I was searching for Charlie Gay's solar energy talk, when I noticed a link to the blog exclusively devoted to solar PV I think. <br /><br />BoH<br /><br />http://guntherportfolio.com/2009/05/enphase-energy-and-tigo-energy-at-silicon-valley-photovoltaics-society/Brian O' Hanlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185216066875647495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156940350159100953.post-41653176798826833082009-05-03T09:16:00.000-07:002009-05-03T09:16:00.000-07:00David - you're almost certainly already well aware...David - you're almost certainly already well aware of these resources, but the US Dept. of Energy's Renewable Energy Lab has US and global maps of, for example, regions with potential geothermal resources (http://www1.eere.energy.gov/geothermal/maps.html) and more for solar, wind, etc. (Such as: http://www.nrel.gov/gis/solar.html) They may not entirely answer your desire/need for downloadable quantitative info. (which lies behind the graphics) but they are based on solid research data (heat, depth, etc.) Cheers...GHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539794547448827664noreply@blogger.com
