W. Udo Schröder, 2012 • The Manzanares solar chimney was a prototype built in Spain in the early 1980's. The experimental chimney was financed by the German and Spanish governments and operated successfully for 7 years.

• The chimney had a diameter of 10 m and a height of 200 m. The base of the chimney 26 was surrounded by a 200 m diameter greenhouse with an open outer rim. The transparent plastic roof of the greenhouse was 2 m above the ground. A vertical axis turbine consisting of a rotor similar to a helicopter rotor drove an electrical generator. The greenhouse increased the air temperature 20°C above ambient. The maximum electrical power output was 50 kW. The power output was steadier than that of conventional wind turbines. The solar chimney would start automatically shortly after sunrise, synchronize and connect to the Spanish electrical grid. The chimney was supported with guy wires. Unfortunately the chimney was eventually

blown down in a wind storm. ESTS Solar Power SolarESTS

Solar energy technologies have the potential to satisfy a major portion of U.S. electricity 19 demands as an alternative to fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But utility-scale 20 solar power systems require substantial land, and at least in the case of solar thermal facilities, 21 water is also required. A recent Department of Energy study 29 concluded that meeting 14% of the 22 U.S. demand for electricity with solar power by 2030 could require twice the land area of 23 Delaware and, depending on the cooling technology, significant water resources . • Another technology for utility-scale electricity 28 generation – concentrating solar systems, requires up to 15 acres per MW and wet cooling 29 (DOE 2012). consumes 1,040 gallons of water per MWh ( • DOE 2012). Land and biodiversity constraints were 1 amply illustrated with the suspension of a concentrating solar power (CSP) farm, the $2.2B BrightSource Energy solar farm in the Ivanpah Valley, CA, when desert tortoise relocation and 3

Manufacturers in California, Ohio, Oregon, and Tennessee produced almost 75 percent of the domestically manufactured PV modules (Table 7). Crystalline silicon accounted for more than 64 percent of the annual domestically manufactured PV modules, followed by thin-film modules with nearly 32 percent. Together, crystalline silicon and thin-film accounted for more than 96 percent of all PV manufacturing.

34 Imports of PV modules shipments totaled 3,323,865 peak kilowatts in 2011. The predominant type of import shipment was crystalline silicon modules, accounting for nearly 81 percent (2,678,848 peak kilowatts) of total imports.

W. Udo Schröder, 2013 • Nevada’s new molten salt solar plant will be run by rocket scientists from Pratt and Whitney. Companies such as SolarReserve have championed the use of molten salt in solar thermal projects because unlike water, it retains heat for a very long time. In this case, it is hoped that the plant will continue to produce power for 12 hours after the sun has set. The National Solar Thermal Test Facility has conducted several

44 studies and concluded that molten salt is the most efficient material when it comes to storing the sun’s heat. • In the report, it was stated that, “molten salt is used in solar power tower systems because it is liquid at atmosphere pressure, it provides an efficient, low-cost medium in which to store thermal energy, its operating temperatures are compatible with today’s high-pressure and high-temperature steam turbines, and it is non-flammable and nontoxic.” Another benefit of salt is that it is very widely available as a natural resource, therefore costs are cheaper too. •

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) consists of a suite of rating systems for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings, homes and neighborhoods. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and spearheaded by Robert K. Watson, Founding Chairman LEED Steering Committee from 1995 until 2006, LEED is intended to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. ESTS Solar Power SolarESTS Since its inception in 1998, the U.S. Green Building Council[5] has grown to encompass more than 7,000 projects in the United States and 30 countries, covering over 1.501 billion square feet (140 km²) of development area.[6] The hallmark of LEED is that it is an open and transparent process where the technical criteria proposed by USGBC members are publicly reviewed for approval by the almost 20,000 member organizations that currently constitute the USGBC. The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) was established by USGBC to provide a series of exams to allow individuals to become accredited for their knowledge of the LEED rating system. This is recognized through either the LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) or LEED Green Associate[7] (LEED Green Assoc.) designation. GBCI also provides third-party certification for projects pursuing LEED.
