Developer Pursues Floating Solar Projects in US
Justin Doom, Bloomberg
March 20, 2015 | 4 Comments
NEW YORK -- Solar Power Inc., a renewable-energy developer
backed by China’s LDK Solar Co., is joining with Aqua Clean
Energy to develop floating solar projects in the U.S. and
Mexico.
The joint venture would put solar panels on platforms in
reservoirs, quarry lakes, irrigation canals and tailing ponds,
Shanghai-based Solar Power said in a statement Thursday. The
joint venture is considering projects in California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Texas and Mexico.
In addition to the environmental benefits of clean power, the
platforms will reduce water evaporation and slow algae growth,
Solar Power said. The two companies have identified more than 50
megawatts of potential projects.
“This technology not only generates clean solar power energy,
but also serves to conserve water in critically dry regions like
the southwestern U.S. and California in particular, which is now
experiencing its fourth consecutive year of drought,” Peng
Xiaofeng, chairman of SPI, said in the statement.
Jacqueline Lilinshtein, a Bloomberg New Energy Finance analyst,
said the concept may have a limited market appeal and only a
small impact on water conservation.
“Unless the technology offers significant savings in capital
expenditures or increases output, it will likely remain a niche
product,” Lilinshtein said Thursday in an e-mail. “Any water
savings will be a drop in a bucket, especially in places such as
California, which is enduring one of the worst droughts in its
recent history.”
California’s reservoirs are less than half full after record-low
rain and snowfall. Governor Jerry Brown is expected to unveil
emergency legislation Thursday that’s intended to help manage
the water shortage.
Solar installations in the U.S. this year may reach almost 9
gigawatts, while global demand is expected to rise 23 percent to
more than 58 gigawatts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg
New Energy Finance. Last year, about 6.3 gigawatts were added in
the U.S.

The only upside I can see to this is its application to drought
stricken areas that have a reservoir severely depleted. Less
evaporation on the water surface will save the fish and the
boating tourist dollars as well as making up for the lower
hydropower energy output.
I wrote about it some time ago (July 10, 2014):
SNIPPET:
I've been thinking about that problem at Lake Mead... ::) Yeah,
I KNOW this sounds like a (heaven forbid!) Technofix, but what
do you think of this AID to somewhat reduce the gravity of the
water-ain't-there problem. ;D
You see, I just read that about 1/12 of the water along that
stretch of dams from Vegas to Phoenix EVAPORATES. Well, the
MKings of this world don't want us to do the math there,
:icon_mrgreen: but it takes and ENORMEOUS amount of ENERGY to
evaporate that much water. And yeah, the reservoirs are where
MOST of that evaporation takes place!

So, I posted this at Ecowatch on the article about the Colorado
River problems with low water levels:

