The solar power system marks another milestone in Ingersoll Rand’s Global Climate Commitment, which includes a 35 percent reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint from its operations by 2020.
Commercial buildings have high energy needs, and it’s no secret that the HVACR system is one of the largest sources of electricity consumption in them. Since the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) began tracking energy use through its Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) in 1979, total energy consumption has almost doubled.
CHICAGO - Reduce electric bills, increase financial security and safety. The proven thermal battery technology is flexible for smaller residences, has no PV interconnection restrictions and is a simple solar solution for various occupancies.
In the last decade, solar has experienced an average annual growth rate of 68 percent. This has been spurred, in part, because the cost to install solar has dropped by more than 70 percent since 2010, which has led the industry to expand into new markets and deploy thousands of systems nationwide.
The XCPC is a solution for solar air conditioning and industrial process heat. XCPC technology pairs a custom evacuated tube receiver with an external non-imaging reflector, which enables the collector to cost-effectively achieve temperatures of 392°F at more than 50 percent efficiency without tracking.
Committed to the responsible stewardship of resources and the environment for a sustainable future, Thos. Somerville Co. strives for a green approach to day-to-day operations.
Ice Energy, a provider of distributed thermal energy storage solutions, has launched the Ice Cub — a way to cool and heat the home, store energy, and optimize solar power.
Enphase Energy Inc., a provider of solar energy solutions, and Generac Power Systems Inc., a manufacturer of home backup generators, have joined forces to educate homeowners and distribution partners on the benefits of solar generation and outage protection.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has launched a new Operations and Maintenance (O&M) working group to address issues surrounding the reliable production of electricity from solar panels and what’s required to ensure panels are properly maintained.
