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.

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!

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.

Greece Supply Solar Power After Germany Quit

After the disaster of Fukushima plant in Japan early this year, Germany decided to shut down all 17 of the country's nuclear reactors over 11 years. Meanwhile, Germany is looking for the countries which can provide solar clean energy. According to SolarDaily news , Greece plans to develop some 20,000 hectares of solar power parks in a bid to export renewable energy to Germany, a report said on Saturday. George Papandreou, Greek Prime Minister, said they're planning to build the world's largest solar park next January. The reason why Greece is positive in this project is the current high unemployment rate and shrink of economy.
