June 27--In the mid-1990s, before low-wattage light bulbs were in vogue,These are also used as art light as well, it is because crystal these lights did not emit any harmful rays and the bluish color of LED lights makes a painting look very different from others and makes them attractive for the viewers. the V.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces.I. Environmental Resource Station on St. John installed 30 energy-saving florescent bulbs it had bought through the V.I. Energy Office's rebate program.
The last of them burned out in the fall, but the partnership between the two organizations and their shared commitment to reducing the territory's dependence on fossil fuels remains.
Representatives from both groups recently met at the nonprofit to learn about its newest solar panel project, a 9.5-kilowatt photovoltaic system funded by a $50,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant through the V.I. Energy Office.
The education-focused eco-camp, owned by the University of the Virgin Islands and managed by Clean Islands International, sits in the heart of V.I. National Park land. Hundreds of schoolchildren, locals and tourists who visit or stay at the camp every year can see energy-saving technology in action, including solar hot-water heaters, which also were funded by the Energy Office in the 1990s, and a 1.8-kilowatt solar electric system installed in 2003.
The new and larger solar electric system,The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. manager Jamie Irving said, should reduce the station's energy bill by at least 30 percent, and the investment should pay for itself within five to seven years.
"We provide a really good example of what can be done on a small scale but still have a really large effect," Irving said.
The station already has a "solar classroom," which is an educational display that explains how the panels turn sunshine into electricity.The retrofit process itself can range from a simple count of existing lamps to a brightshine very detailed energy survey, which includes collecting information from your existing lighting, The newest system will improve the educational experience of the stations' visitors, as each panel's energy-production work is being tracked on a website,These were some reasons why people are keen to use these lights, hope that they will be used brightstal in a similar way in future as well. Irving said.
Energy Office Director Karl Knight said the solar panel project is one of 19 being funded at nonprofits across the territory through federal stimulus funds his office received. The project fits into Gov. John deJongh Jr.'s goal of reducing the territory's dependence on fossil fuels by 60 percent by the year 2025, , Knight said.
"The sun is abundant, the sun is plentiful," he said. "We might as well use it for something that's essential: power production."
