Bits & Peices of Clean energy & living

Who doesn’t like free stuff? Well, those who like cryptocurrency can get their freebies, too. A number of websites offer free cryptocurrency to consumers, and all it takes to get started is a bit of initiative. With crypto’s penchant for price swings, you may get more than you bargained for. And some sites may also offer cash or NFTs, which could be transformed into crypto. Here’s how you can earn free cryptocurrency for visiting sites and what to look for. How to earn free cryptocurrency: 1. Browse the web Looking for a crypto that you earn while you browse the web? The Brave browser may be for you. You’ll earn the Basic Attention Token cryptocurrency for using the browser as long as you have the Brave Rewards program turned on. 2. Sign up with an exchange Plenty of crypto exchanges will put some crypto in your wallet if you sign up as a client (just as brokerages will give you cash if you sign up as a client.) You may want to pick the best available option, although it could be worth...

Let's Pay Tribute to our Fallen Heroes Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, But we should acknowledge the sacrifice's are being made daily as well as remember memorial day & show some appreciation and to honor for our heroes, when our nation gathers together to reflect and pay tribute to all of America’s fallen heroes and those brave ones behind enemy lines as well as those missing in action. Since our nation’s founding, America has been blessed with brave men and women who have answered the call to serve; many of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect and defend the freedom that we cherish but this holiday is too often taken for granted. In times of war, it is these heroes who stood in defense of the United States, Her interests, and the values of freedom and liberty.  Their courage, strength and commitment to our country is inspiring, and we should be forever grateful for their sacrifice. Not just on Memorial Day, but every day, we all should reflect o...

The 1.1-megawatt solar facility is part of a $36 million contract that focused on energy resilience and security at Fort Bragg, including infrastructure modernizat...

Speaking of electric vehicle chargers, expect to see EV-charging capabilities as one of the most requested features for solar and battery installations. The same 40-amp backfeed circuit breaker needed for a standard solar install can also feed an electrical vehicle charger. In fact, some new inverters actually have a dedicated connection for EV charging, which lowers the cost while simplifying the wiring, permitting, and controls for solar contractors.

Among all solar energy trends, this one might impact the industry the most. Solar might be the fastest-growing industry in new energy generation, but battery storage is one of the fastest-growing asset classes. In fact, over 170 GW of new renewable capacity is scheduled for construction by 2025. There’s a big reason for that level of growth. Energy storage is seeing huge advances in efficiency and affordability. Now, energy storage is not just an economical addition for solar installs. It’s also the most flexible, allowing energy storage to provide multiple functions, like ancillary grid services and on-demand power. McNamara believes that batteries are the natural progression to advance solar energy.    “As batteries have become more efficient and more affordable, the benefits they offer outweigh the means,” McNamara said. “From a utility perspective, batteries help stabilize the grid and reduce wasteful production. From the homeowner perspective, ba...

Have Smartphones increased or Decreased  our Generation gaps? “We didn’t have a choice to know any life without iPads or iPhones. I think we like our phones more than we like actual people.” *I’ve been researching generational differences for 25 years, starting when I was a 22-year-old doctoral student in psychology. Typically, the characteristics that come to define a generation appear gradually, and along a continuum. Beliefs and behaviors that were already rising simply continue to do so. Millennials, for instance, are a highly individualistic generation, but individualism had been increasing since the Baby Boomers turned on, tuned in, and dropped out. I had grown accustomed to line graphs of trends that looked like modest hills and valleys. Then I began studying Athena’s generation. Around 2012, I noticed abrupt shifts in teen behaviors and emotional states. The gentle slopes of the line graphs became steep mountains and sheer cliffs, and many of the distinctive character...

 'It’s Not a Thing on the Roof. It is the Roof' With Tesla's historic acquisition of SolarCity now pending, Elon Musk has announced two new solar products, including one that could disrupt the roofing industry. Tesla and SolarCity could change the roofing industry SolarCity Twitter As Electrek reported, during a conference call with investors Tuesday, Musk and SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive said they were working on creating a roof made entirely of solar panels—solar shingles, if you will . Instead of tacking on solar panels onto an existing roof, the whole roof itself will be integrated with photovoltaic material. "I think this is really a fundamental part of achieving differentiated product strategy, where you have a beautiful roof," Musk said. "It's not a thing on the roof. It is the roof." Rive confirmed the project. According to Electrek, "Rive added that there are 5 million new roofs installed every year in the...

Musk said the goal of Tesla has been to “accelerate the advent of sustainable transport.” Still, with no end in sight to the current glut of cheap oil , Musk admitted during his interview with Stout that “the transition to sustainable energy [will...

Renewable Energy Stumbles Toward the Future Solar panels installed by SunEdison in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Credit Fabian Andres Cambero/Reuters It was just last summer that SunEdison was a Wall Street darling, the very air around the fast-growing company seeming to shimmer with potential. SunEdison was, after all, a red-hot company in a red-hot space — renewable energy. Its market capitalization reached nearly $10 billion, putting it on a par with the likes of Wynn Resorts of Las Vegas. Among the believers betting on its stock was the hedge-fund heavyweight David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital. With plans to buy Vivint Solar for $2.2 billion, SunEdison appeared unstoppable. And then the company went supernova. Its shares fell from around $32 last summer to 34 cents this week. Mr. Einhorn furiously tried to dump his stake in recent weeks. I...

Ikea Has Bright Idea To Sell Solar Panels In UK Stores You can buy a couch, meatballs and solar panels all in the same store. 04/27/2016 06:08 pm ET       Elyse Wanshel Associate Editor, Good News, The Huffington Post Yves Herman / Reuters The store that sells every home good under the sun now also sells solar panels. The company announced on Monday that it will sell and install solar panels in the United Kingdom. Three stores, in Glasgow, Birmingham and Lakeside, will act as a U.K. pilot for the company’s new “solar shops,” where the panels will be sold. Customers across the pond can also order  and get a cost estimate  of the panels online, and Ikea hopes to have solar shops in all of its U.K. stores by the end of the summer. The announcement coincided with research conducted by Ikea that found that 33 percent of U.K. homeowners would like to invest in home solar panels as a way to help cut their electricity...
