- Effect of Fuel Cost on the Price of Desalination Water: A Case for Renewables
- The only natural resource of Cyprus is solar energy, which is abundantly available. It is thus sensible to develop desalination systems which can even partly be powered from solar energy systems, either through a combination of photovoltaics and the existing or planned reverse osmosis systems or from a combination of...

- Great Wine and Clean, Renewable Energy are a Terrific Mix
- This case study describes about solar energy system which was designed as a ground mount in Saratoga, CA. This system included 136 Sharp 185 solar modules and 9 Sunnyboy 2500 UL-SBD inverters. This solar energy system provides about 34,222 kwh per year, after taking into account various real-world efficiency losses....

- WisconSUN Case Study: The Bircher Home
- This case study describes about the Bircher home which is not only energy efficient but also uses renewable energy systems, and takes a very practical approach to solar energy. The solar energy systems did not cost a fortune (about $9,000), cover the entire roof, or meet 100% of Bircher family's...
