US SunShot initiative backs promising solar firms with $5.8m

The US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has handed out $5.8m to a quartet of promising solar technology companies as part of its high-profile SunShot Incubator programme.

Tigo Energy was given more than $3m to pilot a low-cost DC arc-fault detector, which is designed to enhance the safety of PV arrays while reducing operations and maintenance costs for system owners.

It’s Official: Cogentrix $90M DOE Loan Guarantee for 30MW CPV Project

The concentrated photovoltaic market is stirring. A few weeks ago, we brought news of the largest CPV project in the U.S. Developments from SolFocus, Soitec, Solar Junction, and Amonix continue to make the news.

U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu just made the $90.6 million loan guarantee to Cogentrix official this morning for the construction of the Alamosa Solar Generating Project, a 30-megawatt high concentration solar photovoltaic (HCPV) project in south-central Colorado. That 30 megawatts would hold the title as the largest CPV project in the world when it is completed at its target of mid-2012.

Cogentrix, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, estimates that the project will create about 100 construction jobs and 10 operations jobs. The project will source over 80 percent of its components from the U.S. Most of Cogentrix’ previous projects have been for fossil fuel plants.

Cogentrix plans to use the mammoth concentrating panels from CPV veteran Amonix, the Kleiner Perkins- and Westly Group-backed solar hardware supplier. Ben Kortlang, the KPCB partner on the Amonix board of directors, spent eight years at Goldman Sachs prior to his Kleiner Perkins role and investment in Amonix.

so he backs anti Jewish comments.
arrests on a large scale.
shouting kill the cops
bringing unsanitary conditions
ruining an area
crapping and pissing on a cop car
crapping and pissing on the street in public.
drugs in public
destroying an area especially like in Boston which had just been done over and had cost a 150 grand

On top of all that he supports taking more money out of his pocket and letting those with no money live at one of his mansions?

Oh and not one of them has a common demand and half of them have said they have no idea why they’re there.

Yep Gore you and your lefty pals sure are smart but please go ahead because all those commie signs, socialist signs, all those arrest, destroying property and clueless fools interviewed will be made in many AD’s with the ending of you, Pelosi and zero all saying how they support you and then end the AD with a caption.

Is this the change you voted for, the party of JFK is no more, as you can see they have been taken over by commies, layabouts and socialists.