Six Flags to Build New Jersey’s Largest Solar Farm and Become
First Theme Park to Be Entirely Self-Powered
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714191456.bmp
Anastasia Pantsios | March 28, 2015 8:57 am
New Jersey theme park Six Flags Great Adventure announced that
it is partnering with New Jersey-based KDC Solar to construct a
solar farm that will provide virtually all its energy needs. It
will be the largest solar farm in New Jersey and will make the
sprawling, 2,200-acre Six Flags Great Adventure the first theme
park in the country to be entirely self-powered. The park is
located in Jackson Township in central New Jersey, 26 miles from
Asbury Park on the Jersey Shore.
HTML http://ecowatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/SixFlags-1.jpg
By the 2017 season, these roller coasters will be running on
solar power. Image credit: Six Flags Great Adventure
“We are continually searching for new ways to operate more
efficiently and enhance our role as good stewards of the
environment,” said the park’s president John Fitzgerald. “Solar
power will significantly reduce our reliance on harmful fossil
fuels.”
Six Flags said that the 90-acre, 21.9 megawatt (MW) facility
will take about 16-18 months to construct and should be up and
running in late 2016. It’s expected to produce about 98 percent
of the park’s electricity, accounting for some cloudy days.
Jackson township councilman Kenneth Bressi told the Asbury Park
Press that the township, whose planning board gave the project
the green light earlier this month, is enthusiastic about it
because the undeveloped property east of the park that the solar
farm will be located on will be taxed at a higher rate and the
new facility helps assure the park will stay open for the long
term.
“God knows what their electric bill is and what they’re going to
be saving annually,” said Bressi. “They wouldn’t be doing
projects like this if they weren’t going to be around for a long
while, so this is great for Great Adventure and for Jackson.”
David Beavers, solar campaign organizer at Environment New
Jersey, also expressed enthusiasm for the project, telling the
Asbury Park Press, “This is going to be the biggest installation
in New Jersey, which is going to be a huge step in the right
direction.”
It was also revealed the 18,000 trees would be removed to make
way for the facility. Six Flags spokesperson Kristin
Siebeneicher told the Asbury Park Press the trees were mostly in
poor condition and that the Six Flags and KDC Solar would be
replanting 25,000 trees over a seven-year period.
HTML http://www.emofaces.com/png/200/emoticons/fingerscrossed.png
“Hearing that they are going to be replanting those trees, it
definitely sounds like it’s going to be a worthwhile
initiative,” said Beavers.
While Six Flags Great Adventure is boasting it will be the
largest U.S. theme park to rely entirely on clean energy, it
doesn’t have much competition yet. Last April, Tampa’s much
smaller, 150-acre Legoland Florida announced that it was the
first U.S. theme park to run entirely on renewables for one day
when it did so to celebrate Earth Day. The park’s Imagination
Zone area features permanent solar panels that continue to feed
energy to that section of the park.
Currently, the Tinton Fall Solar Farm and Pilesgrove Solar Farms
are the largest solar facilities in New Jersey, each generating
about 20 MW of power. New Jersey ranks sixth among states in the
amount of solar installed in 2014 with 239.8 MW and currently
has the third highest amount of installed capacity after
California and Arizona, according to the Solar Energy Industries
Association.

Agelbert NOTE: For those who will be offended by this obviously
unnecessary use of human technology to further trash the
biosphere by killing a bunch of trees with the, possibly
mendacious, promise that they will plant enough to replace them.
SO? It's better for the "circus" part of the bread and circus
fascist MO to be Renewable Energy powered than fossil fuel
powered.
WHY is that so, if this entertainment stuff will make the rubes
happier and thereby apparently provide more staying power to the
fascists
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/acigar.gif
that run the
show? ???
Because distributed RENEWABLE Energy will weaken the coercive
power of centralized utilities. This undermines fossil fuel
fascism while encouraging democracy. ;D

