-
- The Interstate Solar Coordination Council has received a
- grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a Guide
- to Renewable Energy Systems for state and local purchasing agents.
-
- Expected to be available for distribution in 1993, the guide will
- include information on PV, small wind ( <50 kw) and solar water
- heating systems for government applications. The publication is
- being developed in conjunction with the Solar Energy Industries
- Association and Sandia National Laboratories and will be widely
- distributed in each state. More information will be published as
- this project progresses. (If you are interested in receiving a
- copy, contact Jonathan Kleinman, Energy Ideas, P.O. Box 19367,
- Washington, DC, 20036, (202) 307-8030.)
-
- The Photovoltaic System Design Assistance Center (PVDAC)
- maintains a database that covers stand-alone and utility-connected
- photovoltaic systems. It uses the database, along with
- evaluations of operating systems and related components, to assist
- potential users of photovoltaics. PVDAC, Sandia National
- Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87185, (505) 844-6111.
