Energy Storage Gets Incorporated Into California Regulatory Process

October 6, 2010

California Assembly Bill #2514 | www.leginfo.ca.gov

California led the US into the wind and solar markets, and may do the same with energy storage technologies. The recent signing of AB2514 institutionalizes the process where utilities have to incorporate energy storage as they do with generation, transmission and distribution. This may be critical for the state to reach its 33% RPS goal.

Branding Solar, Defending Value

September 13, 2010

Canadian Solar sponsors U.S. baseball team, San Francisco Giants | www.pv-tech.org

Can PV be sold like toothpaste, convertibles or cruises? Some solar companies are realizing that marketing to the public may be necessary to build awareness, increase market share and defend profit margins. Companies like Yingli Green Energy and Canadian Solar are already investing in this new (for solar) frontier.

Developing An Effective U.S. Solar Feed In Tariff

August 30, 2010

Feed-in Tariff Advances | www.renewablesbiz.com

The US solar market succeeds in spite of the lack of robust federal policies. Success is left to progressive states like Cailfornia to develop markets that eventually spill across the country at varying rates. The latest California solar move can make a US feed in tariff (FIT) rate a serious market developer, and keep photovoltaic growth going.

Another Example of Energy Storage and Wind Power

August 4, 2010

http://www.energycentral.com/functional/news/news_detail.cfm?did=16499229 | www.energycentral.com

Energy storage and wind power is moving from studies and theories to practice. The initial results of a Minnesota project using sodium sulfide batteries was released by Xcel Energy. This can mean that wind power could expand if there is a reasonable tradeoff of cost and dispatchability.

The Future of Energy Storage May be Solid (State)

August 3, 2010

Wind and Storage Project Advances | www.renewablesbiz.com

Wind power is presently facing financing barriers and access issues to high voltage transmission. Behind these near term issues is the eventual need for wind power to become more dispatchable. There are a variety of energy storage technologies available in the marketplace, including this solid state option.

Continued Growth of US Solar Market

July 30, 2010

U.S. Solar Market Trends 2009: solar markets are booming | irecusa.org

The latest report by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council documented the continued growth of the US solar market in 2009. Despite economic and financing barriers and the lack of a comprehensive national policy, the photovoltaic market achieved a 40% growth rate, and an increased presence in more states that previously had few or no installations.

Sun Fab is Dead, Long Live Photovoltaic Power

July 22, 2010

Applied Materials stops selling ‘SunFab’ thin-film lines: focus on c-Si solar and LED technology | www.pv-tech.org

The long expected demise of Applied Materials SunFab line is a setback for the company, the buyers of the manufacturing system and the bankability of some systems. But it is far from the end of the world for the technology, even amorphous silicon, presently stuck between more efficient crystalline and other thin films. It is a demonstration of the viability of the PV industry that it can shake off loss without much impact.

European PV Tariff - Economic Sense, Political Challenge

July 13, 2010

Energy Commissioner Oettinger: We need a European renewables feed-in tariff | www.powergenworldwide.com

Despite growls from the traditional energy crowd, the photovoltaic feed in tariff rate has been the best instrument to move the technology from the laboratory to the market place. Germany led the way, followed by most of Europe and increasingly other parts of the world. Whether the national-based FIT can be "harmonized" in a more continental fashion is primarily a political issue, as Europe's electric grid continues to transcends borders.

A Pilot Tariff for Electric Vehicles in California

June 30, 2010

San Diego utility charges ahead with electric-car plan | www.grist.org

One way or the other, the glory days of transport powered by internal combustion engines and fueled by cheap petroleum is ending. What will take its place and when is a function of regulation, politics and finally, economics. For electric vehicles, a recharging infrastructure supported by a utility tariff is one of the first steps, as seen here in San Diego, California.

Another Global Brand Name Enters the Solar Power Market

June 27, 2010

Akeena Solar, Westinghouse Electric form Westinghouse Solar | www.pv-tech.org

Solar electricity from photovoltaic systems continues to grow, with a number of global name brands garnering significant market share. Sharp and Kyocera have significant PV presence (Sharp is back to number one in PV revenue), but PV panels are not yet selling like flat screen TVs. Another global brand name, Westinghouse, is entering the photovoltaic market, this time with an interesting variation of panel design.
