New Jersey’s Wildwood Convention Centre is now sporting a 474kW rooftop PV system, which was developed by Tioga Energy. Eoplly New Energy Technology noted that a significant portion of the 1,700 panels used in the project are its EP-156P/72-285W modules.

EFC will sell the electricity from the solar system to the convention centre at a reduced rate under a 20-year lease agreement.  Tom Byrne, the chairman of the Greater Wildwoods Tourism Improvement and Development Authority, noted that the project was a success for numerous reasons, including environmental awareness. "By taking on this project, and reducing our carbon footprint, getting in with the go-green movement, we are going to be viewed as leaders in this area," Byrne said.

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
