Slow Obsolete Products (SLOPs) A Slow Obsolete Product is a real bottom-line killer and also an inventory "black-eye". This situation defines bad business and we have seen it over and over: a company purchases pallets of products from a slick salesman who gives them beautiful promises of soaring demand as well as staggering returns. Somehow, once the product hits the shelves, it seems to put down roots and become
2017 is being hailed as a significant milestone for the climate challenge. However, it hasn’t been all good news. Carbon emissions have increased globally and in Australia, but the mission to avoid dangerous climate change through renewable energy no longer appears completely hopeless. Global Push-back Against Coal Many Australians continue to lose hope as coal remains a hot topic mainstream media. After all, many still remember Scott Morrison, the federal treasurer, holding up
Texas law also stipulates that the HOA may designate where the solar device should be located on a roof, unless a homeowner can show that the designation negatively impacts the performance of the solar energy device and an alternative location would increase production by more than 10%. To show this, the law requires that modeling tools provided by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) be used. While not specified by
Internet giant, Google, says the price of renewable energy increasingly declines, making it the lowest cost option. It will also not rule out investing in nuclear power. Google’s data centers and the offices for its 60,000 staff will be powered entirely by renewable energy from next year, in what the company has called a “landmark moment”. The internet giant is already the world’s biggest corporate buyer of renewable electricity, last year buying
There are many types of solar attic fans on the market and all but MAYBE six (6) are not certified or tested in any way. Out of those six (6) only a small handful have current certifications of current products. Why is this important: Because if you install a none-certified product on your roof, we are seeing more and more insurance companies not insuring damage and/or during inspections the roof
Wholesale solar power prices have reached another record low in India, faster than analysts predicted and further undercutting the price of fossil fuel-generated power in the country. The Role of India on the Global Stage The tumbling price of solar energy increases the likelihood that India will meet its renewable energy targets. Those targets were set at the Paris climate accords in December of 2015. The likelihood of India actually
Ever wonder if the benefits of installing solar panels will outweigh the costs? Curious as to how much solar exposure those panels would even get on your roof? Google’s latest sun map, Project Sunroof, looks to answer those exact questions for solar proponents. The endeavor comes as a part of Google’s commitment to renewable energy. It’s been very public with its plans to be entirely carbon neutral from here on
MIT professor David Wilson developed a new solar powered energy technology that will bring solar cookers that function at night. This invention will significantly benefit developing nations who depend on wood for cooking. Unfortunately, our grills are harmful to the environment. Whether you use wood chips, charcoal, or propane, it releases emissions and creates poor air quality. Up until now, solar cookers needed to the sun in order to function,
A new solar energy efficient electricity generation system that developers claim is the most efficient in the world, is being tested in South Africa’s Kalahari desert. The project combines military technology with an idea developed by a 19th-century Scottish engineer and clergyman. The Swedish company behind it says they are on the verge of building its first commercial installation. In the remote Northern Cape province, huge mirrors reflect the sun
