Community Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy

We’re making a business decision that’s going to help REI fulfill its vision of being viable 100 years from now. 1 —Tim Nuse‚ REI’s Energy Manager In 2010‚ Recreational Equipment‚ Inc. (REI) considered adding photovoltaic solar panels to the roofs of some of its facilities. This was driven by both financial and environmental considerations. Electricity costs were volatile‚ while the cost of solar panels was decreasing. These panels‚ once installed‚ provided electricity

Chapter 1 Introduction The notion of going green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current

Solar was founded in 1999 from the Walton family. According to the Marketing Sun Power‚ First Solar’s mission is “to create enduring value by enabling a world powered by clean‚ affordable solar electricity.” (p. 90) The company manufactures solar modules‚ which have razor-thin cadmium telluride. They are manufactured this way because it can still produce electricity even when clouds are blocking the sun. With this product First Solar wants to promote that it is socially responsible. It not only markets

increased focus on renewable energy forms such as solar PV. In addition‚ favorable regulatory policies such as Feed in Tariff (FIT) is expected to further increase installed capacity‚ particularly along the Sunbelt countries. The reduction in price of PV modules is expected to lower the cost of energy generated by solar PV to USD 0.07 – USD 0.16‚ making it competitive to oil or gas fired peak power plants. Countries with large PV potential such as Brazil‚ Chile and Saudi Arabia have not expanded as expected
