(Img Source:mount system) Sealed bidding for support for large-scale solar farms in the UK will begin tomorrow, 29 January, with the government confirming it had made additional budget available for offshore wind and other “less established technologies”. The Contracts for Difference (CFDs) scheme is split into two categories for mature and less mature renewable energy technologies with solar PV forced to compete with onshore wind for a share of the pot. The day before bidding was set to begin, the UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) said it had added an extra ￡25 million (US$38 million) funding for less established technologies, which also includes wave, tidal stream and anaerobic digestion. The government claims that the move is in response to higher than anticipated demand for the CfD scheme. The available funding pot for less established technologies now stands at ￡260 million (US$395 million). The EU is encouraging its members to pursue competitive funding for renewable energy; when granting state aid approval to the CfD scheme it called it a “fine example of how to promote the decarbonisation of the economy with market-based support mechanisms”. The scheme has attracted interest from beyond Europe with Japan reportedly keen to follow the UK’s example. Bidders offer a price per unit of electricity for their projects. If the market price is below that rate during the contract’s 15-year term it is topped up. If the market rate is above that level, the beneficiary hands back the difference, essentially guaranteeing set revenue for the duration. Commenting on the funding boost, UK energy and climate change secretary Ed Davey said: “We are transforming the UK’s energy sector, dealing with a legacy of underinvestment to build a new generation of clean, secure power supplies that reduce our reliance on volatile foreign markets. “The high demand for contracts shows that we’re one of the top places for renewables investment, and the best place in the world for investing in offshore wind. “Renewable electricity generation and investment have both more than doubled since 2010. We attracted a record breaking ￡10 billion (US$15 billion) worth of investment in 2014 and by making projects compete for support, we’re ensuring consumers get the best possible deal as well as a secure and clean power sector.” The government says that the increased funding will still keep the scheme inside the levy control framework budget, which caps how much support renewable and energy efficiency programmes receive annually. Looking forward, the government has reiterated that it will not publish the budget for next year’s auction until the autumn, but has stood by its plans to add ￡50 million (US$76 million) more funding for established technologies. The move follows a previous ￡95 million (US$144 million) boost to the CfD budget in October 2015, with established technologies getting an extra ￡15 million (US$23 million) and less established receiving an ￡80 million boost (US$121 million). The government has been criticised for allocating around half the budget for the CfDs outside the main auction process with five offshore wind farms the chief beneficiaries. Support for solar over 5MW under the renewable obligation certificates (ROCs) scheme closes at the end of March, earlier than planned, leaving the CfD as the only subsidy option. Some of the energy firms behind offshore wind projects in the UK backed the governments early removal of RO support. see more at:roof mounting systems

(Photo by:types of solar panels) Fueled by record-setting growth in home solar installations, leading residential solar finance-and-installation companies such as SolarCity and SunPower and investment banks have been able to move briskly along and bring investors up the learning curve by introducing new financial products that lower the cost of capital to issuers while still offering attractive returns to investors. Among the newer renewable energy finance instruments are asset backed securities (ABS) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) backed by home solar loans and leases. In addition, electric utilities and renewable energy project development companies such as Abengoa, NextEra and SunEdison have been raising additional capital by spinning off and selling solar and renewable energy projects to in-house, publicly traded yield companies, or “yieldcos.” When it comes to the middle, commercial and industrial (C&I) tier of U.S. solar and renewable energy sector finance, developments haven't proceeded as quickly, and for a variety of reasons. A structured portfolio of local Ontartio Power Authority (OPA) feed-in tariff (FIT) distributed PV projects put together by U.S.