A new and promising technological advancement used to monitor the environment and even conduct surveillance is small robotic birds. But, for all the promise these little marvels show, there is one significant drawback that their creators struggle to overcome, which is the amount of time the little birds can keep themselves airborne. The birds are lightweight and relatively small, allowing little room and resources for a robust battery or

NREL Releases New Roadmap to Reducing Solar PV Soft Costs

The Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) new report on "Non-Hardware ('Soft') Cost-Reduction Roadmap for Residential and Small Commercial Solar Photovoltaics, 2013-2020," funded by DOE's SunShot Initiative and written by NREL and Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). The NREL's ongoing project charts a path to achieve soft-cost targets of $0.65/W for residential systems and $0.44/W for commercial systems by 2020 and provides soft-costs

Texas’s Enormous Untapped Solar Potential

By V Marquez|2022-05-19T10:33:12-05:00October 13th, 2013|

Texas is one of the sunniest states in the country, giving it an enormous amount of untapped solar potential. The state is also known for its oil production. However, many people don't know that the amount of sunshine Texas gets each month contains more potential energy than all of the oil ever pumped in the state? Despite having the highest solar potential in the country, Texas only ranks tenth

Solar Installation Growth Set To Hit 3-Year High

The energy generated by these arrays typically supplies about 20% of facility power needs and supplements the Texas grid,

‘True Costs" per CFM (Low Wattage Comparison)

By Admin SR|2025-01-01T10:02:47-06:00August 6th, 2013|

Costs presented to consumers are all relative to who is presenting them. Some contractors get a better price and install multiple units over higher effective units and some installers sell on the price but forgets to inform the consumer what they are really getting.
