Solar Powered Laptops

What is the most annoying thing when working on a laptop? Well for me it’s when the dreaded message pops up saying that my laptop is running out of battery. It is really annoying to get up and put my laptop for charging, as it breaks the flow of my work and gets me entangled in the wires.

What if there is a solution where you can go completely wireless and yet continue with your work. A solar powered laptop is an answer to the question. Laptops attached with solar panels are available in the market. You can continue working and can charge your laptop by just opening up the panels under the sun or placing the laptop under the sun (in case the panels are embedded on the laptop’s lid – Samsung Solar Netbook). It is estimated that once fully charged the laptop can run for more than 10 full hours. Not only will it save a lot of energy, but will also cut the irritable wires.

SOL Solar Laptop

The first laptop running fully by solar power was SOL, developed by WeWi Telecommunications. It is quite durable, affordable and most importantly self-sustainable. The SOL solar laptop houses 1.86 Ghz Intel dual-core processor, 320 GB storage, 2 – 4 GB of RAM, a cellular modem, GPS, and Bluetooth, standard WiFi, Ubuntu (software). All for a price tag of $300.

Samsung Solar Netbook

The Samsung Solar Netbook comes with a 1.6GHz N570 Intel Atom dual-core processor, 250GB of storage, and 1GB of RAM all for $400 – $450. Originally introduced for Africa, these laptops were also launched in Russia recently.

These solar powered laptops can particularly be useful in places where there is a dearth of electricity, or for travelers and field scientists. I think these laptops are pretty decent and affordable when compared with the normal laptops that are available today. The solar powered laptops could be a resourceful gadget for children and people having the urge to learn in far off areas having little or no electricity.

After Winning The Earth Solar Battle, Middle Kingdom Looks To Solar In Skies

China Solar- Sky is the Limit!

It would be an understatement to say that Middle Kingdom has won the battle for the solar industry. Out of the top 10 global solar panel companies, eight are based out of China with the country to host over 50% of the world’s solar panel capacity. Even the solar factories in the South Eastern countries are owned or controlled by the Chinese firms, giving them a vice like control over the global solar value chain and production. The relentless support given by the Chinese government has allowed the Middle Kingdom’s solar companies to become giants vanquishing other countries.

The Western companies have been almost completely vanquished with barely one or two surviving the continuous onslaught of the Chinese solar giants. The country has started to control even the upstream parts of the supply china such as polysilicon and wafers in a a very decisive way. The massive scale and low costs means that few non-Chinese companies can even think of challenging the dominance that has been established by the Chinese.

With their dominance on earth near complete, the Middle Kindgom is looking to dominance of the skies. The country’s China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp is planning to develop a solar energy powered drone network which will based in the near sky altitude.

These drones will provide multiple uses to the Chinese government. The normal use will be in telecommunications where these drones could provide sky based communication infrastructure for communications to far off areas as well as communication during emergencies such as natural disasters. The other more potent uses will be military which can use it not only for resilient communication and control but also for spying. This solar drone network will have better capabilities than satellites as they are based closer to earth and can provide better resolution as well as communication abilities.

Note China has already started to compete with the USA on drone technology and is already a supplier of military drones to Middle Eastern countries. The country’s military drones are far cheaper than American ones and also do not have to face export restriction. China’s first solar-powered UAV, the Caihong (rainbow) has already completed its first successful near-space test flight in June.

Solar Plus Storage Powered ATMs Start To Proliferate in India

Solar Plus Storage Powered ATMs in India

India has hundreds of millions of people living in abject energy poverty without access to the power grid. Just as the telecom revolution in India bypassed the fixed line route and moved straight away to mobile technologies, there are expectations that a vast number of these citizens will straightaway move to distributed energy sources and bypass the mainstream power grid. Minigrids are slowly catching up in rural India where startups like Mera Gao Power are using a mix of micro loans and solar powered lights to provide electricity to villagers at a cheaper rate the fossil fuels.

