Moser Baer emerges as the 1st Solar PV Company from India to achieve 100 MW of installations globally

PV Business of Moser Baer India has attained the distinction of becoming the first Indian Solar PV company to successfully achieve more than 100 MW solar installations globally. These modules are widely bankable with leading banks and financial institutions across the world, making Moser Baer one of the preferred solar brands for the Solar Farm developers. The modules are specifically designed to generate optimum energy from sunlight which can withstand severe climatic vagaries over a period of 25 years.

Moser Baer already has the distinction of commissioning the first of its kind 1 MW thin film solar farm in Maharashtra and one of the largest residential roof-top Solar PV installations in Surat. These modules are customized to suit the area of its implementations like residential, commercial or for industrial purposes.

New Funding For Post-2012 Carbon Credits Green investments in wind, waste management, lighting and transport projects across the developing world are set to benefit from new funding for carbon credits generated post-2012. Tranche 2 of the World Bank’s Umbrella Carbon Facility (UCFT2) is now operational with initial funding of €68 million, contributed by Deutsche Bank, GDF SUEZ, and the Swedish Energy Agency. This Tranche provides the opportunity for existing carbon projects to continue selling their carbon credits well beyond 2012. Seventeen projects and programs are being considered, with a potential to reduce a total of 26 megatons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases during

. the 2013-2018 period, of which the UCF T2 intends to purchase a portion. This Tranche has been developed to complement other carbon funds as it intends to purchase carbon credits far beyond the end of the Kyoto Protocol’s first commitment period, thus offering project developers longer contract periods than available in the market at the moment. There is still an opportunity for new participants to join the Tranche, which will become fully subscribed when it reaches a total capitalization of €105 million. “During a period of regulatory uncertainty, the UCFT2 is helping to maintain demand for post-2012 carbon credits. It means we have another tool to help bridge the gap in the carbon markets,” said Joëlle Chassard, Manager of the World Bank’s Carbon Finance Unit. The funds raised for the UCFT2 increases the amount of capital managed by the World Bank Carbon Finance Unit to over US $2.5 billion.

Worlds first industrial renewable energy PoA registered from India by Thermax

Thermax Sustainable Energy Solutions Ltd in Pune, has obtained CDM registration for their Biomass Based Heat Generation Systems program of activities (PoA) CDM project from India, making it the world’s first industrial biomass based registered PoA. The proposed small scale CDM Programme of Activity (CPA) will consist of installations of biomass boilers and/or heaters for end users across India. The project expects to generate 4 lakh carbon credits per year. TUV Nord were the DOEs associated with the validation and registration of this PoA.

PowerFLEX – Flexible Solar Panels For Rooftops

PowerFLEX is the name given to this range of flexible solar panels that are suitable for use on flat roofs anywhere. The technology that allows production of such thin, lightweight and flexible panels also allows solar panels to be incorporated into materials, to allow them to be part of items such as roofing tiles or similar. These flexible solar panels can help households reap the benefits of solar power with less of the instillation hassles.

PowerFLEX has been created by Global Solar to provide lightweight highly efficient solar panels that are suitable for any roof shape. PowerFLEX should help to make the instillation of solar panels to buildings a significantly easier process. These efficient, thin and lightweight solar panels should help to simplify the process of converting to solar energy.

Solar Roof Tiles - Tegolasolare

The Solar Roof Tiles are made by the Italian company Tegolasolare. They create each tile from natural red clay and do not add any chemicals to the clay to help minimise the environmental impact. The tiles have a greater resistance to weather and knocks and they absorb less water and heat compared to more traditional counterparts.

Each tile can have a solar panel that comprises of 4 photovoltaic cells installed onto it. The solar panel is integrated into the tile, helping it to not be seen except from above. This allows the home owner to retain the aesthetics of the building as from ground level only the red of the tiles is really noticeable. Each tile’s solar panel needs to be connected up by wire strings to the next one. The tiles are all interconnected underneath to form the equivalent of one large power generation system. The wiring bundles lead to an inverter that is used to transform the current from Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) which can be then fed into the power grid.
