Solar Data Systems Announces New and Enhanced Features for Solar-Log Commercial Revenue Grade Metering Solution

Solar Data Systems, Inc. has announced the launch of the new enhanced design of the Solar-Log Commercial Revenue Grade Meter, providing the ultimate turnkey solution for measuring solar PV plant performance. The Solar-Log Commercial Revenue Grade metering solution supports single (split) or three phase service and provides ANSI class 0.2 certified solar PV metering. It is easy to install, maintain, and operate at a cost effective price-point for commercial and utility projects.
Additional Communication Protocols, Increased Compatibility
In addition to providing near real-time inverter direct monitoring like its predecessor, the new Solar-Log Commercial Revenue Grade Meter offers adaptable options including SCADA integration through DNP3 or Modbus protocol. These additional communication protocols plus compatibility with over 100 inverter brands, provide power management tools for control of inverter production, power factor, VAR and grid export.
Additional meters can be added for total building load, sub-consumption, and net energy export monitoring.
Enhanced Enclosure Features
As part of the enhanced product redesign, the non-fading polycarbonate and ABS plastic enclosure now features a swing frame to accommodate more options in a compact package. An optional clear protective cover, appropriate for indoor installation, is also available to provide easy configuration and visualization.
High Performance Hardware
The Solar-Log Commercial Revenue Grade Meter includes a prewired Solar-Log, energy meter, fusing blocks, RS485/422 ports and CTs as needed for fast installation. The DC power architecture has been modified to increase system reliability and contribute to the cost effective price point.
To learn more about the Solar-Log Commercial Revenue Grade Meter visit Solar-Log® at Solar Power International, Sept 13th-15th, Booth 219.

Development Begins on World's First Electricity-Generating Windows for Retrofitting Existing Homes and Commercial Buildings

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., the leading developer of transparent electricity-generating liquid coatings for glass and flexible plastics, announced that it has begun initial work on transparent electricity-generating veneers. These could be applied directly on to existing windows of homes and commercial buildings, for which there are an estimated over 430 million square feet of windows in the U.S. alone.
To address the marketplace for existing properties, especially the five million tall towers that consume almost 40% of the electricity generated in the United States, SolarWindow envisions transparent flexible veneers that have an innovative ‘fastening system’ on one side and a transparent electricity-generating coating on the other. To convert an existing passive window into an electricity-generating active window with a SolarWindow™ veneer, installers would simply cut the veneers to size on location and attach the ‘fastening system’ to existing glass. Then, using a proprietary interconnection system, the electricity generated can be routed into the building’s electrical system or connected directly to fixtures for use.
SolarWindow has already developed proprietary, patent-pending, electricity-generating liquid coatings being engineered to be applied to new glass during high-speed manufacturing using existing infrastructure and fabrication processes at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The company’s transparent SolarWindow™ technology is so revolutionary that it has been presented before members of the U.S. Congress and received noteworthy recognition in many well-known publications worldwide.
When newly manufactured glass is coated with SolarWindow™ electricity-generating liquids and fabricated into a window, it has the potential of turning entire buildings into vertical power generators, reducing electricity costs by up to 50% per year. SolarWindow™ can provide a one-year financial payback while producing 50-times greater energy than rooftop solar when modeled for a 50-story building, according to the company’s independently validated Power & Financial Model. For the same modeled building, SolarWindow™ modules could provide the equivalent reductions in carbon dioxide emissions produced by as much as 770 acres of forest sequestering carbon dioxide.
For the new construction market, SolarWindow is currently engaged in various initiatives and ongoing discussions with leading financial and industry participants for the integration and eventual commercialization of the SolarWindow™ coatings into the flat glass market, which is a $72 billion industry worldwide.
SolarWindow plans to release additional information, developments, images and videos about these transparent veneers for retrofitting existing passive windows on homes and commercial building windows in the near future.

Harvesting the sun: Jurawatt brings DESERT solar technology to Jordan

Jurawatt, the Bavarian solar power specialists, are about to fulfil an order of 600 DESERT solar panels for a customer in Jordan. The panels are scheduled to be shipped from Hamburg on 05.09.2016 and will arrive at their destination about a month later, marking a major milestone in the creation of a sustainable energy policy for the country. In 2015, 96% of Jordans electricity supply was still being generated from imported fossil fuels: the risks of such an energy policy in a politically volatile region were briefly highlighted in 2011 when Egypt temporarily shut off natural gas supplies during the Arab Spring uprisings.
Now, Jordan is taking important steps to be more self-sufficient in energy production. In this region, with its bountiful sunshine, solar energy is an attractive solution. However, high temperatures have presented a problem for the expansion of solar power programmes in the past. Standard solar panels, designed for use on the roofs of houses in European countries, are less efficient in very hot climates and lose much of their capacity after just 10 years. Jurawatt have the solution for the sunniest parts of the world: their innovative DESERT technology 60-cell solar panels are designed to function in extreme temperatures and challenging environments.

DESERT technology panels: functional in extreme conditions
The advantages of DESERT technology solar panels include:

– Sixty cells in each panel
– A lifespan of up to 20 years, showing a greatly enhanced price to performance ratio
– Functional in temperatures of up to 125C, where standard panels fail at temperatures of more than 80C
– Resistant to harsh climatic conditions, such as sandstorms
– Fully recyclable
– Optimum output in higher temperatures

A promising outlook for solar energy in Jordan
The potential for solar powered electricity generation in Jordan is vast, as the country enjoys more than 320 sunny days each year; average solar radiation ranges from between 5 and 7 KWh/m2, implying a potential of around 1000 GWh per annum. While the target is for a third of individual households to have water heated by solar power by 2020, the main focus of the countrys sustainable energy diversification strategy is to develop large CSP (concentrated solar power) projects in the Maan development zone. Jordan is rapidly developing the infrastructure needed to exploit the full potential of solar power: the development zone is set to produce 4% of the countrys energy needs, reducing Jordans reliance on imported fossil fuel and offering the potential to export surpluses to neighbouring countries.

The future looks bright
Jurawatt have already announced further orders for Jordan: the state of the art DESERT technology looks set to reinforce the reputation of the company as a leading innovator in the field of solar energy.
