SunLight Products lights up its new web site this week to help promote its
solar-powered white LED Address and Real Estate sign lighting products,
plus custom engineered lighting solutions. "Wešve had such a tremendous
response to our solar LED products", explained Mike McLaughlin, SunLight
president and LED lighting engineer, "that we had to build a new site that
would allow our customers to order over the net". SolarAccess.com has one
of Mikešs high quality address signs and we enthusiastically give it a
thumbs up. He is so convinced about his products, that he promises 100%
satisfaction, money-back guarantee. This week's REnews sponsor:

The cool (or hot, depending upon where you live!) new event of the month
is down in Texas, where thousands of people are expected to attend the
first annual Renewable Energy Roundup. Record temperatures (could it be
related to global warming?) and higher fuel prices will drive home the
importance of the Roundup's refreshing message that renewable energy is a
big part of the solution for a sustainable future.

WIND IS UP: As power shortages threatened and energy prices hit the roof
in California this summer, state residents took a strong interest in
renewable wind energy as an alternative power source, according to the
American Wind Energy Association. Small wind energy systems are being
installed at a fast pace, according to information gathered by the trade
group, sometimes in conjunction with photovoltaics, to either fully or
partially power a home, ranch or business. Bergey Windpower, an
Oklahoma-based company that manufactures wind turbines, has seen sales
double over the last four months. Southwest Windpower, which sells small
turbines, has received an overwhelming number of requests lately for
information about their products. "When California deregulated its
electricity markets, we all wondered which way rates would go, and what
that would do for sales," said Andy Kruse, vice president at Southwest.
"It's clear now that with rates going up as they have, small wind systems
make more economic sense than ever before."
earlier this month to a solar energy module that can be connected to the
state's electricity grid. The SunSine AC solar photovoltaic module
manufactured by Applied Power Corporation is the first such device to meet
the state's stringent Standardized Interconnection Requirements and has
been approved by the New York Department of Public Service for use
throughout the state. Developed specifically for grid-tied installations,
the SunSine module provides renewable energy in daylight hours, sends
excess power back to the utility and uses the grid if the demand for power
exceeds the output of the solar panels. Thanks to a top fire rating,
SunSine modules can be installed on any roof, and they include special
adapters that allow for a direct connection to a building's electrical
circuits. For more information, see the press release from Applied Power.
solar electric modules have been installed in Cal Expo's main parking lot
in Sacramento, California. The renewable energy project was designed and
built by Kyocera Solar, Inc. (KSI), using 14,000 modules for this
540-kilowatt (kW) photovoltaic (PV) system. This system is capable of
harnessing the sun's energy and converting it into enough energy to meet
the needs of approximately 180 residences. In addition to the benefits of
cleaner power, the solar modules serve as an oasis of shaded parking in a
desert of scorching blacktop.
