Cost cutting in solar. Think recycled materials
Posted by 2011wd in CPV, Green Job Training & Education, Green Jobs, Recycled Building Materials, Solar, Solar Companies, STE, TES Thermal Energy Storage on July 29, 2009
The basic green design idea is to heat water.
Others spend more money doing the same thing on a larger scale.
Then you have the light of 700 suns…

via the Fresnel lens, something we focus on here. The trick to bring the cost down far more than the present numbers. Sad fact is most still don’t know where the lens goes. Green intergrated design is about first seeing the whole system working in harmony with the rest of the eco system.
If you don’t have permaculture at the heart of your work, your on the wrong team. Sad fact is most do not care as long as they have a paying job. That sad fact is not seen just yet. It will be when the investors take the hit. If you not cutting costs & reducing the footprint via recycled materials and integrated sustainable design it is only a matter of time before a long term price will be paid.
The objective to reduce the footprint & the cost. Most have forgotten what reducing costs means. Where are the recycled materials? Why aren’t they being used? What’s wrong with cutting costs and using recycled materials? Seems some just don’t care about the cost or about the size of the footprint as they have been given endless supplies of money.
STE Systems designs demand new suppliers

First the Solar Thermal Energy, STE System must be closed looped. Second, it must work effectively day or night in a smaller footprint than current designs. Third, it must be far more cost effective. Fourth, it must provide green jobs both onsite and off. Fifth, generators must allow additional power from Biogas as well as natural gas. Sixth, There must be a CHP aspect to the system for onsite heat demands which are extensive. This CHP system must also be closed looped.
Suppliers that can meet these needs are welcome to prove their cost & design advantages. CHP footprint is as important as the solar power space and must be factored into all future green geospatial designs. Our CHP designs must provide the number one thermal platform for optimal high heat utilization throughout the advanced integrated energy infrastructure. This intergrated energy infrastructure design is shared with CHP working partners.

We have sustainable footprint designs that reduce the cost and use of valued land with regard to STE, Solar Thermal Energy Systems. Those designs are shared with STE system working partners.

STE is the future of power, however getting that power to the required source is another issue.
One solar stock shines. Any guess which one?

Here is a clue. They are strong in sales. They are strong in plant management & being a good corp. citizen. They have a proven background and history.
Guess right and the full co. report is yours, no charge.

The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage, and as such, has historically reported net losses, including a net loss of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company anticipates it will continue to incur losses in the future as it commercializes its product. As noted herein, as a result of the Company’s current liquidity, there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
Commercialization efforts, including the completion and ramp-up of the Company’s initial module production line requires significant additional capital expenditures as well as associated continued development and administrative costs. In order to continue operations, including its development efforts utilizing its pre-production line, fully build-out its initial manufacturing line and commence commercial shipments of its product, the Company requires immediate and substantial additional capital beyond its current cash on hand. In order to address its financing needs, the Company has engaged a financial advisor to assist in securing a relationship with appropriate strategic investors or partners that can provide the funding necessary to continue the Company’s operations. To date, the Company has been unable to raise additional capital or complete an agreement with an investor or strategic partner. Although the Company continues to seek strategic investors or partners, in light of its current cash position, the Company may in the near term be forced to substantially curtail operations, file a voluntary petition for reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code, liquidate assets, and/or pursue other such actions that could adversely affect future operations. Given current market conditions and available opportunities, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to complete a financing in the time frame required to remain in operation. A wide variety of factors relating to the Company and external conditions could adversely affect its ability to secure additional funding and the terms of any funding that it secures.
P/s & P/B should mean something at some point in the long equation.
