Isbn: 9780262026048 - solar revolution: the economic transformation of the global energy industry (15 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. An innovative analysis that shows how the shift to solar energy--in particular, the use of photovoltaic cells--is both economically advantageous and inevitable, and will rival the information and communication technologies revolution in its transformative effects.In Solar Revolution, fund manager and former corporate buyout specialist Travis Bradford argues--on the basis of standard business and economic forecasting models--that over the next two decades solar energy will increasingly become the best and cheapest choice for most electricity and energy applications. Solar Revolution outlines the path by which the transition to solar technology and sustainable energy practices will occur.Developments in the photovoltaic (PV) industry over the last ten years have made direct electricity generation from PV cells a cost-effective and feasible energy solution, despite the common view that PV technology appeals only to a premium niche market. Bradford shows that PV electricity today has become the choice of hundreds of thousands of mainstream homeowners and businesses in many markets worldwide, including Japan, Germany, and the American Southwest. Solar energy will eventually be the cheapest source of energy in nearly all markets and locations because PV can bypass the aging and fragile electricity grid and deliver its power directly to the end user, fundamentally changing the underlying economics of energy. As the scale of PV production increases and costs continue to decline at historic rates, demand for PV electricity will outpace supply of systems for years to come. Ultimately, the shift from fossil fuels to solar energy will take place not because solar energy is better for the environment or energy security, or because of future government subsidies or as yet undeveloped technology. The solar revolution is already occurring through decisions made by self-interested energy users. The shift to solar energy is inevitable and will be as transformative as the last century's revolutions in information and communication technologies.…

Zustand: As New. : En 'Solar Revolution', Travis Bradford presenta un análisis innovador sobre la transición hacia la energía solar, especialmente el uso de células fotovoltaicas. Argumenta que esta transición no solo es económicamente ventajosa sino también inevitable, comparable en impacto a la revolución de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación. Bradford demuestra, basándose en modelos económicos estándar, que la energía solar se convertirá en la opción más económica para la mayoría de las aplicaciones energéticas en las próximas dos décadas. El libro detalla cómo la generación directa de electricidad a partir de células fotovoltaicas se ha convertido en una solución viable y rentable, desafiando la percepción de que la tecnología fotovoltaica solo atrae a un nicho de mercado premium. Bradford destaca que la energía solar eventualmente será la fuente de energía más barata en casi todos los mercados, ya que puede eludir la red eléctrica tradicional y entregar energía directamente al usuario final, transformando la economía de la energía.