-based Nautilus Solar Energy's Canadian subsidiary may signal a turning point is at hand. A Full-service Approach In addition to offering the means for Ontario residents and First Nations communities to invest in local, distributed PV projects, Nautilus's “full-service” approach to solar PV project development encompasses portfolio structuring, finance and physical, as well as financial, asset management. The company, co-founder and CEO Jim Rice told REW, sees through all facets of C&I solar PV portfolio assets over their entire life cycle – financial structuring, management and administration as well as project design, engineering, procurement, construction, insurance, operations and maintenance. Representing one of the largest distributed solar power generation portfolios to be financed in Canada, Nautilus on January 8 announced that Rabobank has approved a C$39 million non-recourse construction and term loan facility that will enable Nautilus and partner Moose Power to proceed with the construction of a portfolio of distributed solar PV installations at commercial and industrial sites — warehouse and storage facility rooftops — in Ontario. Nautilus's co-founders and management are bringing the combined knowledge and experience they have acquired helping bring large, conventional energy industry projects to bear on the middle, C&I tier of the distributed clean energy generation segment of the North American market. In doing so, they are helping standardize the process and lower the perceived risks and cost of capital associated with creating portfolios of diverse, solar power generation assets. In speaking with REW, Rice highlighted the importance of what he and co-founder Laura E. Stern term the “efficiency of capital,” as well as the cost of capital in creating and providing both financial and physical asset management of diverse portfolios of local, distributed PV assets throughout their life cycles. The Efficiency of Capital When Rice and Stern talk about the efficiency of capital, they refer to both the cost and timing of cash flows on both sides of the ledger. There are about 24 projects in development as part of Nautilus's latest portfolio of distributed solar PV generation assets, for instance. “We're preparing to build them, and we don't want anything, cash flows or otherwise, to get in the way of their timely completion,” Rice elaborated. Nautilus has developed what amounts to a set of project finance and asset management templates that help guide and assure that project cash flows and construction stepping stones, as well as ongoing operations and maintenance, are undertaken and completed on-time and within budgetary constraints. A template for the debt financing Rabobank is providing, for example, enables Nautilus to draw-down capital quickly as project construction proceeds. “Then, when you finish construction, we have very well-defined processes to help ensure there are no hiccups when it comes to flip the switch and bring these distributed PV generation assets online,” Rice continued. Similarly, Nautilus has instituted well-defined processes that manage the administrative details associated with debt and equity instruments and stakeholders. At the end of the day, Nautilus's full-service approach to distributed C&I PV portfolio and asset management enables the company to bring renewable energy assets online more quickly and efficiently than is typically the case. According to Rice, “This enables us to aggregate multiple distributed PV generation assets faster, keep costs down and minimize delays. That's very important, not only from our perspective, but from that of Rabobank, our equity investors, our construction and operations and maintenance partners and the OPA.” The Social and Environmental Aspects and Benefits A focus on spurring deployment of distributed PV generation capacity and participation by Ontario residents, community groups and local businesses — as opposed to utility-scale projects owned in the main by large investment companies outside the province — distinguishes the OPA FiT program from most other solar energy incentive programs in North America. Besides Rabobank's debt financing, Ontario community and First Nations investment groups are equity investors in Nautilus' portolio of distributed PV generation assets, which collectively is expected to deliver between 8-9 MWs of clean, renewable solar power to OPA customers across the province. The Eagle Lake First Nation North Sky CleanTech Alliance Fund L.P. and NewWorld Environmental Infrastructure L.P. are equity investors in the Ontario FiT C&I portfolio. So is Green Energy Co-operative, an investment co-op that specializes in enabling Ontario residents to invest directly in distributed solar and renewable energy projects throughout the province. “Ontario’s feed-in tariff program has been a strong stimulus to solar that is serving as a model for other governmental entities throughout North America,” Everett Smith, managing partner of GoldenSet Capital Partners, which manages the NewWorld Environmental Infrastructure L.P. fund, was quoted in the news release. “We are delighted to be working with Nautilus on behalf of our equity investors to bring solar to Ontario, and especially to be working with community and aboriginal partners. Our partnership with Nautilus was a clear choice: few solar developers have the knowledge and expertise to execute such a complex financing structure.” Community Residents and First Nations Invest in Ontario C&I Solar Portfolio Integral to the core egalitarian, social and community development facet of Ontario's FiT, OPA grants extra points to solar FiT project developers whose projects include community and First Nations investors. The prospect of getting a leg-up in winning 20-year Ontario FiT power purchase agreements (PPAs) means project developers such as Nautilus Solar are always on the look-out for community and First Nations investors and development partners, GECO's Kevin Epp, the only member of the renewable energy investment co-op's eight-person board to be employed by community solar power project developer Spark Solar. As Epp explained: “Our primary goal is to acquire good investments