meaning higher installation costs. With a greater number of series strings, the conduit, wire, and additional labor necessary to get from the array to the combiner boxes is an expense that is not necessary for the crystalline array. The higher initial output of the thin-film array needs to be accounted for, which may translate into having to use a larger wire gauge and increased wire expense. When considering the additional equipment, shipping, and labor next to the reduced module price,...

Electricity derived from coal and natural gas will never be able to outweigh the energy and continual resources required to produce it. Systems also require periodic maintenance. Trim growing trees or shrubs that may start to shade the array. Keeping modules dust- and debris-free will help keep performance at its peak. A quick system output check can confirm that all is in good working order. For tips on maximizing PV system performance, see Pump Up the Power in this issue. Keeping your PV...

We don't buy watts from the utility, and we don't put watts into our battery bank or into the grid. We buy, produce, and sell watt-hours energy. So we should evaluate wind machines based on their energy performance, not peak power, or any other single point on the power curve....

Several folks have told me not to let batteries sit on concrete. Why is that Is it because the cold concrete would cool the battery too much Steen Hvidd Dolan Springs, Arizona Your question is a frequent one. Many people have the impression that when batteries sit on concrete, energy leaks out or they are ruined. The short answer is that letting modern batteries sit on concrete does not harm or discharge them in any way. However, this legend is historically based in fact. The first lead-acid...

an automated heat recovery ventilator HRV with a high-efficiency particulate air HEPA filter provides fresh air to the interior. An exchange manifold captures most of the warmth or coolth prior to exhausting the stale air, and transfers it to the incoming air. The HEPA filtration system traps dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and vapors to prevent them from entering with the fresh air. The HRV system exchanges three whole-house volumes of air every 24 hours, while minimizing heating and cooling...
