by Tomas Alex Tizon One day last month in this normally sun-starved corner of the country, when the temperature reached into the low 60s, residents donned shorts and acted as if summer had come early. That bothered Mayor Greg Nickels ? not the shorts, but the warm weather. The temperature hit the 60s again this month, and with mountain snowpacks alarmingly low and scientists already predicting drought this summer, Nickels said he feared “the profound changes” associated with global warming had reached home. Last week, on the day the Kyoto Protocol went into effect, Nickels announced he would lead a campaign to get U.S. cities to adopt its terms, beginning with Seattle. He said his goal was to recruit 140 cities to match the 140 countries that signed the treaty. The mayors of 10 cities, including Los Angeles; Santa Monica; Portland, Ore.; Minneapolis; and Oakland, have signed on. The Kyoto Protocol, the first major international effort to reduce the industrial emissions that many scientists believe are creating a warmer climate, went into effect without the support of the world’s biggest polluter. The United States, which produces about one-fourth of the world’s heat-trapping exhaust, initially signed the treaty in 1997 but […]

Kyocera Solar, Inc. has released its latest solar PV product, MyGen Meridian(TM), a UL listed module and mounting system designed to blend in with a tile roof. The product is the first in its BIPV (Building-Integrated PhotoVoltaics) product line. In addition to serving as an integral part of the roof, MyGen Meridian(TM) pairs Kyocera’s highly-efficient “d.Blue” solar cells with black frames, making the product powerful and inconspicuous. When combined with standard concrete roofing tiles, MyGen Meridian(TM) visually blends with a home’s architecture, becoming an energy producing enhancement to the home’s roof. MyGen Meridian(TM) also incorporates two unique design features, a free airflow framing system for increased thermal efficiency and a “cassette” type module installation. The “cassette” design allows for easy installation and simple replacement of damaged modules without disturbing the roofing material. The “d.Blue” PV cells are made in a manufacturing process that creates a microscopic texture on the cell’s multi-crystalline silicon surface. This reduces reflectance and maximizes the amount of sunlight the cell absorbs, which is evident in the “d.Blue” module’s increased power output and “deep blue” color. Kyocera Corporation (NYSE:KYO), the parent and global headquarters of the Kyocera Group, was founded in 1959 as a producer of advanced […]