Off grid solutions have the biggest bang for the buck for solar powered solutions as solar energy plus storage is cheaper than diesel or kerosene powered generators or appliances. With the solar prices dropping like a stone and energy storage prices also coming down rapidly, it is becoming possible to deploy these solutions for a variety of different areas.

Energy storage giant Panasonic which is present in both solar energy manufacturing as well as lithium battery production is at the forefront in this new and fast growing market. The company has provided more than 640 energy plus storage solutions to ATMs in far off rural areas which do not have access to the grid. Panasonic is the technology provider as well as the partner of Tesla’s massive Gigafactory in Arizona which recently started production of lithium batteries for Tesla’s Electric Vehicles as well as its Powerwall rooftop solar storage solution.

Besides, solar powered ATMs, diesel powered telecom towers are also a great market for solar plus storage off grid products. India wants to eliminate usage of diesel for powering telecom towers, thousands of which dot the countryside. Many of these have no connection with the power grid and burning of expensive diesel causing pollution is the only option for these telecom towers. If Panasonic and other companies can bring cheap enough solutions, these telecom towers will switch quickly, as fuel costs are a very high component of their running costs.

10 Biggest Solar Inverter Companies In The World In 2017

Largest Solar Inverter Companies

Given below is the list of top 10 Biggest Solar Inverter Companies In The World. These companies accounted for almost 80% of the total global shipments in the first half of 2016. The top five of these players constituted more than 50% of the total shipments.

According to the Senior Analyst in GTM Research, there hasn’t been such a disproportionate market since 2010. Earlier the demand was concentrated in Europe, but later the Chinese emerged as the dominant players in the global solar panel industry, with almost 7 out of the top 10 solar panel producers being from China.

Ranking in the top positions are Huawei and Sungrow. Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant has made huge progress in the solar inverter market, becoming the No.1 player in the global market. Other Chinese companies such as Sungrow have also used their massive domestic market to become large global players. These two companies now lead the global shipments ahead of SMA Solar, Wuxi Sineg and TIMEIC. China accounted for approximately 90% of each company’s shipments.

The solar inverter industry is still in a maturing stage and prices still remain a pressure. However, solar inverter prices have fallen by 10% in the last six months.

China, US and Japan will be the largest inverter markets and the inverter market is predicted to grow at 14% CAGR between 2017 and 2021. Demand will also be expected to increase in new markets of Middle East and South East Asia.

India achieves another landmark in Solar Energy – all 200 lighthouses to be powered by the Sun

Indian Lighthouses to run on Solar power

India has become a trailblazer of sorts in the use of solar energy and the country has the lowest project costs for solar energy in the world (even lower than China). It was the only country to announce a policy for building solar panel projects on canals and is also the main creator of the International Solar Alliance (ISA). The new government under PM Modi has made solar energy the main focus of its energy policy with a hugely ambitious target of achieving 100 GW by 2022, up from just 8 GW now. The government has directed all major ministries and government owned companies to increase the usage of solar power for all major energy needs.

The Ministry of Shipping has been increasing solar energy by making solar projects mandatory for major ports in the country all of whom are in the process of building multi MW solar and wind projects to provide power to port facilities. Another big initiative the the MoS has taken is to power all the lighthouses in the country using solar panel systems. Almost 85% of the the 200 lighthouses in the country are already being powered by solar power and by December 2016 , 100% target should be achieved by the country. This is another feather in the cap and not a mean achievement given that India has one of the longest coastlines in the world.

Also read Indian Transport to get Solar Power

Solar power makes a lot of sense for lighthouses which are generally located in remote coastal locations without access to the grid. They are generally powered by diesel generators which are not only polluting but also much more costly. It is estimated that diesel power costs almost INR 15-20/kWh compared to the INR 12-13 for solar plus storage solutions in the market today.

Lighthouses are a low hanging fruit along with other off grid users of electricity such as telecom towers which burn billions of gallons of expensive fossil fuel every year. They not only increase the costs but also have implications on India’s energy security and contribute greatly to global warming. India needs to seriously increase the usage of solar energy in off grid solutions.
