這種wireless or contactless charge是否有機會成為一種太陽能的應用呢? 逛街逛到一半手機沒電 找個公共充電站 喝杯咖啡順便充電 晚上...日落而息 :P

太陽能應用商品 越來越多樣化. 這組support iPhone的藍芽喇叭 要價99.99 美金. 充電時間一天~12hours depends on 日照量. 除了PV System目前好像還沒看到甚麼太陽能周邊有爆炸性的成功. 不曉得這個未出現的Killer application會是以甚麼樣式問世?

底下這段雖然大多人都有共識 還是再貼一下:
The value of the solar supply chain is moving inexorably downstream towards project development, installation, balance of system and maintenance.

美國加州(CEC)的一份合格PV Inverter推薦名單, 最近有人打破紀錄了, 得獎的是:SolarEdge Technologies一系列240v產品, 轉換效率達97.5%.
大概翻了一下, 目前名單內的range是90~97%, 不過既然是推薦名單, 他的考量當然還有reliability.
不知道有無台灣代工的產品在名單上...
