NEW YORK — Carbon market enthusiasts have largely given up on the idea of federal legislation on greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, most are now looking to establish cap-and-trade in the United States gradually, through the spread of regional programs. more here
The amount of electricity generated by new solar installations this year is expected to be twice as much as the capacity added last year, enough to power 200,000 more homes, bolstering the market for clean-tech jobs, according to several studies unveiled this week.
The studies — all timed to the solar trade show at the Los Angeles Convention Center, one of the industry’s largest — are painting a rosy outlook for the renewable energy industry. article
The Gainesville Times recently featured Southern View Energy in an article about the solar installation project for SolAirsoft:
In the blazing heat of the summer, Price McKibbon is enjoying running his air conditioner on high but not even worrying about the power bill. McKibbon decided when he opened his business in Gainesville to install solar panels and run his office totally off power generated by the sun.
Georgia could create 50,000 “green” jobs by 2016 and ride an environmentally friendly wave to a cleaner, more prosperous future, according to a thought-provoking report by the Georgia Department of Labor.
A colleague recently sent me this article about how China was going Green. And I thought to myself, well of course they are, they are growing exponentially and are advancing in a third of the time as any other country. It only seems fitting that China is the largest producer of Solar panels and now plans on leading the World in Installed Solar capacity. This is just another example of how China is not only a world leader, but is leading the world in the direction of our future. Here is the article! Take a look!
I wish that I could say that I have been hard at work researching everything solar from cost, to new technologies, and beyond, but there is not enough time in the day to do all of my own research concerning the advancements that the Solar Industry is making. However, there are those out there that have the resources to do just that. And of course I want to make you all aware of the wonderful findings they run across so that my readers are the most knowledgeable and savy in the industry.
One of my most recent findings was pertaining to the most crucial part of my industry, Cost. Apparently we are moving closer and closer to grid parity, which means cost are drastically coming down with each new day, week, and year. From installation to product cost the industry is getting better and more efficient at what we do. Here is the link to read more about how we are moving closer to grid parity and free solar power. I hope you enjoy and share the news that the cost of solar is not out of your reach. So go out and share the word about what Solar is doing, I know I will.