and returns for our members.” Open only to Ontario residents, GECO members pay a $10 membership fee to join the renewable energy investment co-op. They can then choose to invest in solar and renewable energy projects GECO acquires an interest in, or not, and invest as little as C$400 or as much as they want. “I'd characterize our co-op as an investment vehicle that we use to do some environmental and social good. We're stewards of people money first; the environmental and social good happens to be the space in which we work,” Epp said in an interview. With its equity investment in Nautilus's distributed C&I PV portfolio, GECO members, as well as the other equity and debt investors, stand to earn attractive, low-risk returns for many years to come. In the process, the environment, as well as residents, businesses and government throughout Ontario stand to benefit as a result. see more at:polycrystalline solar panels

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)* is about to launch an awesome new tool called REsource. While we here at CleanTechnica do what we can to be the world’s leading source of cleantech information, we are always happy to see others to do a great job in this space. IRENA has long been one of the top places I go for renewable energy information, but its resources have gotten better and better in the past couple of years. REsource takes that to another level. As you can see from the sneak-peak screenshot below, it is akin to a Google of renewable energy. (Img Source:three phase inverter) “The rapid growth of the renewable energy industry outpaces the information available to monitor and analyse the sector,” IRENA writes. “To date, renewable energy information has been scattered, and is perceived as less accessible, less detailed and less accurate than the information on conventional energy. This lack of information has created a falsely uncertain environment for investors and fuelled misperceptions in public opinion.” Indeed, if you go looking for some renewable energy fact, there are dozens of organizations where you have to consider searching for it. Sadly, Google often isn’t that helpful, and sources you come across via Google may seem dodgy. Perhaps you get to other knowledgeable website, but be careful — data may be years out of date, and forecasts are so abominable, you’d be better off asking your talking parrot for her or his prediction. Like I said, we here at CleanTechnica have been working on slowly accumulating and creating useful resources for solar energy information , wind energy information , and electric vehicle information , but we are very limited in what we can achieve, and everyone know’s CleanTechnica‘s key strength and focus — being the top website in the world for cleantech news and commentary. It’s a relief off my shoulders to see IRENA’s continual progress as a resource for renewable energy facts and reports, and REsource is clearly the capstone at this point. see more at:3000w inverter

Technologies has enhanced towards the point exactly where solar cells can even create electrical energy on cloudy days. The intensity of UV light on lately is enough for most photovoltaic panels to operate. This was not probable just before. Converting solar power into electrical energy is as straightforward as installing PV panels in your roof or backyard. You may pick to depend entirely on renewable energy, or use it to supplement the electrical energy supply out of your local power company. A different solution to use solar energy is to have solar water heaters to warm up your house or water. These frequently accompany photovoltaic panels. They accumulate heat in their panels and avert them from escaping in to the surrounding. Heat is forced to flow into the water, heating them up. This simple and reasonably priced device can save you many funds on heating bills. Positive aspects Of Installing Solar Power Panels There are numerous advantages to installing a solar energy panel on your roof. Depending on exactly where you reside, in case you have adequate sun exposure, a complete solar dwelling design could perform out really effectively for you. Very typically your local energy station will acquire back the excess power that your photovoltaic panels create. As the energy meter runs forward you are charged for every kilowatt of energy applied. But when your energy runs backward, funds flows into your bank account. What does all these seriously imply to you? The a lot more energy you'll be able to tap in the sun, the much more revenue you might save. In the event you can only save $200 per month, you are going to accumulate a whooping $24,000 in ten years. Realistically, if you take inflation and interest into consideration, the actual amount is bigger. More than just dollars and cents, solar power panels will help us save our atmosphere. International warming and pollution issues are already causing harm for the earth on a worldwide scale. Burning fossil fuel contributes towards the acceleration of this destruction. Unless we turn to renewable power, the atmosphere will go toward decadence. The effect will be drastic and our youngsters will have to face the consequences of our irresponsibility. So, you will discover economical and environmental advantages to installing a solar power panel at residence. Considering the fact that solar panels can last for decades, we'll possibly not be the only ones who will appreciate the added benefits.

