is coming clean energy consumptionAnother issue discussed was that and in 2010 Spain was a 37% renewable energy. Now I read that in April it was 52.6% produced from renewable sources.
Any building can produce its own energy. This is technically feasible and is becoming more, by installing solar photovoltaic generators. This actually started in our country by a decree of 2000, which contributed decisively from Greenpeace.
Since then we have seen it who seemed a utopian dream has grown, and solar energy currently produces between 2% and 3% of the electricity used in Spain.
(...) That's where it makes sense and becomes important to subsistence. The government knows this and is preparing legislation to allow it, which contains many positive elements, such as a simplified procedure for smaller power plants, the announcement of a compensation system for balance between energy produced and consumed, and extension of this system beyond the solar energy for any system of renewable energy or cogeneration.
However, fear of upsetting the power that the Government has put new barriers, or rather, to keep these distributed generation facilities subject to some of the biggest barriers that currently hinder the overall growth of renewables, and it does not obviate these facilities be subject to the maximum quotas limiting how much renewable energy can be installed each year in Spain, or are exempt from this guarantee as a large center.
Greenpeace has objected to the new decree to improve it and asked to enter into force as soon as possible. Because, however much they insist, can not stem the tide.

According to WWF, renewable energy generated in April, 52.6% of the electricity
At number 56 of the Electricity Centre, WWF highlights a further increase of renewables in electricity production. In particular, they represented 52.6% of the total during the month of April. The result is that CO2 emissions from this month were 22.3% lower than March. However, the negative item is still burning coal and increasing electricity generation by nuclear power. Read more

Greenpeace calls for each building permit to produce and consume their own electricityread more ecoticias.com
Greenpeace has objected to the Royal Decree that the Government is prepared to allow any building to produce and consume the electricity you need, something impossible with the current rules. The proposal of the Ministry of Industry ("Proposed Royal Decree regulating the networking facilities of electric power production of small power") maintains limitations Important as it does not exempt such facilities be subject to the maximum quotas limiting how much renewable energy can be installed each year in Spain, or are exempt from this guarantee as a large center
One of the solutions is that electric cars can absorb that energy when charging their batteries overnight .Photovoltaics also creates difficulties for the network. "We do not know how much they produce in real time, so we have beyond our control a power that exceeds the three nuclear"
Lethttp://www.buscalogratis.com/ecologia-un-tercio-electricidad-origen-renovable-en-espana.htmIn the months of January and February have produced renewable 30% of the electricity consumed in Spain, according to Red Electrica of Spain, the company that manages the system.
eight years ago, think about getting 30% of electricity from renewable sources sounded utopian. However, in the months of January and February, with good rain and wind, and less demand than in previous years by the crisis have produced renewable 30% of the electricity consumed in Spain, according to Red Electrica of Spain the company that manages the system. This means that the country meets the target of 29.4% that the EU established in 2001 to 2010.
