The panel has no moving parts, no expensive electric cells, so you get a very cost effective system that can power 30% of your home’s energy needs year round.

I graduated this year, everybody think it is not a good time to find job. Fortunately, I finally find a job as a sales. Inverter, I never knew this, I never heard of this products. But it really walks into my life. I do not know sales, I do not know how to sell. When people ask me about the inverter, I become very happy. Because I know maybe he is the next customers. I used to hate sales, because I think they are very goody-goody. But now I realized that., to be a sales, is not to earn other people's money cpmpletely, but how to help people to purchasing the goods need. I will cherish my job, I will remember these days. - Simin Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:06:39 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-32133 Every time we visit the in-laws in Texas I say 'Wouldn't it be great if all the parking lots had roofs with solar panels on them - to catch the energy and provide shade at the same time'? There are so many couples down there where one stays in the car with the motor running to keep the AC on (yes, I know, it doesn't do anything if the car isn't running...) while the other one runs into the store to buy things. And I mean not just run in quickly to buy a paper or so. Yeah!! I actually started clapping when I read this - we need more initiatives like these!! :D - SilenceIsGolden Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:42:28 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-32074 Well, actually in most any state, the same parking lot covers could be linked to rain storage as well as solar collection. So if a car is not pulling power from the solar array, where does it go in this installation? - OregonFarmer Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:48:41 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-32003 Solar energy is very clean and is a good alternative for traditional electricity. The energy comes from the sun's rays and is known to be very environmentally friendly. It is a clean form of energy. To produce electricity or heat you only need the sun rays. You just need a solar energy collector or solar power panels in order to convert the energy into electricity. It is cheaper than to use traditional electricity .

I have been wondering about this topic,so thanks for sharing. I will certainly be subscribing to your blog. - uggs Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:51:01 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31952 Cool website, like what I have read. Will definitely be back to read again. - diesel jeans Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:40:14 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31907 WOW, what a great idea. I hope it catched on for everyone.

It all starts one step at a time anyway, right? - Richard Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:58:43 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31838 Did you know that Westinghouse is trying to send 100 million pounds of Missouri's nuclear waste to Idaho? Did you know that the site they want to send it to is neither approved by nor regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission? Does Idaho really want to be a target destination for nuclear waste? A dedicated group of Idaho citizens is trying to inform everybody it can about this. We could sure use your help! Come learn more about this at our web site: www.cleanidaho.org. Thanks!

Not only can we provide shade, we can also use them as sources for fuel for electric cars. Kudos! - Richard Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:46:38 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31811 I think its kWh, not kW/h. - Nate Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:55:39 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31810 It is quite a brilliant idea, and anyone who has gotten in to a car after it has been sitting in the sun all day knows how much heat and energy can be reached. I am not quite sure why they call it a Solar Tree, just because it provides shade for other cars. Still it is a good idea, and kudos to Dell. - VeruTEK Green Technologies Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:48:46 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31809 Article doesn't mention it, but is the power currently being generated at least being tapped to power the buildings? - EV Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:48:33 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31807 Silly to call it a solar tree-- but still a good idea. What matters most is the mounting and installation cost/Watt. In theory, it could be equal or lower than roof mounts, and there is more parking lot area available than roof area. Shading of cars is an added bonus. You would think it would be cheaper and more stable if there was a continuous strip of panels. If parking lots were solarized on a mass scale, then specialized trucks and equipment could be used so one small team could install a I have statistics for San Mateo County, CA (home of Tesla)-- if 50% of commercial/industrial sites were covered in solar panels (1.6% of land), that would meet 100% of the kWh/day demand for the whole county, even without any farm/residential area. For the next 20 years you wouldn't want to charge a car with a solar panel. Until we have more daytime electricity than nighttime, it's better to use car charging to fill the dips in demand. - Carl Hage Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:31:36 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31806 The best thing is they look like they provide better shade than most real trees I see in parking lots. - Adrienne Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:25:10 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31805 its sexy 2 me..goes 2 show one's man 'meat' is sometimes anoda man's poison :D - alex Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:05:44 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/2985-dell-plants-solar-trees-in-the-parking-lot#comment-31804 I wouldn't call is "Sexy-looking" in the slightest.
