for - stats - 27% of the gap can be reduced by wind and solar deployment and 20% by action on forests, while efficiency, electrification, fuel switching in buildings, transport and industry sectors can also contribute - UN Emissions Gap Report 2024 - Key Messages

This shows the Germany having only 11-12% capacity factor for solar? I assumed it was close to Spain's figure

This was compared to may 2023 - so a nearly 80% jump in a single year, for China (!)

Wow, nearly half of China's solar addition is distributed? How is it funded?

In Österreich wenden sich die Verbände der erneuerbaren Energiewirtschaft gegen die von der OMV geplante Ausbeutung eines neuen Gasfeldes bei Groß-Enzersdorf. Mit wenig Aufwand lasse sich dieselbe Menge Energie mit Wind oder Solarkraft herstellen. Das Gasfeld würde zu geschätzt 10 Millionen weiteren Tonnen CO₂-Emission führen, das ist etwa ein Viertel der derzeitigen österreichischen Jahresemissionen. https://www.derstandard.de/story/3000000181249/gegen-foerderung-von-gas-vor-den-toren-wiens-formiert-sich-widerstand

Durch den Inflation reduction Act sind in den USA die Investitionen in emissionsarme Technologien auf 240 Milliarden Dollar gestiegen, wären sie in Europa -allerdings auf höherem niveau-stagnieren. Durch den Inflation reduction Act wird auch internationales Kapital in die USA gezogen. Besonders viele Investitionen fließen in die Elektromobilität, darunter in elektrische SUVs. Das Handelsblatt hat eine Studie zur Wirkung von Subventionen in der Klimapolitik in den USA und Europa beauftragt.

Die taz plädiert dafür, die Förderung von Wertschöpfung in Deutschland bei der Solarenergie nicht mehr über das Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz abzuwickeln, da die dazu notwendigen bürokratischen Verfahren zu kompliziert sind. https://taz.de/Stand-der-Solarenergie/!5984121/

Die europäische Solar-Industrie ist in einer schweren Krise, weil chinesische Unternehmen mit wesentlich billigeren Modulen auf den europäischen Markt drängen. Die Subventionen der USA für die eigene Industrie verstärkt diesen Druck. Wenn die deutsche Regierung ihre Subventionspolitk nicht ändert, wird der Hersteller Meyer Burger sein deutsches waren schließen und nur noch in den USA produzieren. https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/energie/erneuerbare-energie-solarausruester-meyer-burger-droht-mit-schliessung-der-deutschen-modulproduktion/100007780.html

16:00 "our grass is a solar panel"<br /> hell yeah. fuck these "made in china" hightech bullshit solar panels.<br /> future energy is based on wood gas, and synthetic diesel made from wood gas.<br /> but the depopulation agenda has priority...

Wow, so much more?!

This may be napkin maths but this is pretty shocking to think about. There must be a better way!

We need to change to renewable energy

Why will Discom want to disseminate the information when:

1. They themselves don't understand how the system works
2. They feel that rooftop solar will cut into their revenues? Here, instead of a top-down approach or bottom-up approach, RE generators and regulators need to have a 2 pronged synchronous approach to educate people about the technologies.

A.T.E.’s Concentrated Solar Thermal system has provided solutions for commercial and industrial applications. Solar thermal technology is used in it which uses solar energy from the sun. This technology directly impacts costs and increase your savings by being energy-efficient. The system also has many benefits like easy to install, longer life cycle, user friendly etc.

Se señala el comportamiento de algunos hornos solares dentro de una área delimitada (caribe colombiano) y la reacción que estos pueden tener en este ambinete especifíco.

Lo que destaca en este trabajo es la información de las características de distintos tipos de hornos solares, lo cual es de mucha ayuda para saber cual tipo de horno solar puede satisfasfacer las necesidades de la problemática que buscamos resolver.

Básicamente, en este trabajo se evalúa la eficiencia de dos prototipos de hornos solares y finalmente se determina la viabilidad de uso que ambos tienen.

En esta tesis se expone la problemática existente y una solución propuesta por un prototipo, del cual se especifíca todo lo necesario para su construcción, además de los principios que conlleva el funcionamiento adecuado del propio horno solar, Las condiciones a las cuales se llevaron las pruebas de calidad del mismo deberían de ser en ambientes menos controlados, puesto que al aplicarlo en un hogar, hay muchas variables que no pueden ser controladas que en esta tesis si se toman en cuenta.

El objetivo de este artículo es exponer la implementación de tecnologías solares térmicas, que se convierten en una alternativa complementaria para satisfacer las necesidades de cocción de alimentos básicos, que puede contribuir favorablemente en la problemática del deterioro ambiental; asimismo, que generen estrategias de aprovechamiento sustentable de los recursos naturales, estableciendo productos con valor agregado.

En este artículo se examinan puntos claves para un horno solar como: energía aprovechable y funcionamiento, además de materiales utilizados para un prototipo ya establecido.

En este artículo se detalla la problemática en una región y sector poblacional especifícos.

Tengo mucho interés en el uso de este tipo de celda, ya que es fácil de crear y barata.

Celdas más fáciles para una experimentación usando pocos recursos, (¿CUCEI tendrá ya antecedentes de esto?).

Whoa! I'll be flying.

Please watch this video to understand the difference between this amendment and the amendment tat is more likely to actually bring you solar at little to no upfront costs. https://www.facebook.com/Renewabledrive/videos/970883766353482/

I am seeking opinions as to the nature of this amendment. Is this good for homeowners or good for only big business? Is this Yes on 1? Or is this the REAL amendment?

This is a bit heartbreaking. Their facebook page is heavily monitored as well. I know folks that have been blocked from commenting there at Yes on 1. Thank goodness for hypothes.is.

This FB page and amendment has said to be a sneaky back door legislation that will actually ensure power to the big dogs and make it harder for us to get solar. Please correct me if wrong.

This bill is on alert as it may actually make buying solar HARDER and not EASIER. Please help me out on this one. Trying to annotate a better link but this will have to do for now. I am trying to comment on yes on 1 video..