Alternative natural power solutions, including solar electrical energy are rapidly taking the stage. (Img Source:string inverters) In recent years much more persons have been picking out all-natural sources of power for many reasons; 1. Solar electric panels are environment friendly. 2. Solar energy produces incredibly small pollution. 3. Solar power does absolutely nothing to contribute for the greenhouse effect. 4. Solar energy electricity production causes no noise pollution. How is Solar Electricity produced? The energy is generated by converting photon energy, sunlight, into electrical power applying semiconductors called photovoltaic (PV) power. The man elements of a typical household solar energy systems are: 1) Solar Array 2) Charging Controller 3) Batteries 4) Solar power inverter Solar Panel Array: Solar cell arrays are a group of solar panels connected collectively. The solar electric panel array must be placed where it could get as a lot direct sunlight as you can. The array is sometime placed in an open area on a stand produced for the panels near the house or developing that it's going to supply energy to. Probably the most well-liked place to attach the solar panel array is on the roof with the residence or creating. Charging Controller: The charging controller is employed largely for solar photovoltaic power systems that neither are nor tied to the local energy grid, while it may be applied for grid tied systems. The charging controller regulates the quantity of charge to the system's batteries. This device which sits between the solar panel array and the battery banks keeps the batteries from overcharging or obtaining as well little charge. Batteries: They are 12 volt batteries made use of to shop the electrical energy developed by the solar panels. The electricity created by the solar panel array and stored within the batteries is Direct Current (DC) electrical energy. Solar energy micro inverters: Inside the USA most property appliances operate on 110/220 volt Alternating Present (AC) electricity. The electrical energy developed by the solar panel array and stored within the batteries is needs to be changed from12 volt DC energy into 110/220 volt AC present.

(Img Source:240V Solar Inverter) Grid-Direct, Off Grid and Hybrid Solar Electric Systems You will discover three forms of solar electric systems: grid-direct, off-grid, and hybrid. Each system has its own distinct characteristics that set it apart from the other individuals, and every single has its pros and cons. Probably the most frequent installation of new solar electric systems belongs for the grid-direct category. The grid-direct method is definitely the simplest and most economical in the solar electric technique installations. That may be partly because it connected to a principal power grid. And no matter if it truly is a new installation or maybe a retrofit technique, it may redirect considerably or all the excess electrical energy that your PV panels produce. How a grid-direct program functions The installed PV panels function to generate DC electricity, which is converted to AC current through a home-installed inverter. There are various sizes of inverter in the marketplace to select from, and they come in various watt sizes. You could pick to set up a single major inverter or have numerous units of inverters to get a massive PV array installation. Alternatively, you may select a micro-inverter that comes within the exact same size as a single PV module electrical energy generator, or you can string with each other a number of micro-inverters in an AC branch circuit, which enables for the addition of PV modules into your current array at any time. A single benefit of using micro-inverters is their capacity to continue to create electrical energy even when one or two pieces are shaded and prevented from creating electricity. This can be the purpose why central inverters tend to carry out more poorly -- their electric modules are strung up in series. When a single module is shaded, it can not produce energy. Its non-performance hinders the performance of other modules. When the generated DC current is inverted to AC, it's sent towards the home-based AC service panel that has breakers. This "control center" then pushes out the electricity to numerous parts in the house for different applications. Excess electricity is going to be passed towards the utility meter, spinning it back prior to sending out the excess for the electric grid. But in the event the PV array doesn't generate sufficient electrical energy to meet the home's demands, energy will likely be extracted in the key electric grid, which flows in to the meter for costing purposes. This net metering causes the meter to spin back and forth which may wind up using a zero payment for you in the finish on the day (not actually). For this reason, net metering measures only net production and consumption activities though a variety of utility regulations and state laws that apply to the actual computation to produce the net figure. In place of 1 meter that spins backward and forward based on power all through, a homeowner can set up two meters: one for electrical energy production, and one other for electrical energy consumption. This isn't felt to be a substantial element within a solar system installation. The primary challenge having a grid-direct program is its inability to generate electricity when the PV program micro inverter shuts down on account of a blackout or lack of sunlight. Utility regulations are set up to stop anti-islanding when making use of grid-direct solar program. Regular maintenance should maintain the solar program in excellent functioning condition.

