The SolarClover is a modular, easy to install rooftop energy system for home owners, businesses and anyone looking for an attractive, easy to install solar system or for highly resilient, rapid deployment systems for challenging applications. We implemented a rooftop solar system for San Jose, CA City Hall to magnify the City's commitment to clean energy with a lightweight, durable design enabled by DuPont Tefzel ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE)-based frontsheets.
Armageddon Energy is a Silicon Valley solar startup that develops attractive, easy to install solar energy systems for consumers, the military and commercial microgrids, particularly in emerging markets. Armageddon Energy was one of the first solar companies to develop and commercialize a lightweight polymer solar panel using crystalline solar cells. Armageddon Energy also developed an innovative rapid deployment racking system and site analysis software that enables anyone with a cell phone and a simple plastic device to instantly measure and analyze the potential of a customer site to produce solar energy.
SolarClover panels are constructed of advanced polymer materials that enable them to be exceptionally lightweight, low-maintenance and rugged. SolarClover panels use the same inexpensive, high-efficiency silicon solar cells that most solar panels use, but instead of a metal frame and glass front to the panels, we rely on a number of lightweight yet durable polymer films and composites. This allows us to offer different form factors, better handling during installation and better performance with regard to weight, operations and durability.
The biggest buyout yet in solar – residential solar continues to grow at a tremendous clip in the US.
Solar at an inflection point –
I posted a new photo to Facebook http://t.co/5hDjBVfk9t
Interesting energy news – more miles are being driven in the US, but less gas is being consumed overall – and EVs haven't even taken over yet :)
Prices for renewables will just keep falling, but fossil fuels will bounce back when demand bounces back –
Greentech Media has a nice overview of the continued rapid growth and evolution of solar in the US – http://t.co/fxKmRWVITG
Look at the 90 percent drop in solar prices versus 300 percent increase in oil since 2000, and ask yourself what... http://t.co/Mz0ivZ4UMT
In Australia, rooftop solar is pushing down the price of electricity -- http://t.co/9xVMJZR9la
