The average Darwin roof will receive an average of about 5.9 hours of ‘peak sun’ per day on average over the course of a year, according to figures from the Bureau of Meteorology. This is one of the highest rates of solar insolation anywhere in Australia.
Darwin is one of Australia’s northernmost cities, and its location in the sunny tropics makes it one of the best places in Australia to install a solar PV system.]]> 2017-11-08 20:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/21papilev/50ua0yyjscs/wish/205044004 not alot of people are 21papilev https://padlet.com/21papilev/50ua0yyjscs/wish/205047633 (1) http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-22/why-hasnt-darwin-embraced-solar-power-to-help-reduce-power-bills/8824690
Darwin is Australia's only tropical capital and it gets more sunshine all-year round than any other major city.
Ms Sheehan said her children were paying up to $2,000 or $3,000 per quarter, compared to her bill in Queensland of $300 to $400 per quarter. 
Palmerston resident Bryan King was inspired by a colleague's Facebook post about a year ago to get a solar power system for his home, and said he has not looked back.

"All my bills have virtually disappeared," he said.


"It was only $54, my [last] bill, compared to $500 or $600 the previous quarter."

Some cities offer incentives to install photovoltaics on the exteriors of buildings or on places like the roofs of parking garages

Solar also cuts greenhouse gas emissions and creates jobs. For example, maximizing New York City’s solar potential with 410 MW of solar would reduce emissions by 1.78 million metric tons, 3.7% of the city’s total emissions. And maximizing Kansas City’s municipal solar potential of 70 MW could create 1,400 jobs and add $175 million to the local economy.]]> 2017-11-08 20:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/21papilev/50ua0yyjscs/wish/205048190 on the shore 21papilev https://padlet.com/21papilev/50ua0yyjscs/wish/205048307 (5) https://www.sciencealert.com/this-huge-solar-panel-barge-can-float-on-the-ocean
More than 70 percent of our planet's surface is covered by water, so scientists are figuring out ways to make use of these vast spaces for generating renewable energy.
researchers in Austria have developed a prototype barge loaded with solar cells that's capable of handling the dangerously choppy waves of the ocean.

Floating solar farms have several advantages, not the least of which is they don’t use up valuable land in densely populated areas.]]> 2017-11-08 20:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/21papilev/50ua0yyjscs/wish/205048307 12.4634° S, 130.8456° E 21papilev https://padlet.com/21papilev/50ua0yyjscs/wish/205056381 2017-11-08 20:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/21papilev/50ua0yyjscs/wish/205056381
