Turning PV Installers into Financial Advisors
Photovoltaic (PV) installations are now a viable option when combined with government-supported feed-in tariffs. In this respect it’s a wise strategy for investors to spread their portfolios to include these emerging technologies. More and more electrical installers are expanding into renewable energy technologies to capitalize on this trend. The skill is now to explain to potential customers why it makes fiscal sense to, in effect, pay for their electricity bill in advance by choosing to invest their money in PV technology.

BIPV Market Gaining Traction
Similar to the way that the smart grid reflects the combination of energy management and information technology, building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is the marriage of 3 industries that so far have only worked together in marginal ways: architectural design, renewable energy, and building products.

Massive New Tidal Turbine is World’s Largest

The world’s largest tidal turbine, standing more than 5 stories tall, has been unveiled in Scotland before being installed in the waters off Orkney later this summer. The Atlantis Resources Corporation’s AT-1000 turbine is 22.5 meters (73 feet) tall and has a rotor diameter of 18 meters (59 feet) and weighs 130 tonnes. It will produce 1 MW of power from a water velocity of 2.65 meters (8.7 feet) per second. This is considerably larger than the river turbines other locations have proposed.

“The giant turbine is expected to be environmentally benign due to a low rotation speed whilst in operation and will deliver predictable, sustainable power to the local Orkney grid.” The turbine blades will only turn at a rate of 6 to 8 revolutions per minute.

The tidal turbine project is connected to a plan for a data center located in northern Scotland and intended to be powered entirely by tidal power. Tidal power offers a predicatable, reliable energy source. Water is 832 times as dense as air, making it possible to draw similar amounts of energy from a much smaller turbine unit. However, the harsh marine conditions that underwater equipment must face has made development of tidal energy a slower process.
