Sharing space between parks and energy production: walking in the shadows of solar panels

Sharing space between parks and energy production: walking in the shadows of solar panels

In newly build areas without trees, photovoltaic solar panel parks may be a good option. Raised solar panels, lowest points 3 meters high. Some can be fixed, some rotate in 1 axis and some in 2 axis.

Putting solar panels on roofs has upsides, but space there is limited and ground level parks are better for sun-tracking rotating solar panels.

Large solar panel arrays are usually fenced-off and in boring rows, but that could be different. The panels could be in random shapes as parts of faux-trees or monuments.

Of course it is nicer to have real trees, but the solar panels have to be somewhere. Better have dual use area than cut a forest area and fence it for solar panels.

Lawn and bushes will grow under the solar panels.

Sacrifices have to be made for any form of energy.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.
