This book is a resource for building your own solar PV supply for remote cameras, LED lighting systems, communication, sensors, and remote cabin and home power systems with solar PV power system examples. The solar energy resource varies with time of day, season, and local climate. Solar PV panels, sized properly, produce reliable and predictable energy production, despite daily variations, when calculated properly for each month.

Rich in amino acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, anti-oxidants, phycobiliproteins, and other valuable products, algae is being tapped as the new feedstock across industries.

This book describes how to build your own photobioreactor to grow pure algae species (taxa). Algae are Earth's "engine" to fuel the food web. As a "primary producer", responsible for nearly half the oxygen production on Earth, the power of algae is being commercialized to produce valuable organic products.

Digital publishing is a revolution - your revolution. Publishing eBooks is easy, and fast - if you know how. The most powerful communications tool on the internet, enables you to publish your eBooks, on the worldwide Amazon Kindle platform - and get paid.

The power of wind is enormous. Tap into this incredible power supply, using state of the art wind turbines, to generate electricity for sale to the Grid. Wind power, worldwide, has been the fastest growing installed clean energy power supply. Now you can Harvest your Wind Energy for Profit. How can you harvest this gold? How can you Cash-in the Wind?

There is a revolution launching in the automotive industry, the leap to electrification.The future of transportation combines three industries: energy, communications, and transportation into one smart infrastructure as the EV fast charge station. Once separate industries, energy, communications, and transportation, are now coming together to form an integrated, efficient, high performance transportation platform which will unleash the EV and obsolete the internal combustion engine with charge at your destination.

The smallest flowering plant, on Earth, is one of the most powerful, and widespread: duckweed. Usually, considered a nuisance, duckweed, upon close examination, is an impressive crop, in photosynthetic value. Ethanol, an industry dominated by the Corn Industry (King Corn), faces many challenges, including large water draws, rising fertilizer costs, large diesel fuel bills, and unintended impacts on Food markets.

Sterilizing water is a big job. Solar electric (PV) powered UV water sterilizers are an effective way to sterilize your water from local polluted sources, even brackish water, with safety, reliability, and no fuel-costs. Water found in nature is full of pathogens which can cause disease and illness. Ultra-violet (UV) sterilizers kill 99.99% of all dangerous pathogens and render your water potable and safe to drink.

The Water Battery is a technology which bridges the gap between clean energy technology, and the fossil-fuel world. The Water Battery is an industrial-strength battery technology allowing variable clean energy sources like solar and wind to be stored safely, then tapped on-demand to power electrical loads 24/7. The Water Battery is the missing link for industrially storing and retrieving electrical energy first produced from variable clean energy sources such as solar, PV, and wind.

A Green New Deal is based on facts, not fears. The Green New Deal recognizes the fundamental relationship between energy, environment, and economy. This is how the toxic man-made global catastrophes we face can all be solved by doing one thing: evolve out of burning carbon fuels, and into solar clean fuels. Fossil fuels powered the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, but the needs of the 21st century are not met with an 18th-century approach. 

In times of emergencies, electrical grid power is the first to go out. Blackouts, floods, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, land slides, you name it, the natural world can unleash catastrophes which leave people without basic services, and especially sources of electricity. Solar energy is an excellent source of power for charging batteries especially in emergencies and prolonged blackouts. This book describes how to build a solar power supply and system which is portable, rugged, and sturdy in construction.

Toxic Algae is an epidemic threatening natural waterways locally, and globally. Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) are an explosive growth of photosynthetic organisms in a body of water which can harm amphibians, fish, wildlife, pets, and human health by producing dangerous toxins.

Pump water from your well, or shallow surface source directly with Solar PV panels. Size your solar water pumping system with this step-by-step guide to defining, and building your solar water pumping project. Solar water pumping systems include solar PV panels, a controller, and the pump itself. The examples included in this audiobook match the model pump, with the solar power supply required to produce a given average water production per day.
