on solar equipment. For example, a set of in-grid system solar tileroof is about USD30,000-40,000 for a residential building. But in return, the whole set will generate 15°electricity per day.

Another reason is, people don't have idea about how the solar power equipment works. They didn't see the real benifit because people around them have not installed yet, there is nothing but news report only. A show house equipped with BIPV is a good idea to promote. Now the question came to sellers, would they like to spend a few thousands to install?

The BIPV products are not good enough in that conversion rate is a little bit low. However, the photovoltaic module manufacturer keeps improving, I remember, some solar panel has achieved 75%. Possibly that's the future of BIPV.

GT Solar Receives $47.3 Million Order SDR400 CVD Reactors

GT Solar International, Inc . (NASDAQ: SOLR), a global provider of polysilicon production technology, and sapphire and silicon crystalline growth systems and materials for the solar, LED and other specialty markets, today announced that it has received a $47.3 million order from South Korea-based polysilicon producer OCI Company, Ltd. for its newest SDR™400 CVD reactors. This is OCI’s third order for GT Solar’s SDR400 CVD reactors. The new systems will be installed as the first phase of OCI’s new polysilicon capacity expansion plan, which OCI announced on December 8, 2010. The order will be included in GT Solar’s backlog for its current Q3 FY11, which ends on January 1, 2011. GT Solar SDRTM CVD Reactor Series are high volume production chambers that utilize the proven Siemens-type process technology to manufacture high quality semiconductor grade or solar grade polysilicon.

Solar Car Project?

Even though I put all of my attention on solar roof project around the world, a solar car project leaded by Stanford students distract me. Apparently, they are doing it good. A 1985 Matsuura CNC 3-axis mill, that's the raw material they are working on. Look at the picture on their blog , the mill was fully equiped with solar panels. I don't know the conversion rate of silicon cells they are using, but I think I can provide them some if they need. However, what they want to prove is simple that a solar power car can be made and drive. Great job, Stanford students!

AnRoof Solar Power Photovoltaic Slate Tile Grid System

Solar power slate tile are made of monocrystalline silicon solar cells which are embedded in slate roof tile. By installation of overlapping, AnRoof solar slate tiles promise zero potential harm and zero dislodge risk. It's suggested to install on unshaded and sloping roof area. Excellent conversion rate make full use of house roof to provide seamless electricity in decades. It can be integrated to either on-grid or off-grid systems. The off-grid system is a stand-alone solar roofing system, ideal for home and business building that can't connect to country grid, the stable converted solar power can meet the needs of daily house electricity request. On-grid module enable house owners to sell extra solar power to grid companies besides daily electricity usage. The application area include residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
