Terms and conditions to know in coming days....


Photovoltaics (PV) or solar cells as they are often called, are semiconductor devices that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Groups of PV cells are electrically configured into modules and arrays, which can be used to charge batteries, operate motors, and to power any number of electrical loads. With the appropriate power conversion equipment, PV systems can produce alternating current (AC) compatible with any conventional appliances, and can operate in parallel with, and interconnected to, the utility grid.



Cells, Modules, and Arrays

Photovoltaic cells are connected electrically in series and/or parallel circuits to produce higher voltages, currents and power levels. Photovoltaic modules consist of PV cell circuits sealed in an environmentally protective laminate, and are the fundamental building blocks of PV systems. Photovoltaic panels include one or more PV modules assembled as a pre-wired, field-installable unit. A photovoltaic array is the complete power-generating unit, consisting of any number of PV modules and panels.

MARKET & BARRIERS TO ENTRY: PV SOLAR TRACKING MAINTAINS 80% MARKET SHARE



According to the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) sees cumulative PV installations quadrupling by 2015.
http://optics.org/news/2/5/6

Disadvantages
Solar tracking systems are used to continually orient photovoltaic panels towards the sun. The sun's position in the sky will change gradually over the course of a day and over the seasons throughout the year. Cons: costly licensed algorithims, software, computers and several axis drive motors....all neccessary to keep the solar panels in alignment with the sun. Costly and reduces efficiency.


What are the realized gains for Solar Tracking:
In theory, the additional output yield is in the order of 25-30% but the upfront cost is approximately 25% and the additional maintenance and replacement costs can be significant.

Disadvantages of Solar Tracking:

1.Extent of cloud cover – with (heavily) cloudy days reducing the effectiveness of the panels (which then operate mostly from diffused instead of direct sunlight) and producing little advantage from the use of a tracker.
2.Reliability of tracking system – the system must be able to reliably “track” the sun and, for example, not be falsely triggered by the reflection of the sun off a cloud.
3.Placement of system – solar trackers can be used most effectively in areas with low horizons and locations that are shade free from dawn to dusk each day.

By adding moving equipment and electronics to an otherwise simple and long-lasting system, a solar tracked system increases the upfront cost substantially – by approximately 25%. In addition, a solar tracked system involves:

1.Repairs and maintenance – solar-tracked system requires regular maintenance. If the solar-tracked system breaks down when the solar panels are at an extreme angle, the loss of production until the system is again functional can be substantial.
2.Damage in a storm – a solar-tracked system is more likely to be damaged in a storm, depending on the angles of the solar panels at the time of the storm.

CTCC/STEP: THE TECHNOLOGY

"It also has proprietary technology that promises to be the future of the industry."
"The company is particularly enthused about its adaptation for terrestrial use of solar generators previously used only in space applications," said company CEO Donald MacIntyre. "We're also in the process of patenting a system that captures off-angle solar energy without the use of a tracking device that will allow much more efficient and inexpensive generation of solar power. Green Energy is still in its infancy, and we're excited about becoming a leader in this growth industry." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/City-Capital-Corporation-iw-645937422.html?x=0


2/7 COMPANY RESPONBE

CTCC/STEP CEO: Our Technology[i[color=red]]"On the SOLAR side we will have a patent that will have a 30% to 50% efficiency increase over the current silicon based Solar panels. The patent is already being filed as we speak. This is huge and industry changing PATENT.[/color] The technology came from the Aerospace technology that he and his engineer were a part of." http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=71815125
