the latest in cleantech - home energy storage

Vacationers who relax at Radisson Resort on Denerau Island, Fiji will now have a powerful 412 KW solar photovoltaic (PV)array -
The largest hotel in the Pacific Ocean
The system, installed by solar company Sunergise, will generate impressive 597MWh renewable power every year and will help avoid importing 175,000 litres of diesel per year.
It will replace more than 417 tons of carbon dioxide.
It is equivalent to planting more than 2000 trees.
Looking at the products and their packaging, thought: Must there be a better way?

Even in the most windy places in New Zealand
This makes it difficult for wind farms to make a fuller contribution to the state grid, but new research from the University of Otago points to ways to achieve a highly reliable wind supply.
A new study by Dr. Nicholas Cullen of the Department of Geography and his former master's student Peter Gibson shows that connecting wind farms in different parts of the country can improve the reliability of power generation in New Zealand wind farms.
The couple made the finding after careful analysis of New Zealand's wind cycle pattern and five years of combined wind speed data from 15 existing or proposed wind farms.
Dr. Cullen said they calculated that even two people
Regional networks connecting wind farms in remote parts of the north and south of the country can be significantly reduced by Zero
For hours.
"We basically found that if the weather is not good, there is a great chance of generating electricity in the far north, Otago and the South, and vice versa, Dr. Karen said.
Similar but less obvious changes between this phenomenon and other regions mean high-
Voltage DC (HVDC)
Technology will largely address supply reliability, he said.
"The traditional approach to wind farm site selection does not take this into account, so our findings have an impact on the future planning and site selection of wind farm projects in New Zealand," he said . ".
Connecting distant wind farms can help the government achieve its goal of moving from 73% of renewable energy generation to 90% by 2025, Dr. Cullen said.
"Our wind energy resources are the best in the world, but this renewable energy currently accounts for only 5% of New Zealand's total power generation.
"There is still a lot of room for growth in its contribution, which can greatly reduce or ideally eliminate the generation of fossil fuels," he said . ".
The Hallertau brewery in Riverhead, Auckland is the launch site of the annual NZI Sustainable Business Network Award held on November.

More information.
Stephen and Hayley Plowman, the husband and wife team at the Hallertau brewery, have been brewing elaborate beers for the past decade.
Hallertau is currently putting 20 KW of the solar energy on the roof of the brewery, which will provide about power use and is in the process of installing a beer garden which is scheduled to be completed by October, there will be 100 hops plants producing fresh hops each year.
The long concrete seat will warm the bottom of the customer and the brewing process will provide heat directly.
The Hallertau menu focuses on local-
Seasonal dishes.
Uniquely, Hallertau sells kegged wines purchased from local wineries within 10 kilometers, and since its inception, the brewing winery has been focusing on reducing packaging and providing refillable Flagstaff.
The domain name hut of Auckland Cancer Association is now (partly)
Powered by the sun.
This month, the 127 panel at the top of the building opens and will save cancer society more than $300,000 in electricity bills over the next 25 years.
The hotel is used by about 80 staff members and has more than 1500 patients living in its 52 rooms each year.
The $75,000 needed for installment payments came from some of Auckland's early funding --
Based on the supplier Solar King, the rest is raised through the "electricity supply" campaign of the society, where donors have the opportunity to buy oneor more -solar panels.
Sun Wang has set up the "sunshine light Foundation" to fund community solar projects.
The world's first cradle from Cradle to Cradle (C2C)-
Certified battery storage systems are available in New Zealand.
Aquion Energy is a manufacturer of mixed ion batteries that meet C2C certification and can be recycled indefinitely and are not recyclable
Toxic, free of rare metals.
The batteries, made of manganese oxide, cotton, carbon and salt water, are the product of the awesome brain of Mars probe project engineer Dr. Jay Whitaker, invested by a group of tech entrepreneurs including Bill Gates.
Panasonic announced its lithium-ion home battery system this month and will launch a pilot program with local retailers later this year.
Stewart Fowler, MD, Panasonic New Zealand, commented, "while New Zealand has a small number of households with solar systems, about 0. 2% of 1.
67 m, the number is expected to grow rapidly.
"Fonterra has partnered with seagulls to produce pure ethanol from by-products in the dairy industry, and now the beer industry is following, with DB Breweries announcing this month that they will produce" breweries ", this is an ethanol extracted from the remaining yeast after the brewing process is completed.
Beer companies want to produce more than 30,000 liters of ethanol.
Last month, the bio-energy Association signed a cooperation agreement with the energy efficiency and Protection Bureau (EECA)
New Zealand businesses are encouraged to use more bio-energy.
Bio-energy comes from forest harvesting residue, wood processing waste, urban organic waste and agricultural waste.
They are used to produce wood fuels and biogas for heating and transporting biofuels.
Brian Cox, executive officer of the Bio-Energy Association, said the agreement would develop a strategy to expand the bio-energy sector and promote the benefits of bio-energy to a variety of Kiwi enterprises.
"By working together, we will be able to better identify and remove barriers for businesses to move from coal to bio-energy and give them confidence in the ability of the bio-energy sector to deliver best practices products and services.
"Mr Cox said that currently bio-energy accounts for just over 10 per cent of New Zealand's consumer energy, and the Bio-Energy Association has a vision that by 2040 this percentage will increase to 25 per cent.
"BERL, an economic consultancy, estimates that bio-energy is likely to increase revenue by $6 billion per year for the New Zealand economy, so investment in bio-energy is an investment in New Zealand's future.
"We are very fortunate that New Zealand has a large amount of renewable natural resources that can be converted into bio-energy to create economic growth, increase employment and a cleaner environment.