On 16 January a U.S. president put Spain as an example. It was Barack Obama who, when he announced his plan for clean energy, said that his country would not be left behind. "Spain Germany or Japan invest and are prepared to take leadership in this new industry, "he said. In the U.S., 10% of electricity is renewable, while in the United Kingdom does not exceed 5%. In Spain, in 2008, wind and hydropower generated 18% of the total.
There are several factors that explain the data, as the drop in electricity demand by the crisis: 2.9% lower in January compared to the same month of 2008 , and 9.8% lower in February, but last year this month had one more day. This decline makes the emergence of the installed power for a decade. This means that if Mills were set for years but the percentage of energy clean up slowly because the total demand increased again, now the situation has reversed. In addition, the increased rainfall has been that there is more hydropower 126.47% between January and March 6 in the same period last year. The hydraulic assumed in February to 15.6% in February and 15.8% wind power.
Chief Electrical operation, Miguel Duvisón, said yesterday that the first two months of the year the conditions have been ideal, but it is not a cyclical data: "Although down somewhat over the coming months, the Renewable not walk away from current levels and the total of the year will closer to 30% to 20%. "spring is expected to maintain the percentage if the rains continue even ease somewhat in the summer.
Last Thursday, the wind broke the record again. At 11.10, 29% of electricity demand came from the windmills (with 74.5% of wind power in operation). That morning, the wind for several hours covered 40% of electricity generation. Spain-a country with more breaches of EU environmental policy-Met and for the first time for a significant period with the goal of renewable Brussels.
To this we must add that this year the solar energy will begin to be significant due to the boom experienced by the sector until last September Industry root cut it to put a stop to the facility. "On sunny days in Spain this summer, the PV can reach 5% of production," says Heikki Bureau, responsible for climate change WWF Spain.renewable
But so also generates problems. The morning of Sunday November 2, 2008, Red Eléctrica disconnected 37% of the mills because they could not absorb all the electricity they produced. Spain suffered a great time, and at that time there was sufficient demand. The situation was not new, but never had wasted so much clean energy.
Electrical has a pioneering system to control at all times and manage the wind power windmills off areas if necessary.
Duvisón says the system also needs more interconnections with France to export electricity at the times and import it on when necessary as exchange capacity is 3%. Reversible dams are also required to pump water uphill when on production and recover something when missing. And in the medium term, the Government wants a million electric cars by night store of renewable electricity.
Wind Energy Association points out that in 2008 the mills avoided fossil fuel imports 1,200 million, generated 40,000 jobs and avoided the emission of 20 million tons of CO2 (5% than it emits Spain).
Photovoltaics also creates difficulties for the network. "We do not know how much they produce in real time, so we have beyond our control a power that exceeds the three nuclear" laments Duvisón. Power Grid has asked the Government solar farms that send their output at all times, as he begins to notice that sunny days there is a gap between planned and actual demand, when the solar panels are launching the massive quantities of electricity network without it being planned .
The drop in electricity demand by the crisis brings to light the focus on renewable years, involving 3,800 million in premiums a year, and put Spain into the path of the target of 40% green electricity 2020 set by the EU.

