  1. Good god

    We all had a good laugh with the work-friend that was pressed into service to unwillingly lead the #Vancouver #SunRun team,

    And I have every intention of doing so again next year - in fact more people are already saying they'll sign up if he's pushed to lead again

    But oh god my calves

    Perhaps I should have trained

  3. Closed loop? Reused #SolarPanels to power solar panel #recycling facility

    "#SolarCycle, a solar recycling company, has installed an on-site solar farm made of reused solar panels that will power its industrial solar panel recycling facility.

    "The reused panels come from decommissioned utility-scale solar farms and residential installations across the United States. SOLARCYCLE says the project serves as a model of how to power an industrial facility through renewable energy as the US ramps up domestic manufacturing capacity. It will also help to build a fully closed loop, ultra-low carbon solar industry in America.

    "The 500KW system made from around 1,000 reused panels will provide around 50% of the electricity SOLARCYCLE uses to power their advanced recycling factory in #OdessaTexas. SOLARCYCLE’s plan is to expand this secondhand power plant to continue to generate more of the company’s energy demands, including its facilities in #MesaArizona, and #CedartownGeorgia. Two of SOLARCYCLE’s customers provided a significant percentage of the secondhand solar panels in use — #Ørsted from their own Texas utility-scale operations and #Sunrun, from their residential operations.

    [...]

    "Earlier this year, SOLARCYCLE announced it would invest an estimated $344 million into a new #SolarGlass manufacturing facility in #CedartownGeorgia. The company said it would be the 'first-of-its-kind' in the United States to use recycled materials from retired solar panels to make new solar glass.

    "The facility will be located in Cedartown North Business Park, a Georgia Ready for Accelerated Development (GRAD) certified site in Cedartown. The plant, which will be the first of SOLARCYCLE’s facilities to manufacture glass in addition to recycling solar panels, was scheduled to begin construction this year and is expected to be operational in 2026.

    "SOLARCYCLE currently operates two solar panel recycling facilities in the United States and says its recycling technology allows it to extract up to 95% of the value from used solar panels. SOLARCYCLE’s new plant in Georgia will make the company one of the first manufacturers of specialized glass for crystalline-silicon (c-Si) #photovoltaics in the U.S., with the capacity to make 5 to 6 GW worth of solar glass every year, it said. The glass will be sold directly back to the domestic solar manufacturers.

    "Solar photovoltaics are often recycled the same way as glass, cars, computer monitors, TVs, or lighting, but the process only recovers about 80% of PV materials. Nonspecialized recycling is one of the challenges to achieving a circular economy for solar photovoltaics.

    "While the moral incentive to recycle solar panels is clear, little financial incentive exists today. Recycling a solar panel ranges in cost from $20 to $30, while dumping the same panel in a landfill runs $1 to $2 – but SOLARCYCLE believes the cost to #landfill to be much higher when factoring in logistics costs."

  8. I don't get how this is marketing material on a solar company's website.

    I love the trees, but with all those trees how are you getting solar power?

  9. Hopefully, today is the last time we have to run cables from our truck to the server room, and two offices, to keep things running.

    Why? Today is the day (hopefully) that our #IntelligentBackupPower system gets finished.

    Up until now, the system hasn’t liked our #SpanIO panel, and #Sunrun, who supplied the system, won’t help if we keep the span system on the backed up panel. So for now, the Ford system will back up everything except the stuff going through the span panel.

  10. There is an #openSource cloud security company called #sysdig.com, once #sysdigDotOrg:
