A year ago, the 52-year-old University carpenter made some pretty radical lifestyle changes—he outfitted his home with solar panels and bought a hybrid SUV. Now he charges his vehicle off the sun and drives 60 miles to and from work daily, leaving a zero carbon footprint behind.

New Mike still goes big. But after consulting with industry experts, including Associate Vice President for University Sustainability Dennis Carlberg, last year he bought a 56-panel solar array from MassRenewables, Inc., in Bellingham at a cost of nearly $54,000.

Know in advance where your residence’s fusebox is located and how to turn the power and circuit breakers on and off. Mapping and labeling each circuit breaker to its relative appliance or room is also a good idea.

“If I could afford it, I’d put it on my house,” added Holmes’ sister, Diane Muyleart, 61, of Fairmont City.

The drivers who will operate the electric trucks have had the opportunity to test-drive them prior to delivery, as part of the operator training. “The drivers were particularly impressed with the responsive driveline, delivering fast and seamless acceleration, and the low noise level,”

Once he’s at work, New Mike parks at a charging port for electric cars. There are four of these stations on the Charles River Campus, and two at the Medical Campus, with more expected. For 25 cents an hour, or $20 a month, he can recharge his vehicle for his ride home.

Chris believes that the average person shouldn’t worry about this but if they want to be extra cautious, he recommends travelling with a portable power bank and charging your device from that.

“Tenaska has a proven record of success in solar development, and we are excited to pair our development skills with Capital Dynamics’ capital origination and structuring capability,” said Steve Johnson, senior vice president in Tenaska’s Strategic Development & Acquisition Group. “This transaction further strengthens the existing relationship between our two companies.”

Depending on the illumination intensity of the PV cells, the load which maximizes the power transferred from them varies, and so the control system uses a real-time MPPT algorithm to load the cells for maximum power transfer. In the case of motorized PV panels, the MPPT algorithm can also be used to obtain the optimum orientation. Since the target of the algorithm is simply to find the peak in the power transfer, the accuracy requirement on the current transducer used is not demanding, and a simple open-loop transducer is ideal for this purpose.
