This represents a 12% increase compared with the first nine months of 2019. And in total $1 trillion have been sold since 2007.'https://about.bnef.com/blog/record-month-shoots-green-bonds-past-trillion-dollar-mark/ China plots course for net zero by 2060https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/oct/05/china-plan-net-zero-emissions-2060-clean-technology Largest 2.2 GW solar and storage goes live in China - very high DCAC rating, and a connection to the UVHDC network - is this straight solar panels to a transformer/controller to grid? No inverters?https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/10/01/worlds-largest-solar-plant-goes-online-in-china/ UHV in China related to the 2.2 GW Solarhttps://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/11/29/300-mw-of-new-solar-for-chinas-800-kv-uhv-power-transmission-project/  “In case you were wondering, the sun never sets - and the wind never stops blowing. Those who suggest this mostly haven't left their local place of residence. We have two killer apps that would make wind+solar+hydro+nuclear run our planet - batteries and power lines. Batteries are coming, and power lines might or might not get there in time - and the battery manufacturers are just fine with that. It would be smarter if we did both, but we the species isn't always smart. We do have the knowledge though, and we do have the tools.”https://commercialsolarguy.com/2020/10/05/if-you-build-transmission-the-solar-plus-storage-will-comission/ Vertical solar installationhttps://www.domain.com.au/news/melbourne-apartment-building-fitted-with-vertical-solar-panels-in-an-australian-first-990028/ Solar+pears - 'solar modules placed at a height of 4.6 meters - the height of the agricultural machinery that is commonly used for pear trees. 40% transparent backsheets and conventional, equally spaced 156 x 156 mm silicon cells with 21% efficiency.'https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/10/02/agrivoltaics-for-pear-orchards/ First California, now New York is talking it - who’s next?

Pulling all new wire is best, but often unnecessary. An insulation resistance test should be performed as part of any re-commissioning process.”https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cesarbarbosa925_specialproject-bestpractices-timeismoney-activity-6717932900953796608-ne_6/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email [email protected] Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.
