Italy Learning From the Spanish Photovoltaic Debacle

March 29, 2010

Italy will unveil new solar incentives plan in April | www.pv-tech.org

Italy is expected to be the number two photovoltaic market behind Germany. This was last held by Spain which, briefly, had the largest market for one year before collapsing from an excess of incentives and no cap to the opposite extreme. Italy looks like they are learning from Spain's excesses.

California Green Power Demand May Benefit the Rest of the West

March 19, 2010

Tradable RECs Come to California | www.renewablesbiz.com

Renewable Energy Credits, or "REC's" has been a somewhat controversial tool for selling green power. It is subject to a hodgepodge of prices and conditions like most of US renewable energy. A move by California to accept REC's outside of its borders may allow for a more regional, if not national, solar and wind power market.

Expanding US Solar Tax Credits To a New Market

March 19, 2010

Sen. Udall Introduces Solar Uniting Neighborhoods Act Of 2010 | www.solarindustrymag.com

The inherent federal and localized nature of the US energy infrastructure makes consensus on policies like a national RPS or FIT exceedingly difficult. So relatively minor changes to the present tax credit system may be the best way to go. A proposal to do that for the residential solar market has been submitted.

Understanding the Value of Solar Electricity

March 7, 2010

ECD Bags Rooftop Solar Project In Portland | solar.energy-business-review.com

The idea of solar photovoltaic systems along the US Northwest Pacific Coast may strike some as a waste of money and misguided environmentalism. Yes, a PV system in Portland, Oregon won't work as well as one in Tucson, Arizona. But there other reasons to have photovoltaic systems, such as site oriented generation, peak power and demand management purposes.

Will the white knuckled ride to lower photovoltaic prices continue in 2010?

February 23, 2010

Is JA Solar setting ASP decline trends for 2010? | www.pv-tech.org

The photovoltaic industry is an example of "beware what you ask for" - demand for lower costs and prices to be competitive with incumbent energy and reduce reliance on incentives (I call them "incentives" because I support PV. If I opposed it, I would call them "subsidies"), especially amid uncertain economic times. The result will be the continuation of a necessary bloodbath of cost reduction and toughened survivors. JA Solar intends to be one of those survivors.

The latest evolution in US wind power resource assessment

February 23, 2010

New Estimates Increase U.S. Wind Potential | www.nawindpower.com

Resource assessment of intermittent sources like solar and wind power requires careful analysis, years of database development and integration of exciting new technologies in diagnostics and computation. The latest result of an effort began over 20 years ago is the initial findings of a collaboration between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and AWS Truewind. The findings show an even greater potential of wind power potential, in the U.S., especially for larger and taller wind turbines.

Merger and Acquisition in the Solar and Wind Industries May Heat Up in 2010

January 4, 2010

Motech to purchase GE Energy's Delaware Solar Module Assembly Operation | www.cleanedge.com

The deal of GE selling the photovoltaic operations to a major cell manufacturer may be the start of increased merger and acquisition activities in the solar and wind power industries.  Mutual interests are at the core of still strategically growing industries.  Big companies may want to get a fast start in solar or wind by buying instead of developing, and there are many potential targets of companies with good product but needing financial, management and marketing muscle.

More hope for Chinese solar and wind power market growth

December 30, 2009

north american windpower: content / policy watch / renewable energy amendment designed to increase use of renewable energy in china | www.nawindpower.com

A recent change to the Chinese Renewable Energy Law may result in a major boost for the solar and wind industries.  Requiring new generation from solar, wind and other green sources to be purchased if available may spur a burst of "build it and they will buy" growth.  This new variation will impact the solar and wind industry in China differently, but have global impact to overall growth.

One less excuse to oppose wind power

December 25, 2009

Berkeley Lab Study Finds No Widespread Impact of Wind Power Projects on Surrounding Residential Property Values in the U.S. | newscenter.lbl.gov

Arguments against renewable energy, especially large scale wind power, range from technical to economic to environmental, often laced with emotion.  The arguments are put forth by a fascinating combination of interests who have little in common with each other except fear of change.  One of the arguments, loss of property value, should be put to rest in a comprehensive study by a US national laboratory.

Another attempt at US small scale photovoltaic market

December 16, 2009

Akeena's Andalay Solar Panels Available at Lowe's | www.renewableenergyworld.com

Eighty million US residential rooftops are potential markets for solar energy systems.  Installing a tiny fraction annually could equal the entire US market of 2008.  Will the latest partnership of a panel maker, system distributor and home improvement superstore be an answer to cracking this market?
