New In Solar
• XsunX:– Ships Power Glass™ samples to
product developers
• MIT researchers update a relic power source: – Developed in the 1970s – Called Luminescent Solar
Concentrator (LSC)

Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada
• December 2007:– U.S. Air Force celebrated
completion of North America's largest solar photovoltaic system
• PV array will supply Nellis with:– > 30 mill kilowatt-hours
of environmentally friendly electricity a year
– > 25% of the total power used by the base population– 12,000 people

New in Wind Energy
• Wind farms• Community wind• Offshore wind
![Page 9: Solar Wind Lawrence Hidalgo, Jr. Training Director Lansing Electrical Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e245503460f94b11c33/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Wind Farms• “Having four wind turbines
on our land has been exciting. They are beautiful, silent, and our cattle can still use the vast majority of the land. Folks occasionally stop by to admire the windmills and ask for information. It’s nice to have an extra income source, and being a part of clean, local energy production makes us proud.” – Bob & Tomalee Will

Community Wind Defined
• Community wind projects: – Locally owned by farmers, investors,
businesses, schools, utilities, or other public or private entities
– Optimize local benefits – Key feature: local community members
have a significant, direct financial stake in the project beyond land lease payments and tax revenue
– May be used for on-site power – May be used to generate wholesale
power for sale, on a commercial-scale > than 100 kW

Offshore Wind Energy• Could Power the Country – Interior
Department
• According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) data: – 263.8 gigawatts of wind power could
be located in shallow offshore waters– 1,729.3 gigawatts of wind power
could be located in deeper waters– where it is not currently feasible to harness the wind energy
