It’s always sunny in low-Earth orbit, so what better place to look for a source of solar energy? Online search and advertising giant Google is teaming with investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts to develop four solar energy farms serving the Sacramento Municipal Utility District in California. The pace of solar energy development is accelerating as the installation of rooftop solar water heaters takes off. An industry coalition intends to pursue an anti-dumping case, presumably against China. One in every four solar energy jobs in America is held by a Californian, and growth in the clean-tech industry is burgeoning nationwide, a new study said. A senior Energy Department official pushed hard for the government’s $535 million loan to the now-bankrupt California solar energy company Solyndra even after he had disclosed that his wife’s law firm represented the company and he had promised to recuse himself from matters related to the loan application, according to emails released by federal officials Friday Image: SunSaluter.com The idea is such a simple one: rotate solar panels to follow the sun throughout the day so they capture the most of the sun’s energy as possible. Solar power tracking systems have been around for some time, but a 19-year-old claims to have done existing systems one better.
