In California, the well known do-it-yourself retailer Lowe’s is continuing its policy of ‘improving the home improvement’, courtesy of a new PV installation at its West Hills store in Los Angeles. It claims it is one of the largest commercial solar rooftop electric systems in North America, and the largest at any retail store in the US.

PV has been much in the news of late — as you can see from any online news source, renewable energy is a hot topic deserving its own newsfeed. Luckily for us in the conventional print media, the majority of such feeds are ‘dumb’. Daily — and indiscriminately — they will retrieve for you several screens worth of items to wade through until you find the few that interest you. All too often these are also short-lived. So we think that the print medium has not had its day just yet.

Previously this newsletter has reviewed progress in the various fields of the PV industry by the type of materials. In the last issue it was the turn of one of the newer semiconductor material systems, the alloy silicon-germanium (SiGe). Attention this time turns to a much longer-established materials family, the II-VI compound semiconductors. These include the oxides, sulfides, selenides and tellurides of cadmium, zinc and mercury in the form of complex multi-layer, multi-element compound structures.

In Uniondale, New York, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) is growing its ‘Solar Pioneer Program’ to offer a further block of rebates at $4.50 per watt to complement current rebates. Moreover, homeowners can obtain up to $3750 from the state, and there may be a 15-year real property tax exemption for solar systems installed in New York State.

In the UK, some 87 000 PV cells supplied by BP Solar are to be used in the construction of a new building in Ipswich. The project, scheduled for completion in December, is claimed to be the largest of its kind in the UK. When completed, the ?35m (US$59m) building will house 1000 staff of TXU Europe.
