We’re pretty close to releasing the full specifications and images for the Sun Simba HCPV system, and will be uploading images here and on the website fairly soon.  We’re putting together the final details of the spec sheet right now, and are looking forward to having the working demonstration system available in September.
The Sun Simba [...]

This week, a couple of people have asked why there’s not much on the website about our actual products. There will be, and soon too. But there are a couple of reasons we’re being vague.
First off, the reason we’re not formally announcing anything concrete or specific yet is that we’re sorting out some final patent [...]

Here’s part two of my wrap up of Intersolar North America 2008. Obviously, this doesn’t even scratch the surface of what was covered at the conference, but these were some of the things that stuck out in my mind. Also, I haven’t added anything about the exhibition - I spend quite a bit [...]

This turned into a longer post, so I’ve cut it in two. The second part will come out tomorrow.
The organizers did an excellent job of putting together the conference, and the quality of the speakers was outstanding. In particular, Travis Bradford of the Prometheus Institute, Hal LaFlash from PG&E and Dr. Fred Morse [...]

FYI, there is an unofficial Morgan Solar blog as well, which has most of the same content as this one, but with some posts that really don’t belong here. That’s where the off-topic, less formal or more opinionated stuff goes.  Check it out if you’re interested.

The Investment Tax Credit is the major US Federal incentive for Solar Energy in the US.  The most basic description of it would be that it’s a 30% tax credit on the installation of a Solar Power system.  The credit is worth up to $2000 for individuals, and with no cap for businesses provided [...]

It’s a little long, almost 30 minutes, but very cool and I think as a society, we have the technology and the resources to do it, all that’s lacking is the will.  It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be worth doing. Here at Morgan Solar, we’re going to do our part. Here’s [...]

Short update here - I’m going to document what I’ve been picking up here, and some of it will be posted on the blog.  I’m amazed at the quality of the presenters and presentations.  A few highlights:

The ITC is a huge concern, it’s looking like it might not pass which will impact the US solar [...]

So, after some consideration, we’ve decided to keep this blog a little more focused and on topic.  We’ll still talk about the solar energy industry and provide some weekly summaries of the important stuff, but anything that really isn’t about Morgan Solar, our products or our progress will be posed here instead.  The posts that [...]

While we’re sorting out the last few issues of the blog back end, I’ll be on my way to Intersolar North America 2008 in San Francisco. I’ll be grabbing lots of pictures, taking lots of notes and posting from there. See you Monday.
