Mexico Invests Big in Solar Power
July 3rd, 2012 by 
Conermex, one of the largest solar and wind power companies in Mexico, predicts that Mexico will double their capacity of solar within 2012, from 6 to 12 MW.
Mexico’s National Solar Energy Association (ANES) says that Mexico could possibly generate all their electricity with solar power in the future.
Mexico receives somewhere around 400 TW of solar energy annually, which puts them in the top five countries in the world with the greatest extension of territory with solar irradiation.
There has been a 150% increase in photovoltaic investments from 2010 to 2011, or $20 to $50 million dollars, and this number is expected to further increase this year.
Even though there has been quite a lot of growth in the solar sector in Mexico, Carlos Flores, CEO of Conermex, says that solar investments must be taken even further if solar is to become the energy foundation of the country – not to mention the work that has to be done in energy storage.

The World Goes Solar. Japan’s FiT in July is among the highest in the world. It’s clear that Japan’s FiT will shake the solar market. Now, US has the same options. New solar technology will show in Japan. This is it!
As you know, earthquake in japan is happening frequently. Floating solar panels installation is one of the best solutions for power crisis in Japan. So you have to reduce vibration to install Floating solar panels. Because, it makes many kinds of problems! Vibrations caused by wind, waves and external forces. New Floating Body Stabilizer for Floating solar panels installation has been created in South Korea. The Floating Body Stabilizers generate drag force immediately when Floating solar panels are being rolled and pitched on the water. Recently, these Floating Body Stabilizers have been used to reduce vibration of Floating Solar Panels in South Korea. You can see New Floating Body Stabilizer videos in YouTube. http://youtu.be/O2oys_YHhCc, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA_xFp5ktbU&feature=youtu.be.
