@KiaNeu6 Hi Anna - The original deal I had with Elsevier was they would make it free to read - they did 1 chapter at a time - now the book is now a bit dated - but ALL of my other work is pure open source - see Examples section https://t.co/nqMsT58lgA

In conversation with @CBCLondon, #WesternU PhD candidate Maryam Mottaghi shares the importance of recycling parts from solar panels. Although solar panels have a 20-year lifespan, Mottaghi explains there is still value within the components of retired cells.

A new study from #WesternU's Joshua Pearce (@ProfPearce) shows using sheep on solar farms is lucrative for farmers and offers a promising path forward to augment agriculture with solar technology. @WesternuEng @IveyBusiness 🐑☀️🌱

@tonyoramos1 @SEIA @isolaralliance @Offgrid_Style You could do that easily -- it would depend where you are -- but you should be careful to note that investment in solar would be all tax free - but the funds you need to strip of the tax when you compare to the returns.

Will it be your house or your neighbor that will be the last on the grid? - New #photovoltaic #battery study shows #offgrid systems are less expensive than utility #solarpower for much of the #USA @SEIA @isolaralliance @Offgrid_Style

[Tony Ramos @tonyoramos1]

@ProfPearce @SEIA @isolaralliance @Offgrid_Style Dr. Pearce, did you compare the cost of solar to the opportunity cost of not investing in diversified index funds in your study? It feels like the initial investment is quite high and financial decisions must incorporate opportunity costs to be rational
