 St. Lawrence Energy has announced that it has entered into a joint solar energy technology development agreement with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Through the agreement, both St. Lawrence and NASA will jointly cooperate in developing the next generation, more efficient, solar energy technologies.

St. Lawrence has engaged 3Soft of South Korea in partnership for product adaptation and marketing to major markets in Asia. 3Soft's capability in manufacturing and implementation will allow St. Lawrence to leverage off 3Soft successes with its manufacturing sophistication.

3Soft is expected to continue with its participation in St. Lawrence's solar venture and to shorten time to market.

St. Lawrence intends in conjunction with NASA's research efforts, to take advantage of developing competitive solar technologies, and of the solar market growth of 48% annually through 2013, reaching 23 GW (GigaWatts), from 4.9 GW in 2008.

The solar market is expected to reach $100.4 billion in 2013, up from $33.4 billion in 2008.

Largest Installation Of Solar Meca Trackers In USA
 El Dorado Hills CA (SPX) Dec 03, 2008
 Premier Power has announced it has completed 51% of the massive "Meca Trackers" project being installed on the West County Wastewater District in Richmond, California. The project is expected to be operational by Jan 15th 2008. The Richmond water district installation is comprised of 90 of the nation's largest bi-directional solar tracking arrays. Each of the 90 solar arrays designed and engineered by Premier Power stands over three and a half stories tall (forty five feet tall by forty five feet wide) and each continuously tracks the sun for maximum efficiency. Each tracker and panel array sit on platforms made with over forty four thousand pounds of concrete specifically designed to distribute the weight for application in wetlands. Much of the Richmond water district land is highly corrosive and contaminated and can not be disturbed during installation. Premier's proprietary engineering solution allowed an above ground installation that does not disturb the property and turns unusable land into energy producing property.
