iSuppli Forecasts 15.8GW of Solar PV in 2010, 19.3GW in 2011

Photo: Flickr , CC Solid Solar Growth Market reserach firm iSuppli’s latest forecast for the solar power industry is out, and the predictions for total installed capacity in 2010 and 2011 are pretty positive. The forecast for 2010 was increased from 14.2 gigawatts (GW) to 15.8 GW, in good part thanks to stronger than expected demand in Germany. If accurate, this would represent 118.7% growth from 7.2GW in 2009! But sadly, 2011 won’t see another 100%+ increase; the forecast for that year is of 19.3 GW, down a bit from the pre… Read the full story on TreeHugger

We Can Use Cell-Phone Towers to Forecast Wind Power

Photos: Onsemble/ Flickr , CC. Goal: Accurate Wind Forecasts The more wind farms we build, the more our power grid will have to incorporate mechanisms to deal with the inherent variability of a wind farm’s output. Part of that will probably be accomplished by having more long-distance transmission capacity and interconnecting regional grids , another part might come from
