The city of New York is attempting to prepare for its next emergency by installing solar-powered low draw phone chargers
Its mission to build stronger relationships between scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators in Massachusetts and Switzerland, Swissnex Boston is welcoming the world's largest solar-powered boat to Boston's Fan Pier for its inaugural visit, June 22-26. The first boat to travel around the world exclusively powered by solar energy, the MS Turanor PlanetSolar features 29,160 solar panels and produces zero gasoline or CO2 emissions. Swissnex's Purpose The boat is currently carrying out
MITs Solar System MIT scientists mapped 17,000 rooftops in Cambridge, Mass., providing residents with a web interface to look up their homes and project the cost and return on investment of photovoltaic solar panels. Using satellite imagery and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data from a previous aerial survey to create a 3-D model of Cambridge. Then the team from MIT charted the exact shape of rooftops and possible sunlight
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell announced Tuesday the approval of three major renewable energy projects in Arizona and Nevada delivering up to 520 MW of renewable energy. What Are the Renewable Energy Projects? The three projects are the 350 MW Midland Solar Energy Project near Boulder City, Nevada, the 70 MW New York Canyon Geothermal Project, near Lovelock, Nevada, and the 100 MW Quartzsite Solar Energy Project, located

100 Gigawatt Milestone 100 Gigawatts! Total worldwide installed solar capacity recently broke the 100 gigawatt milestone. With over 30 gigawatts installed in 2012 alone, it is clear that there is a new push for solar energy. We are excited to see the sector grow so quickly. Wind, often considered a more mature industry, broke the 100-gigawatt global capacity mark in 2008. Let's keep pushing our elected officials to promote SOLAR
The main difference between a brushed motor and a brushless motor, (besides the differences implied by the names), is that the brushed motor uses an electromagnet system as the rotor surrounded by permanent magnets (and sometimes more electromagnets), and the brushless motor has a magnetic rotor surrounded by electromagnets. A brushless DC motor (BLDC) is a DC (direct current) electric motor that uses an electronically-controlled commutation system, instead of a
The solar powered ventilation products are easy to install and anyone handy with tools should feel comfortable doing an installation. BUT - we (Solar Royal, LLC.) recommend hiring an insured and/or bonded local professional to install your fan(s). Solar attic fan installation instructions The instructions for installing a SolarRoyal SR1800 solar attic ventilation fan can be found under the Resources tab on the top bar of the website. Click on
It’s time to harness the world’s virtually inexhaustible supply of clean solar energy and start building a brighter future. Solar is the fastest-growing energy source in the world, and for good reason. It offers a limitless supply of clean, safe, renewable energy. And it’s more affordable, more efficient, and more reliable than ever. The advantages of Solar and other renewable power sources are clear: greater independence from imported fossil fuels,
Ridge vents, gables vents, and turbine vents work by passive (natural) draft air convection. This means that as hot air rises in your attic, it should flow out from these vents creating a natural draft through the attic. However, they are not very effective at reducing the temperature of your attic. Turbine vents are designed to pull hot air out of your attic when the wind blows. These vents are
