Piedmont Biofuels in Pittsboro NC used Solar. Works fine. They are
friendly - you could call them.

Hi Pannirselvam;
I don't see any reason why the electricity needed for your BD
production cannot come from a P.V. source, but in order to make it
useful you will need significantly more P.V. capacity than needed for
one production run if you wish to have the flexibility to run it at any
time. This means battery storage and if your plastic P.V. arrays are
in the 3% efficiency range you will need a large array, but other than
this I do not see why it should not be attempted.

Hi Joe, Keith and ALL
The reuse of Plastics
(PET) after adequate thermal treatment has been showed to
be very good charge transport used successfully
together with conventional silicon PV system reducing
the cost and may possible to be home made ..
Thus significative cost reduction has been made by this system by
the research done in Brasil..We are starting our research
to work on this novel system to be used to heat the BioD
reactor to make simple heating bio oil fuel to be used in rural
areas .This oil will be to be used with novel biofuel
dried oil solid /stove designed with hih temperature combustion
with lower fuel consumption to be used in remote por
village as an alternate to ethanol solid gel fuel and wish
to have collaboration from our list members for colaborative research
and development as this is our Master cousre research study
for 2006 and 2008.Any novel ideas from experiencied are welcome as we
are very new to some systems and the system integration
We wish to share our master student Johnson experience with you
who has 4 year practical experience to make the reused
polymer PV system for small scale electrical PV system in Brasil
, who have demonstrated the device in natcional and
international fair and has owned the award for
the best product in national level
We have already made
good progress in the design work of these three system , yet need
collaboration to implement our system as this need low
investments and reuse of waste to get both electricity, liquid and
solid fuel as 50 percent of our state people live with out
electricity and have green future .
Can Keith can bring here about anyone work using solar PV
for BioD making any where? This can make our debate here
much more dynamic and alive . His words is always very
effective catalyst to move any topic good or bad to the
positive collaborative constructional path towards a good journey for
all our list members , bringing to us the latest innovative
biofuel related projects to make our work more practical , less failure
and lees work for all of us.
Thanking Keith in advance ,for his dedicated hard work to reply almost
all post and also for his reply to this post too..
As our list is the only list of heterogenius one , so we
can be the wining team fo the truely globalised biofuel and rural
sustained development and I wish the proposed system design
need not limited to our small group which is in the
less developed north east of Brazil , but as the best system
to address the fuel crisis in all rural area of our
globlazied one country of our planet.

Well
yes I guess you could say an increase in efficiency from 3 to 4.4 %
is almost a 50% increase. That IS dramatic but what is it ol' foghorn
leghorn used to say? .....two half nothin's is a whole nuthin. LOL
Still vacumm deposited aluminum for a cathode is cheap and lends itself
nicely to mass production as does indium tin oxide or zinc oxide which
forms the transparent conductor for the anode. The problem is in the
polymer with charge transport. Of course a breakthrough could be right
around the corner who knows? If we ever get above 10% efficiency with a
production process this cheap it will be a happy day!
