Solar and wind power in Mn
Thursday, May 20, 2010
Greetings From Minnesota
Sunforce 50044 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit
Well you all know that I work in Green and solar roofing. I have been working with wind micro turbine tech to get us running with more power options. I love working in renewable energy. I think the future is going to be little to no use of grid power. Sole power for individual homes and buildings will help to take us all off the grid an less prone to power outtages caused by any natural disaster our possible war or attacks. I also think the new investment market is going to be heavily based in renewable energy and new technology that is less based on coal run markets and more on the new clean teach world. I follow some trends in Nano Tech and new trends. I got an Ipad the first day on the market. But I still do some things old school, I like to read the paper in paper form. The New paper's keep trying to sell us on the Eedition but I like to see and feel the paper every morning. I am not alone. Although we can recycle the paper its still less environmentally friendly than the e-edition but I still like to read it on paper. I work by a little ice cream store that is run on nothing but solar power on their roof. How sweet is that Ice Cream from the sun. I love it, I will even pay more to shop somewhere that they use the sun to power the shop. I personally buy all my power from my power company from wind source power. Its something you can do today and its super easy. The more people make informed purchases the more we can change the world together. Its like the product RED campign, Wear RED, BUY RED, THINK RED and it will help fight AIDS HIV around the world. We need Bono to help with solar power around the world next. What do you think?

Raining in MN Duro-last installers are wet
Well its raining again today. We have some guys out installing Duro-Last cool white roofs on a Green Globe project but I think they are getting all wet. I am a little sad about the rain because I wanted to go on a training ride when I get of work for th Mn Red Ribbon Ride. But I will just do a cardio workout at home one the treadmill. I did do my weights at the YWCA this morning I hit 150 per side on the cable fly and 1300 pounds on the leg sled getting back up to my max of 2000 about a year ago. My back is still not great but I hope it gets better as I wok on rehabing it. If you didnt know a highshcool kid rear ended me about 2 years ago and cause some problems. Thank god I was driving my volvo. I love volvo for LIFE. We have a Bmw now to but I think when it goes I will get an s40 or something. IF anyone is free this weekend I am hosting a tupperware party thats giving 40% to the RRR so its a sweet deal if you need any. AHH cell phone is lighting up gg.
Peace,
Gabe

Duro-Last Green Globe and LEED MN SOLAR
So here is the deal. if you want a cool white roof you have only a couple of choices. You can Get Duro-Last or Sarnifil. But only one is under the biggest solar PV install in mn and thats Duro-Last. There are many types of solar you can put on your roof for instance
Crystalline Silicon
The highest efficiencies on silicon have been achieved on monocrystalline cells at 22-25%
Thin-film solar cells
there are 3 main types of thin film solar Cadmium telluride solar cell, Copper-Indium Selenide, Gallium arsenide multijunction, they average 18% efficiencies
Multiple-junction solar cells
The record for multiple junction solar cells is disputed. Teams led by the University of Delaware, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, and NREL all claim the world record title at 42.8, 41.1, and 40.8%, respectively.
If you want a cool white roof check Out Four Seasons Energy Efficient Roofing Inc. They also do micro wind turbines like the Parker's Spiral Air Foil Wind Turbine
Smaller scale turbines for residential scale use are available, they are usually approximately 7 to 25 feet (2.1–7.6 m) in diameter and produce electricity at a rate of 900 to 10,000 watts at their tested wind speed. Some units have been designed to be very lightweight in their construction, e.g. 16 kilograms (35 lb), allowing sensitivity to minor wind movements and a rapid response to wind gusts typically found in urban settings and easy mounting much like a television antenna. It is claimed that they are inaudible even a few feet (about a metre) under the turbine. Dynamic braking regulates the speed by dumping excess energy, so that the turbine continues to produce electricity even in high winds. The dynamic braking resistor may be installed inside the building to provide heat (during high winds when more heat is lost by the building, while more heat is also produced by the braking resistor). The location makes low voltage (around 12 volt) distribution practical.
I think it would be sweet to have a home that runs off its own solar and wind power and then sell the extra energy back to the electric company at a high peak rate and make money off of being green. It is now super easy. check out www.fseer.com and there is alot more information or check out my youttube channel at www.youtube.com/gaberedribbon
what ever you do it is the time to change the way we thing and live for the environment and to save money and power.

Great Weekend in Mn
Well its been one heck of a weekend. Snow friday night so I had to bring the flowers in. Then driving to Fulda Mn today and back up to the cities. No doing my tweeting and youtube stuff. On to tomorrow I am going to make breakfast for my wife. On mothers day we usually do breakfast together then go our own ways to see our own mothers. For breakfast I will make Bacon, eggs with cheese and spicy breakfast hash browns, Oj and bagels. I got some nice gifts for my wife, mother, mother in law and grand mother. I hope the day clears up and gets nice tomorrow. We are all planning on being outside but its not going to happen if it snows tonight and stays cold.
