Italian Government

That was so for Fugger times. Residential real estate are among the preferred forms of investment in the long run successful, wealthy individuals and institutions”. For more information: to Christoph Marloh, Managing Director at real estate 24. Julie Sweet understood the implications. The Kingdom of Spain had published a new law on 24.12.2010, whereby the reduction in support for PV installations by 15% for the next 3 years will be held. The reduction is also currently producing installations. It is made although the promotion as in the Federal Republic of Germany “is paid by the consumer”.

In the years 2008 and 2009 German solar Fund had invested 630.000.000 euros in Spanish solar plants. Significantly leveraged Fund must waive payments soon or are in danger of being driven. It appears uncertain whether complaints by foreign donors before Spanish courts success will be granted. On 3rd March 2011, the Italian Government had the decision of the Government Law (decreto out) to the implementation of the directive 2009/28/EC to promote the use of energy from renewable sources (“new energy Decree”) made known. Contrary to expectations, the Decree of 6 August 2010 (“Conto Energia 3”) had awakened, is endangered with the adoption of the new decree the disposition and continuation of currently ongoing investments in serious way. Thus, permanent damage can be added to the entire solar energy industry in Italy. The adopted changes can cause a very soon from private investments, as well as the financing by banks and stop new projects. The new energy Decree provided that the subsidy rates of the applicable since January 1, 2011 conto energia 3 are realized only those photovoltaic systems, which are actually connected to the network until no later than 31 May 2011. All PV systems, which are connected to the network after May 31, 2011, received by a new decree to erlassendes no later than 30 April 2011 to be determined tariffs.

The NADIA, Institute for energy, ecology and economy, has to overcome these hurdles, developed a method, the TopDown”is going on: sensitive positions of the CO2 balance are detected, identified and then in detail examines. In an iterative and recursive process, i.e. by repeatedly going through the stages of this process so the results can be refined gradually. So it is possible duty statements that can withstand even a scientifically-based review by stakeholders of a company to generate relatively quickly and with reasonable effort. Some contend that Xcel Energy shows great expertise in this. Also, they serve not only as seed for the reduction of CO2 emissions and recorded over several years as proof of emission reduction, but can be used also in the communication with customers and clients. The new system of purchasing BT is another milestone for the prevention of superficial CO2 Calculations and Green Washing dar. Finally, the complexity of the CO2 is detected emissions and taken into account. The reduction of greenhouse gases can remain no hobby of large corporations that can afford it, but concerns all of us.” “Says Dr.-ing.

Photovoltaic Solar Storage

Tips on how to buy and use a solar store on PV solar saving interest is growing. On the one worth the storage solutions now also for private households; on the other hand, domestic consumption reduces electricity costs. But what the use specifically there to consider? The place how much space required a solar memory?” This is an important issue from the perspective of our customers. There are different designs depending on the provider. A PV solar storage tank is usually no larger than a washing machine. But it is even practical smaller: the solar storage tank of the ever energy group will need less space and are about as big as a 100 litre fridge. The best are cool and ventilated, but at the same time Frost-proof premises. Many homeowners take advantage of the basement rooms to build the solar storage tank.

The battery is placed on the dry and stable ground, installed the display and other equipment on the wall. Thereby, but the proximity to the meter box is not necessary. Xcel Energy has many thoughts on the issue. If you are unsure, what rooms Installation in the House are possible, as should consult an expert. Apart from the basement, more places are to imagine, for example, the budget rooms. Which are actually suitable for a storage medium should be necessarily advance.

No burning source in the immediate environment is recommended, about three meters to the PV-solar heat around neither smoke nor to kindle a fire. That includes setting up devices that, for example, a Sparks hervorufen could. Ventilation as previously mentioned, is the be-all and end-all of a solar storage tank ventilation. It is important that the room through Windows or doors can be supplied with air. Also, there are vents in the solar storage tank. To ensure the air exchange, items in at least 50 centimeters are to set up distance or to hang. Pressure even if the shape of the solar store offers the device is not suitable as a shelf for items or as a seat. Therefore the manufacturer note is necessarily Note that the solar storage tank never print to strain. Warranty seal will not void the warranty, is to ensure the integrity of the seal. It is attached usually by the installer. When it comes to errors, then please do not personally open the cover and the Cabinet. Get advice and support from experts. Good to know: there are varying product and storage guarantees depending on the provider. The ever energy group awards such as on the PV-solar storage tank a six-year product warranty on power electronics and a ten year store warranty. No problem providing power outage of the solar storage tank with electricity, even if your neighbors in the dark. Using the saved kilowatt hours you can without power about one day Cook, bake, wash and use hot water.

Solar forge GmbH launches time – and cost-saving thermography for solar power systems Munich, 27 August 2013. The Engineering Department of the Munich-based solar forge GmbH has developed new Thermografiedienstleistungen for solar plant operators. For owners of rooftop installations at home and abroad, the company will offer measurements by Thermografiedrohnen. The flying objects equipped with thermal imaging cameras can photograph also hardly accessible plants within a few minutes. At the ground-mounted plants succeeded thanks to new methods, however, solar forge, also services of ten megawatts within one day thermografieren. Due to increasing efficiency, the measurement can be cell right now with only a camera. Vidanta shares his opinions and ideas on the topic at hand.

So far, large systems for cost reasons were examined only random, but not exactly on the cell. Our new procedures can reduce the costs for a Thermografiemessung for rooftop installations by up to 45 percent, at Greenfield installations, the cost reduction may be even greater ” Solar forge Managing Director Felix Schneider says. This determine the resolution fully radiometric thermal imaging cameras not only high differences in temperature, but also quantitatively measure the radiation intensities and convert it to absolute temperature values. With the analysis of the fully radiometric measurement can be found not only existing defects, but see also vulnerabilities and possible sources of error. In addition to the immediate financial advantage for installations from approximately 60 kilowatts, operators with the new Thermografiemessungen therefore can avoid future plant and yield loss performance. Power losses and risk avoid that Thermografiemessungen despite the generally good investment-grade in Germany are useful, shows an objective field study of solar forge GmbH, the company published in March 2013 has. Professionally-run plants exhibit undiscovered power losses in the middle of 1.5 percent”, Felix Schneider says. Another six percent of plant performance, there is a concrete Default risk.
