ABOUT THE COURSE

This course caters to Engineers, Technicians, Facilities Managers, Energy Professionals, Architects and others who are interested in enhancing their understanding of solar renewable energy, and would like to learn about methods, best practices and strategies for selection of the most suitable solar renewable energy alternative, with technical, geographic and financial feasibility in mind. The course highlights the four-pillar approach or perspective on formulation of a business entity’s energy vision and how solar and non-solar renewable energy options fit within. Participants are primed by introduction to a few important fundamentals of energy, energy facts, and the “grid” to set the tone for better comparison of current source of energy with optimal renewable energy alternative, solar or non-solar. Importance of the concept of most direct application of solar or non-solar renewable source
to the final energy demand point is highlighted. After the introduction, this seminar dives into some of the more proven and mainstream solar renewable energy topics. Current footprint and specific applications of major solar renewable energy systems are examined. Key differences between solar heat and solar PV systems are highlighted. Since renewable energy storage is gaining increased importance – as companion investment to actual solar investments - various proven energy storage technologies are explored, including batteries, flywheels, and electrolysis systems. Hybrid, Off-Grid, solar and wind renewable energy systems are discussed. Utilization of solar light in day lighting applications is covered. Combined use of day lighting, energy conservation and PV in Zero Energy Buildings is explained, aided by real life examples. The use of solar heat in building heating and cooling processes is highlighted. Futuristic, space-based, solar PV array type solar energy harnessing
systems are presented and explained through illustration. Participants are apprised of major solar energy installations currently in operation and some that are work-in-process, in the US and abroad. The discussion on the topic of solar renewable energy is sustained by diagrams, schematics and pictures pertaining to major renewable energy systems. Board acceptance guarantee.

Learning Objectives - Upon successful completion of this course,
participants will be able to:

  • See the role of solar, and renewable energy in general, within the four-pillar energy vision that every energy manager should consider.
  • Perform technical/engineering and cost comparisons between energy obtained from the grid versus the energy harnessed from solar and non-solar renewable sources. Identify and quantify technical and financial benefits of solar renewable energy systems.
  • Specify and implement solar renewable energy systems that leverage direct application of solar renewable energy sources to the point of use, thus maximizing the efficiency and net benefit of renewable energy systems.
  • Examine and assess alternative solar renewable energy technologies on the basis of physics and engineering principles that correlate physical parameters, climactic conditions, and geographical locations to the power and energy output of solar renewable systems.
  • Evaluate technical/engineering strengths and weaknesses of major solar renewable energy technologies relative to other renewable technologies like wind, biomass, geothermal, and the grid.
  • Follow progress on some of the major, more recent, notable solar renewable projects in the world. Learn from the lessons learnt on these projects in the past to avoid pitfalls in the design/specification of solar and other renewable energy systems in the future.
  • Identify some of the more unbiased and reliable technical and commercial information sources in the energy arena; thus, staying abreast of progress and current data in the solar renewable energy realm, beyond this seminar.

Pretty good product
Style: Single Arm, Size: 13"-34"
Assembly of the actual stand is easy, mounting to a monitor is not because of industrial design fluff. Gotta make the side you DON'T see look "sleek" and "smooth" and "organic" and "integrated" because...reasons. While this is on the manufacturer(s) of the monitor itself, what semi-modern monitor uses 100x100 VESA anyway? The included long screws are too long. Even using the plastic spacers they'll bottom out with a 2mm gap; add washers and it's a lever arm and not solid or confidence-inspiring. I used a die grinder to remove the excess material closer to 75x75 and used the included short screws, perfect. So either include 25mm screws instead of the 30mm (but then the spacers would be too long), or just update the mount plate to 75x75 only, and throw 100x100 "compatibility" into the dustbin of history where absolutely no one will miss it. Arm does move/adjust smoothly and is holding a 34" widescreen where I left it 2 days ago, so it IS a great product once it's properly fitted.

I love it!!
Style: Dual Arms, Size: 17"-33"
I love this product. I do a lot of gaming and you tube watching. At the same time a lot. With this I keep my desktop clear so I can have my notebooks there and can still have both my monitors up and running. Another plus is if I decide to sit on the couch and play the console I can turn the screen a full 180 degrees so I can setup you tube and play games on the T.V. using the console. The product itself feels to be of decent quality. It is not all plastic. The clamp is nice and strong.

Gets the job done. Just barely.
Style: Dual Arms, Size: 17"-33"
It holds up my monitor, but just barely, and without any confidence or finesse. I had to move on from my previous arm mounts, the HUANUO. Those claimed to hold up to a 30 inch monitor and support 20 pounds. When I upgraded to a Samsung Odyssey Neo G8, it could no longer perform its duties. The gas shock was up to task, but the final adjustment piece that tilts it up or down was a hard down. Queue this piece of hardware! 22 pounds is more than 20, and 32 is more than 30. This time I'm not even technically out of spec. The clamping force seems more than adequate to hold this to my desk. I will, at this point, basically walk you through how I feel about this mount, based on the order of installation instructions. The way it goes together means that you will have to pull your desk out to maneuver the clamp in place before snugging it back up to the wall, a point in the HUANO's favor since it had a clever leveraging mechanism that lets you hang it with your desk still against the wall. The way cords route through the arms close to the base means that you have to route them before you put the swivel arm on the base. This is because it has a screw at the front and back to secure the cover, and the angle/height are such that you cannot fit a screwdriver into the bottom one after you mount it. While not impossible to do with it installed, it would involve a right-angle screwdriver. They provide one of those, but the screwdriver bit of it is on the long shaft, and you would need it on the short shaft to get to that screw. The way the swivel arms mount on the base is less than ideal as well. The arm slips onto a robust metal hub, and you tighten a screw that pushes against a plastic tab that makes it harder or easier to move. The location for this screw faces the wall. So you must turn the arm at an extreme angle to make it tighter or looser. Not a big deal, but noticeable. Top arms go on smoothly, cable routing is simple and easy. No complaints about this section. Mounting the monitor. The instructions are to mount the plate to the monitor, and then slide the plate onto the holder and secure it with the screw. I did this for neither of my monitors, although I tried it for my second. My big monitor went smoothly by mounting the bracket ahead of time and just forcing the arm down into position while my monitor rested on my desk. I tried this for my second bracket, but it was much harder to do with the monitor in a vertical orientation. So then I tried to do it the way the instructions wanted. I would have been able to do so, but my monitor has the mounting location set into the back of the monitor. This means that you can't mount it flush and then slide it on because you don't have clearance. So I tried to use the spacers. The spacers aren't spacious enough and the screws bottomed before snugging. While I'm not saying that solution wouldn't have technically worked, I instead reverted back to mounting the bracket first. This time I laid my monitor flat on the desk, reduced the tension in the shock greatly, and placed it into position that way. At the end when it's complete and setup? It works. It will hold the G8. But just barely. The G8 uses an adapter to go from the monitor mounting points to VESA 100. This adapter sticks out quite a bit from the monitor, which means the weight is further away from the mounting point. Getting the tilt adjustment to hold involved a bigger allen wrench and cranking it further than it seems like it was meant to go. It groaned, but it held. It wants to dip if you mess with it, so I crank it again. Will it one day totally fail on me and point my monitor at my desk? Maybe. But it works on day 1, so that's a start.
