Green Energy & a Green Environment

http://energyinformative.org/best-solar-panel-monocrystalline-polycrystalline-thin-film/ Advantages Monocrystalline solar panels have the highest efficiency rates since they are made out of the highest-grade silicon . The efficiency rates of monocrystalline solar panels are typically 15-20%. SunPower produces the highest efficiency solar panels on the U.S. market today. Their E20 series provide panel conversion efficiencies of up to 20.1%. [3] Update (April, 2013):  SunPower has now released the X-series at a record-breaking efficiency of 21.5%.  [7] Monocrystalline silicon solar panels are space-efficient.  Since these solar panels yield the highest power outputs, they also require the least amount of space compared to any other types. Monocrystalline solar panels produce up to four times the amount of electricity as thin-film solar panels. Monocrystalline solar panels live the longest.  Most solar panel manufacturers put a 25-year warranty on their ...

India's solar energy is on a growth path . Whether you plan to enter the sector or set up your own rooftop unit , it would be good to have an understanding of the top solar players . Among them Tata Solar , Vikram Solar & Emmvee Group stand out . Tata Solar has a turnover of approximately Rs 510 crores . For more details look on below , a good compilation by Richa Chakravarti of elctronics2b http://electronicsb2b.efytimes.com/top-15-solar-players-india/

There are essentially 3 types of Solar Cell Companies .The tier 1 comprising top 2% do core R&d and are integrated end-to-end.The experience is more than 10 years. The second line about 8% do not indulge in R&d but use partial robotics etc for manufacturing. They have experience of 2-5 years .The rest 90% are assemblers and use human production lines for manual soldering.The projects however have a good capital output ratio .  Here's a good link to review the top Solar Companies  http://www.forbes.com/sites/uciliawang/2014/12/03/guess-who-are-the-top-10-solar-panel-makers-in-the-world/#2e34708f2812 Solar equipment makers are gearing up to expand production again after many of them had to idle production lines or close factories. So who are the top 10 solar panel makers these days? IHS   released its ranking today that put Trina Solar as the top shipper of solar panels in 2014, followed by Yingli Green  Energy . Both companies are based in ...

http://mgdas.com/2010/07/cow-dung-facts-and-statistics/ D ung available from one fully grown cow/ bull is around 5.4 tonnes per annum. so dry dung will be around 54. x 0.30 = 1620 kg per annum. This is equivalent to 712 kg of dry wood. This amount of wood comes from 6 large trees. So by keeping one old cow or bull alive we protect 6 large trees per annum from felling. Around beginning of 20th century states where cow slaughter was banned only cow dung cakes were used for pryre to give agni samskar to dead bodies as per vedic custom. So that much forest was saved as that many tree were not cut. A tree has great value when it is alive. It decreases pollution, maintains rain cycle, turns CO2 into O2 etc etc. It also provieds shade, fruits, flowers. Also as forest were cut down to provide fuel we saw that many medicinal herbs easily available in forests were lost because of deforestation. By killing of one old bull we deplete co...

http://www.engineerlive.com/content/21081 Sean Ottewell reports on how chicken manure is the latest fuel to benefit from advanced technology heat and power generation, while a process used in the manufacture of coffee could boost biomass energy content by 20 per cent. Waste from chicken farms has long been used as a fuel, but tougher regulations are forcing the manufacturers to turn to more advanced solutions. For example, GE Energy's ecomagination-certified Jenbacher gas engines will use biogas created from chicken manure to generate needed power and heat at a large chicken farm north of the China's capital city of Beijing. The plant is the first of its type in China and could pave the way for similar applications in the future. The Beijing Deqingyuan chicken farm waste utilisation plant comes as the country seeks innovative ways to meet its energy and environmental requirements. Providing 14600MWh of electricity per year, the project is designed to help reduce sub...

blog.briquettingpressmachine.com/subsidy-for-biomass-briquetting-plant-project-in-india/ Subsidy for biomass briquetting plant project is the unique feature of this project. The new energy system biomass briquette plant is the great option for need of renewable energy in future. Sustainable energy sources are new expect for future energy sources and that’s why biomass briquetting plant is more preferable in India as well as foreign countries. Government encourages biomass briquette plant project by offering best subsidy plans to buyers. You can find any information of government incentives on biomass briquetting project, here. State Subsidy for  briquetting machine  in India is varies depends upon government taxes. Due to subsidy for biomass briquette plant in India, advantages and profitability of briquetting press machine is great. Being Agriculture country, the current availability of biomass in India is estimated at about 500 millions metric tones per year which is ...

http://www.biogas-info.co.uk/index.php/ad-map.html This map shows operational anaerobic digestion plants in the UK (excluding those in the water industry * ). Plants can be filtered by the following categories: Agricultural  – an anaerobic  digester  exclusively using slurries, manures, crops or crop residues produced on-farm Community  – an anaerobic digester predominantly using food waste, collected from multiple sources Industrial  – an anaerobic digester used to treat on-site waste, such as brewery effluent or food processing residues Each of these categories can be further filtered by the end-use of the  biogas : Heat and/or Power (  CHP )  – an anaerobic digester generating biogas which is burned on-site to generate heat, power or both Biomethane  to Grid (BtG)  – an anaerobic digester generating and upgrading biogas, to derive biomethane for injection into the national gas grid