Derived from various provisions laid down in National Development Plan 2007-2012, the Law on the Use of Renewable Energy and Energy Transition Funding, Regulations and the Special Climate Change Program 2008-2012; you can install in your home or business your own source of renewable energy or cogeneration system in small or medium scale and make an interconnection contract with CFE.
By doing so, save on your expenditure on account of energy consumption, will contribute in the use of clean technologies for power generation in the use of renewable sources of energy and thus on environmental conservation.
The requirements for an interconnection contract with CFE on a small scale, is that you have a normal supply contract at low voltage, that the facilities comply with Mexican Official Standards and specifications CFE, and the power of your source no greater than 10 kW if installed in your home or 30 kW if installed on your business.
To make an interconnection agreement in medium scale, the requirements are that you have a normal supply contract in medium voltage, that the facilities comply with the Official Mexican Standards and specifications CFE, and the power of your source is not greater than 500 kW.
The contract is indefinite and may be terminated when you want to give 30 days earlier.

Mike Strizki is called, lives in New Jersey, is engineering of roads and has achieved something truly remarkable: not pay a penny in their domestic bills and not emitted into the atmosphere anything but oxygen.
installation Price: $ 500,000!
The concept is simple, solar panels whose excess production on sunny days takes an electrolyzer, where the water breaks H and O. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere and the hydrogen is stored in tanks for conversion into electricity (through a fuel cell) on cloudy days. In addition, Strizky uses the same hydrogen to power your car biological.invention
The price of the pocket away from the ordinary mortals, and the efficiency of conversion of hydrogen to electricity is far from optimal (loss of up to 50%) but it's all a first step. Hopefully the series production will depress prices.
In a press release Wind Section APPA has said is a "contradiction" to tax more to these facilities to those already applied to them, such as Tax on Construction, Installations and Works.
his opinion the Tax on Construction, Installations and Works "is applied to a standard that tax collection due to a desire superior to any other industry, about a technology like wind which, like all other renewable energy acknowledges that law in its preamble as a source of supply that respects the environment and taking advantage of indigenous resources, contributes to reducing energy dependency. "
For Section Wind APPA, this tax treatment," the onerous conditions attached to Access and abusive leases, makes renewable wind energy in general and look particularly expensive to unbearable extremes, trying to solve municipal policies and regional funding should not have this support and that coexist uneasily with a policy of promoting renewable energy and thus lowering costs to all of society should be committed. "
In another vein, Section Wind APPA has been considered a "contradiction" that the revenue generated by that fee "is intended for the implementation of actions to boost and promote the rational use of energy and renewable energy "as provided by law. And
have argued that as "the best way to develop and promote renewable energy is not higher taxation and promote its cheaper. This, quite the opposite of what the law says, not technological development but also promote that will make it increasingly difficult to attract to the Community of Castilla-La Mancha investment in a sector, renewable energy, that is going through a difficult time in part because of the lack of stability in the regulatory framework and the establishment of a fee to facilities already in operation is further evidence of that regulatory instability.

I have already spoken of the new CIGS solar material ( Copper indium gallium selenide) and searching I found this on Amazon. 
solar panels become transparent
How about your windows were able to perform the dual function as well as solar panels that trap energy from the light of day? That's the idea behind the organic solar concentrator, a new solar power generation device. MIT researchers thin sheets of glass covered with organic dyes that absorb certain colors of light while letting others pass through. Redirect dyes absorbing solar energy and then re-emit the light toward the edges of the window, where conventional solar cells are located (opaque) to transform it into electricity. Unlike mirror-based solar concentrators, this new system (described in the journal Science ) does not need refrigeration. The researchers say that it is still necessary to refine the system to improve durability and efficiency - estimated at 6.8% - before considering to market.

American The company Konarka Technologies Inc has launched this prototype as an alternative the classical plate fotovolcáicas to which we hardly even had time to get used to. Their installation would much simpler and of course would be much more discreet .
Currently Konarka has signed an agreement with Arch Aluminum and Glass, a construction company, to be incorporating these cells in some building materials, especially on glass windows. In this way not sacrificed aesthetics of the house and optimizes energy use.In fact, the cells are flexible plastic that will go right between the glass plates . Although Option majority considered is to incorporate in the construction sector, it is believed it could be a useful discovery military tents or any portable charger.However when it comes to a more spectacular than useful. In fact the average life of these cells is much lower than that of plaques that are often useful fotovolcáicas about 25 years . His level of efficiency also significantly lower, as compared to 20% of silicon cells that form the normal plates , they only reach a maximum of 6% .
A kilo of CIGS solar cell integrated into a produce much electricity as five kilos of enriched uranium
Each volt generated in our own home again all us away from dependence on oil and nuclear betting corporations. But also can protect us from a power outage and the rise in energy prices.The information has been collected from a multinational study of Nanosolar, who claim to be "building the largest solar cell factory in the world in California." This company will be present on 29 January in Seville at the International Conference on Low Cost Solar Energy, which will be presentations on new solar technologies: organic polymers, plastic solar cells and CIGS thin film cells (an acronym referring to the combination of copper, indium, gallium and selenium). The multinational has Nanosolar released a study showing that "a kilo of CIGS solar cell integrated into a produce as much electricity as five kilos of enriched uranium at a nuclear power."
According to Energy-Global Events division Brent Energy Consulting & Trading, responsible for organizing the Conference of Seville, "this information on the efficiency of this technology is attached to its low cost and its many applications, which make with other solar technologies such as organic and plastic in the future of solar energy worldwide. " CIGS cells do not integrate solar grade silicon, a key element (And expensive) for conventional solar cells.
