PV, or not PV: using backcasting to explore policy, market and governance implications of local decarbonisation pathways such as urban PV

Description of the Bacterium Causing Blight of Leek as Pseudomonas syringae pv. porri (pv. nov.).

ABSTRACT Forty bacterial strains isolated from leek blight (Allium porrum) in France and other countries were studied by conventional biochemical methods, serological reactions, numerical taxonomy, DNA-DNA hybridization, and ice nucleation activity, as well as by pathogenicity on leek and other host plants. They were compared with reference strains of Pseudomonas, mainly pathotype strains of P....

The impact of PV tilt angle and azimuth on the market value of PV systems and electricity generation costs

Identifying Critical Pathways to High Performance PV: Preprint

The High-Performance Photovoltaic (HiPerf PV)Project was initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy to substantially increase the viability of photovoltaics (PV) for cost-competitive applications so that PV can contribute significantly to our energy supply and our environment in the 21st century. To accomplish this, the NCPV directs in-house and subcontracted research in high-performance polycr...

Shaking Up the Residential PV Market: Implications of Recent Changes to the ITC

On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) increased the Section 48 investment tax credit (ITC) for commercial photovoltaic (PV) systems from 10% to 30% of the project’s “tax credit basis” (i.e., the dollar amount to which the ITC applies), and also created in Section 25D of the Internal Revenue Code a new 30% ITC (capped at $2,000) for residential solar systems. Both changes...