Brazil to Build World’s Largest Floating Solar Farm Amidst
Devastating Drought
Lorraine Chow | April 7, 2015 9:40 am
With Brazil’s historic drought drying up its hydroelectric
plants, the South American country is turning to solar power to
help relieve its foreboding energy crisis.
HTML http://ecowatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/floatingsolar.jpg
Brazil’s devastating drought has depleted its reservoirs causing
the nation to consider alternative energy options besides
hydropower, which supplies more than 75 percent country’s power.
Photo credit: Shutterstock
The nation announced that within four months, it will commence
pilot tests of a gigantic floating solar farm located atop the
Balbina hydroelectric plant in the Amazon. It’s currently
unclear how physically large the floating farm will be, but the
enormous reservoir it will sit on covers 2,360 square
kilometers.
At 350 megawatts, Brazil’s ambitious project would easily trump
Japan’s currently largest 13.4 megawatt floating solar power
plant in terms of power output. To put that in another
perspective, the largest solar farm in the world is the 550
megawatt Desert Sunlight Solar Farm in California.
Diversifying energy sources is clearly a necessity for the
notoriously parched country. Brazil is experiencing its worst
drought in four decades, causing electricity blackouts in many
regions. Below-average rainfall in the last few years have
depleted its reservoirs, thus gutting its formerly plentiful
supply of hydropower, which supplies more than three-quarters of
the country’s electricity, according to the U.S. Energy
Information Administration.
As Climate News Network reported, “the reservoirs in the
drought-affected region could fall to as little as 10 percent of
their capacity, which … Mines and Energy Minister Eduardo Braga
admits would be ‘catastrophic’ for energy security.”
While the sunny country has tremendous potential for solar
power, Brazil has been slow to embrace this form of renewable
energy. It was only in October 2014, when Brazil made its first
foray into this sector with the construction of 31 solar parks,
its first large-scale solar project with a combined capacity of
1,048 megawatts.
A shift to solar energy might be fitting, as the Balbina Dam
(where the proposed solar farm will eventually sit) has been
criticized for emitting more greenhouse gases than a coal-fired
power plant.
“We are adding technological innovation, more transmission
lines, diversifying our energy generation source, introducing
solar energy in a more vigorous manner and combining solar
energy with hydroelectric energy,” Braga told reporters about
the solar farm project.
“We are preparing ourselves to win the challenge in 2015 and be
able to deliver a model and an electric system starting in 2016
which will be cheaper, more secure and with greater
technological innovation,” Braga said. Electricity produced at
the farm is expected to cost between $69 and $77 per megawatt
hour, reports say.
HTML http://ecowatch.com/2015/04/07/brazil-floating-solar-farm/
Agelbert comment: This is a GREAT idea. Massive a mounts of
water loss is due to evaporation. This will cut up to 12% of the
evaporation while adding Renewable Energy.
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/8.gif
I hope the large reservoirs in the USA which are losing water
from drought conditions take up this OBVIOUS solution to added
energy while reducing water evaporation.

Listen Up: How Many Solar Panels Do I Need? ???
May 14, 2015
By The Energy Show on Renewable Energy World
For a homeowner, it’s a simple question. But in order to answer
the question accurately, solar installers need to make a number
of assumptions — as well as gather some pretty detailed
information from a homeowner. Often, by the time these data
gathering questions are answered, the homeowner is even more
confused.
The ideal system size that a homeowner really needs is bounded
by two parameters. First, the number of panels that will
physically fit on the roof — taking into account applicable
setbacks, wiring issues, shading, structural requirements and
aesthetics. And second, the size of the current (or projected)
electric bill (only the utility will benefit if the resulting
electric bill is negative). Naturally, a third parameter — the
homeowner’s budget — is almost always a factor.
Of course, a lot of number crunching goes on behind the scenes
as a good installer determines the energy output, annual
savings, and financing options for the customer. And tradeoffs
are usually offered between higher efficiency/more expensive
panels and inverters, and lower efficiency more affordable
equipment. Please Listen Up to this week's Energy Show on
Renewable Energy World as we go through a simple three step
process to determine how many solar panels a homeowner needs:
first, determine how many panels fit on the roof; second,
determine how many panels it will take to zero out the electric
bill; and third, find a trustworthy solar contractor with fair
pricing.

This Company Is Leading the Charge to Expedite Renewable Energy

Stefanie Spear | May 19, 2015 2:16 pm
I’m fascinated by companies that are leading the charge in
transitioning our energy use from fossil fuels to clean energy.
One company that wasn’t yet on radar, until I met them at the
Global Citizen 2015 Earth Day festivities in DC, is Building
Energy.
I had the pleasure of meeting several top players in the company
and had the chance to interview Building Energy’s CEO Fabrizio
Zago and Managing Director of North America Andrea
Braccialarghe.

