Tell others to see http://www.thesolarvillage.com/ . Solar Fabrik built their zero emissions factor with the aim of demonstrating what they will expect of others in the future. Wise use of energy, water, air, and materials plus carbon dioxide neutral production. They’ve shown it can be done and it is a huge employee motivator and a source of fascination for visitors, suppliers and customers. As a producer of environmentally friendly technology it goes without saying that Solar Fabrik takes full advantage of renewable energy sources.
Over five hundred square meters of solar panels on the south side produce limitless solar power. A carefully thought out energy concept. The building faces south towards the sun. In winter when the sun is low the sunlight reaches deep within the building helping to heat it. In the summer when the sun is high the solar modules and glass facade shade the building and keep it cool.
The solar architecture is enhanced by a special ventilation system. Fresh air blows into the building through underground ducts. The soil has a constant temperature of about 12 degrees celsius. The cool fresh air is pre-heated in the winter. The flow of hot air in the summer is cooled. The factory it supplied exclusively with renewable energy.
Solar energy enhances the quality of life. Using solar energy doesn’t mean doing without. Using solar energy means we can carry on as normal without depleting resources for future generations.

more energy can be generated through solar evacuative tubes even in winter, and expelled through a steam turbine or even better a ortho-hydrogen generation plant for clean combustion/ efficency is increased in electrolysis due to weakened molecular bonds due to increase in temperture thus less energy is needed to break apart the molecule and the result is a net gain of energy

In short: I love solar panels too — but like everything else where there is a desire to “save humanity” — you & I (for the most part) are never included in that “humanity,” whether dealing with the anti-alternative people or the pro-alternative people.

it doesnt matter if it is cost effect or if it isnt… becos if we dont apply things like this… there will be no earth to spend the money you saved…

I didnt see the comment so I repost: Is there some kind of price fixing with solar cell industry. Seems like the prices have not droped in 20yrs with all of the new advances and simpler production, and competition methods. They are at about 30% efficiency now. Summer sun is about 1000watts max., so 200 to 300 watts per square meter!. There is enough desert to put them in.

maby oil companies or government should pass a law to allow a small percentage of oil/gas sales for alternative energies. The possiblility of thousands and thousands of related jobs in this industry are just waiting. Who are the big thinkers out there, where are you on this concept?

With respect to maintanence of a similar standard factory, how cost effective is this concept?
