Are there any ROI studies regarding concentrators and tracking systems for solar cells (PV)?

by admin on Apr.29, 2010, under Green Living


I’m considering installing an on-grid full solar array for our home and was wondering about ROI of solar concentrators and solar tracking systems as opposed to a solar array simply mounted to our home’s roof.
I’m aware of the costs, tax benefits, and utility company benefits which all bring this into the realm of possibility.
I’m in New Mexico so I have plenty of sunshine!

I need ideas for a new non-profit environmental campaign startup?

by admin on Aug.27, 2009, under Green Living


I am a beginner web-developer, and I have great interest in environmental causes, especially climate change, pollution and deforestation.

For a while I wanted to start a website, that would have potential of becoming popular, because of its uniqueness.

One thing that I am limited to right now, is that my website will have to be static – in other words, I can’t set up any interaction with users of the site.

Any suggestions for the theme of the site and potential content, that you think might click?

What did the LIve Earth show make you aware of?

Was it the need to address global warming? If so, couldn’t that have been done much more effciently by a mass-email and direct mail campaign where everyone would be told why we need to address global warming? How about giving everyone free copies of Al Gore’s book and movie? Wouldn’t that have been more effcient than 22 hours of music mixed with statements like “If you want to save the world, jump up and down!”?

If you learned something more specific, what did you learn? And, were you unable to learn that from a quick google search?
