Webinar 2 | Apr-16 | Shell Foundation: Learning from Failure
From Heidi Hafes
“Failure” – the word usually carries a negative connotation. But for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and NGOs working to provide energy access to people in the “last mile”, failure can actually provide important lessons. Is failure an important ingredient to success?
In this webinar, we’ll gather experts who will talk openly about their experiences with failure from a variety of angles and why failure is actually an important element in successfully delivering energy access to remote communities.
What have they learned from these so-called “failures”? Must one fail to succeed? Most importantly, how can these stories of failure (and success) help remote villages to access energy, education, healthcare, etc.?
Our webinar series is a little different: each expert will speak for less than 10 minutes and will focus on their on-the-ground experience using photos to tell their story.

Cheong Yin Ying
An engineer from Duke University has proposed a hybrid solar system that uses three renewable energy technologies to convert sunlight into electricity and hydrogen for individual households. The system combines solar, electrolysis, and fuel cell technologies to efficiently capture and store solar energy. While the initial installation costs are higher than fossil fuel generators, hybrid solar systems can compete with fossil fuels and help reduce dependence on natural gas plants. The system represents an environmentally friendly and innovative approach to renewable energy generation that may be worth exploring for implementation in high-rise buildings in Singapore.
Green Energy
The document provides an overview of opportunities in green investments for Dubai Holding. It analyzes the renewable energy and green tech sectors in the US, EU, and China to identify attractive investment opportunities.

Executive summary for Last Chance Saloon for CSP (Concentrated Solar Power)
This is the executive summary for "Last Chance Saloon for Gen 3 CSP" which is a report and forecast from Rethink Energy.
It’s about the global Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) business which, although small compared to photovoltaic or wind power, will be a $10 billion global industry by 2030. How so?
Previous CSP marquee projects such as the “tower power” plants of the Mojave Desert have proved to be expensive and R&D-hungry. Although impressive, they’ve tarnished the sector and in recent years investment has gone elsewhere.
It means that CSP has effectively lain moribund for a decade.
But in recent years a new wave of technology-driven CSP companies have brought a swathe of minor innovations, improvements on efficiency and cheaper equipment to the market.
CSP can now provide temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius, enabling the technology to play a role in the decarbonization of the cement, steelmaking, and mining industries. And in China there are plans to use CSP on the power grid as “peak-shaving” energy storage.
Does this mean that this 3rd generation of CSP activity will lead to profitable returns? What are the new technologies and who are the players? And what will be the impact of the global demand for hydrogen on CSP?
The answer to these questions and more can be found in Last Chance Saloon for Gen 3 CSP in this 30-page report, illustrated with graphs and accompanied by an Excel spreadsheet with projections.

The document discusses updates to solar incentive programs in California, including the California Solar Initiative and federal tax credits. It provides information on the benefits of solar energy, noting that electricity costs continue to rise while solar prices have improved and incentives remain strong. It also includes examples of how solar panels can help avoid higher utility rates tiers and an analysis of the savings and payback period of a typical 4.2 kW solar system.
Pv sales intro and session one
Here are some key points to consider when sizing a PV system to offset a certain percentage of annual electricity usage:
- Annual electricity usage is obtained from the customer's utility bills
- The target % offset is determined based on the customer's goals
- Operational effectiveness accounts for losses from things like panel degradation and inverter efficiency
- The sized system will produce enough energy to offset the target % of annual usage, on average over the year
- Larger systems provide greater offset but come at a higher upfront cost
]
So in summary, the % offset goal drives the initial system sizing calculation.