In just a few years Building Energy has achieved an impressive
track record:
[b]230 MW (megawatts) total plants completed worldwide;
110 MW of plants in operations;
212 GWh (gigawatt hour) annual global production;
150 MW photovoltaic systems produced directly or indirectly in
Italy;
81 MW largest single photovoltaic project completed (Kathu,
South Africa); [/b]
Development pipeline for a total of approximately 2,000 MW from
photovoltaic, mini- hydroelectric, wind and biomass technology
in 24 countries worldwide.
HTML http://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons/emoticon-object-062.gif
When I first arrived at the Alcantara Magic
Garden-Connect4Climate pavilion, the Building Energy crew was
busy installing the first-ever solar array on the National Mall
to power the pavilion using energy entirely from the sun. The
3,000-square-foot solar field—about the size of a basketball
court—was just hundreds of feet from the Washington Monument.
While visiting the pavilion, I sat down with Zago and
Braccialarghe to learn more about their company.
Spear: How long ago did you start your company?
Zago: We started Building Energy in 2010 in Italy. It was a very
interesting time because Italy was seeing huge investments in
renewable energy. More than 20 percent of electricity used was
made by renewable energy at that time. Today we are an
international company with our world headquarters in Milan,
Italy and other offices in Cape Town, South Africa, Washington
DC for North and Central America, Tokyo for the Asian market,
Dubai for the Middle East and Belgrade for Eastern Europe.
Spear: Are the majority of your projects large-scale solar
farms?
Zago: In South Africa we have several projects we’ve recently
been rewarded for solar, wind, biomass and hydro. Seventy
percent of our business is in Africa. We have several projects
we’ve done in the U.S., including a solar job at Cornell
University in Ithaca, New York, completed last year, and
projects in Eygpt and Jordan. We started as a solar company.
Eighty percent of our business is in solar, but the other big
part is in wind. And, now we have two projects in biomass, one
in South Africa, which is the first biomass plant in South
Africa, and one in Serbia. The biomass plant in South Africa
burns the by-product of producing sugar cane—the parts of the
sugar cane plant that are considered waste. The biomass plant
produces electricity for the electrical system of South Africa.

University in Ithaca, New York. Photo credit: Building Energy
Spear: What’s your role with the company, Andrea?
Braccialarghe: I’m leading the U.S. efforts based in Washington,
DC. In America we also do projects in solar, wind, biomass and
hydro. But, different from our work in South Africa where we
have large utility scale projects, in the U.S. we are more
focused on distributed generation. One of our flagship projects
is a wind project in Iowa. The project is based on different
wind turbines located in a radius of 50 miles providing energy
to different communities. We are a very flexible company. We can
install a 18 kilowatt system like we did here on the Washington
Mall, but we can also build multi-scale, multi-megawatt solar
plants in South Africa.

Braccialarghe talks to a group of students about the 18 kilowatt
solar system that powered the Alcantara Magic

Day event on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Photo credit:
Stefanie Spear
Spear: How do you see the mission and vision of your company
helping to mitigate climate change?
Braccialarghe: Building Energy’s expertise is its ability to
develop new solutions for the production of energy from
renewable sources. This is crucial in countering the harmful
effects of climate change because it contributes to the
reduction of CO2 emissions and to the decrease in the dependency
on fossil fuels. Moreover, the company’s commitment in the fight
against climate change has been recently shown also by its
participation in the most famous world event about environmental
protection, and by the partnership with Connect4Climate, the
global community launched by the World Bank Group and the
Italian Ministry for the Environment Land and Sea to raise
global awareness and expand the debate around climate change
issues.
Spear: What countries have the most appealing policies to
implement renewables?
Braccialarghe: The U.S. is taking some steps to fight climate
change. In June 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
proposed the Clean Power Plan, aiming to decrease carbon
pollution by 30 percent from the power sector by 2030, also
through an expansion in the production of energy from renewable
sources.
However, one of the most promising markets for renewable energy
is South Africa, thanks to its decision to invest in this field
to make its economic growth more sustainable. In order to move
away from a market historically focused on coal, in 2011, the
government launched a National Energy Plan with the objective of
changing the energy balance within the country by 2030. The
National Energy Plan, which aims to increase available power
while diversifying the country’s energy sources, also includes
the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement
Program.

Spear: What are you hoping to see at the climate talks in Paris?
Zago: We hope that, through the United Nations conference in
Paris, world leaders will manage to reach an agreement, accepted
by all nations, to stop the harmful effects of climate change.

targets, so that every country, within their grasp, might give
their contribution to the climate change fight. And we’re sure
that renewable energy could play a decisive role in helping
countries reach their goals.
