Renewable & Alternative Energy Solutions

There has been a lot of talk about renewable and alternative energy for the past several years.  The concept is not new but the technology has finally evolved to become a viable source for supplementing the electric consumption of people and facilities around the world.

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat— all which are renewable (naturally replenished).

The manufacturing output of the photovoltaics (Solar) industry reached more than 2,000 MW in 2006. Solar thermal power stations operate in the USA and Spain, and the largest of these is the 354 MW SEGS power plant in the Mojave Desert.
 
Wind power is growing at the rate of 30 percent annually, with a worldwide installed capacity of over 100 GW, and is widely used in several European countries and growing in the United States.
