Qinghai solar panel power inverter becomes largest photovoltaic grid tie inverter generation base in China

By utilizing the unique optothermal resource superiority in plateau area, Qinghai has developed into the largest photovoltaic generation base under the sluggish photovoltaic industry circumstance in China.

Early this year, 12 projects with about 310 megawatt solar panel  energy photovoltaic power inverter  generating capacity in the province have merged into the State Grid tie inverter. The amount of electricity generated by photovoltaic system in Qinghai reached 1.47 billion kilowatt hours last year.

In recent years, Qinghai has adjusted energy structure, concentrated on developing new-type clean energy, and has developed photovoltaic generation in areas like Qaidam.

To solve the uneven power inverter  generation during day and night and Internet bottleneck problems, peak shaving power inverter  station has been established in Qaidam to improve power inverter  delivery network such as Qinghai & Tibet power inverter  grid tie inverter or Qinghai & Xinjiang power inverter  grid tie inverter and expressway for photovoltaic power inverter  generation has been built.

Meanwhile, Qinghai plans to establish distributed photovoltaic generation in Golmud for test trial and aims to merge into State Grid tie inverter this year.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas' solar panel  decathlon team is one of 20 worldwide teams selected by the Department of Energy to design, build, and showcase a solar panel -power inverter  zero-energy home. And it's making Las Vegas a better place to live.

Inside the lobby of the School of Architecture, you can see a section of the future. A zero-energy home designed, engineered, and built by UNLV students.

Alexia Chen is the project manager.  Her team, made up of 15 different departments on campus, designed and will market this cutting edge house. Complete with kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom -- the usual stuff BUT it has some unusual requirements.

Professor David Baird says this is an incredible honor for UNLV.  "The goal is net zero. So that means it either produces more energy than it uses or it balances out." 

Students will be judged on aesthetics, but also on marketability. And, of course, energy efficiency.

Jinger Zeng says, "You will be drawing from the grid tie inverter when it's dark. But when you have power inverter  from the solar panel  panel, you generate back up. So, overall you even it out. You reach energy balance."

Students break ground on the house in a few weeks here in Las Vegas but the competition is in Southern California. They have to be able to take the house apart and reassemble it in California.

Once there, the judges require the students to host dinner parties and do laundry -- essentially putting their house to the test. The tests will also shape the future of architecture in the Mojave desert.

The competition is in October.  All 20 houses from around the world will be set up in a park so people can just stroll through them.  Once the judging is complete, team UNLV's house will be set up in the Springs Preserve so that we can all check it out and scientists can continue to gather data from the house and it's effectiveness.
