Timex Uses Solar Power

Noel — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:06:27 +0000

Not all big companies are going solar. After all, the deal with solar power is that you can use up that much free power if the sun’s shining well. If not, then you would have to make do with not having any power at all – unless you connect back to the grid. That is one reason why big companies would rather still be with the grid – so they can continue with their operations without any chances of power running low.

But the Timex Group has demonstrated that despite being a large company, they are going for it. And what they did is they put up one of the biggest solar power projects in the northeastern part of the country. They have put on 800 solar panels in their facility in Connected. With that huge amount of panels, that means a huge amount of power as well.

Just imagine how much power that will bring the company for free.

Solar Project Helps Pakistani Village

Like in many places around the world, there are still areas which do not have electricity yet. I know this may sound like it is something that we all are not used to. After all, you may not be reading this article if not for electricity.

Anyhow, in Pakistan, there are still areas which are affected by such. One example is this village known as Arab Goth. See, it has not been receiving electricity from the grid because it is not even connected to it.

Thanks to several non-governmental organizations, those in Arab Goth can now experience the power of electricity. See, the NGOs have brought about a solar project that allows the villagers to have power to light up the dark nights.

The solar project is made up of 15 solar panels. These are able to bring power to light around 65 houses that have at least one bulb. Now people can continue working even during the night because they have light.

Largest Solar Winery In California

Everybody in California should be proud. Well, everybody who is very much interested in the solar power industry. See, a winery in the mentioned state is just about to complete a solar project that they have made for their facility. This winery is Constellation Brands, Inc.’s and this company is a producer of liquor brands internationally.

The winery is the company’s plant in Gonzales, California and they say that the project is just about to be complete. See, they have put in a solar energy system that is going to help the facility use up less power from the grid.

According to the company, they are looking at being able to produce over 1.7 million kW of electricity for a year. With that amount of power, that is almost half of the facility’s needs for power. Nice. So that would then equate to a huge amount of savings on the part of the company.

Sunrise Solar Tapped

And I can say that the Sunrise Solar Corporation is a lucky company. See, it has just been chosen to be the company to put in solar power systems on four of the largest hospitals in Brazil. In the report I came across today, it was said that Brazil has been looking at going solar and the country has already gone ahead by creating a project on developing alternative energy.

Eddie Austin is the head and the CEO of the mentioned solar company and on this, he said, “We look forward to increasing our project base in Brazil through the development of solar resources for these important facilities. These hospitals expect to significantly reduce their dependence on traditional electric power by generating solar power at their facilities.”

Now with such a project, it seems like Brazil is sure on its way to becoming ‘disconnected’ from the grid and that would be a good thing, don’t you think so?

There is a solar project that is going to be built in Japan. And this project is going to be found in the Haneda Airport in Japan’s capital, Tokyo. According to the news report, this project is going to help the airport save much on its electricity bill for it would be using the power of the sun to power the electricity needs of the mentioned place. And in building this project, two companies would be joining forces – the Tokyo Electric Power Company and Mitsui and Company.

The airport terminal would be given a solar power system and it is estimated that this project would be able to produce two megawatts of power for each year. That amount of power would be able to save the airport around 10% of its electricity bills. This would be found on the roof of the terminal and the people behind this are saying that the whole deal would begin its operations come October of 2010.