(Photo by:grid tied solar kit) As soon as you could have ascertained what size solar panel system you'd like, the subsequent step will be to judge what sort of solar panels will meet your wants. This should not be a selection primarily based solely on price, due to the fact power efficiency, longevity, warranty, and space required are all significant things. Also typically consumers base there buying decisions on value only and wonder why no-one picks up the telephone in the "fly by night company" you bought your solar panles from when in 2 years your inverter dies or your output is reduce in half. But its also inporttant to recognise that you'll find distinct qualities of panels available on the market and also you really should evaluate "apples with apples". So while you'll find 3 primary kinds of panels; Monocrystalline,Polycrystalline, and thin-film or Amorphous and its importtant to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of each. If your major hurdle for purchasing panels is price, then I recommend you evaluate "like with like" so its silly to evaluate the value of Mono with all the most recent Amorphous panel and make your buying selection from cost alone. Certainly one of essentially the most critical distinctions to create concerning Solar panels would be the distinctive Wattages readily available. Watts are associated for the output of each panel, so a 200W panel would output 200 watts per hour. Anticipate to spend double the price of a 100W panel. Warranties Solar PV panels come with a functionality warranty that might last up to 25 years and also a guarantee of five to ten years. Too, installers can produce a warranty on workmanship, generally 5 years. So ask your solar retailer who is offering the warranty-the importer or the manufacturer-and what takes place if anything breaks. My Solar Price only offers with solar energy suppliers that provide these warranties as typical, infact we actively seek out firms who supply improved warranties. If a low-priced solar panel importer stops trading in future, their warranty obligation ceases. You'd possibly feel more at ease using a well-known brand which has service agents for warranty work in Australia. One can find 3 key kinds of solar panel obtainable, every with their own rewards. Monocrystalline cells Monocrystalline panels are verified and trusted technology, implemented over the previous 50 years and nevertheless preferred these days. They've the top conversion efficiency, at 12-18% of all sunlight. Mainly because these have the highest power to size ratio, they are the most effective choice if you've got limited roof space. In addition they degrade extremely slowly, typically losing 0.25 - 0.5% per year. Their lifespan can be 25 years, even as much as 50 years if looked following. Disadvantages: Monocrystalline cells don't execute too as other panels in shady circumstances and they're really fragile. They're much more high-priced to manufacture resulting from their complexity. Polycrystalline cells Polycrystalline compares well in functionality and longevity to monocrystalline, and present efficiency of 12-13%. Well-known brands contain BP SX, Sharp and Kyocera. Both crystalline panels have wonderful longevity (about 25 years). Both perform optimally at 25oC and will shed some efficiency at higher temperatures (more than 50oC) - popular in our summer. Amorphous Thin Film Thin film panels usually have a a lot decrease efficiency at 6%, even so, Cadmium Telluride Thin-Film panels (CdTe) have progressed to 11% efficiency. They are more suitable for inland Australia situations where space is no challenge and temperatures are hot. Amorphous panels usually do not lose energy in greater heats. Disadvantages are: expected lifespan is less, there's a 3-6 month breaking in period, and they typically require 2-3 occasions the roof space for the exact same output of crystalline cells. When selecting, keep in mind to focus on the goal of recouping your initial costs via savings in electrical energy. The much more effective and greater Watt panels will do that more quickly. Even so, in the event you are seeking at solar farms in Outback Australia exactly where tempretures routinely get above 40 degrees celcius and there's a little of cloud cover as these panels operate substantially far better inside the shade also then these panels may be for you. The Needs of Solar Panels With all kinds of solar panels, the owner should make sure they're kept no cost from dirt and shade, since these things impinge on solar energy output. Panels are installed facing north and at a roof angle of a minimum ten degrees. Do the solar panels you have budgeted for physically match inside the space you need to set up them? Each and every solar panel is about 1.six m lengthy by 0.8 m wide. A 1.5kW solar panel system demands about 12 m2 of north-facing roof space. As described, this footprint varies according to the type of panel. Don't worry for those who cannot perform out the quantity of unshaded space the roof has for the panels, given that your installer will calculate it precisely when quoting. You might prefer to be conservative using the space, even so, in case you need to add extra panels later to cover more of one's power requires. Related Tags:inverters,solar panel,solar off grid kit

(Img Source:solar panel polycrystalline) The East African region is leading the continent’s charge to embrace renewable energy, including solar, geothermal and wind power. Kenya, Ethiopia and Rwanda are investing heavily in these forms of clean energy and moving away traditional hydropower sources as demand for power continues to surge and economies grow. Countries lying on the Great Rift Valley, known for its huge geothermal power potential, are investing heavily in resource prospecting, with Kenya leading in both exploration and development. East Africa is also geographically located in the tropics, which equates to big solar potential. “Countries in the east African region have realized the benefits of embracing renewable energy and many have drafted and put in place policy documents to guide exploitation of clean energy,” said Pavel Oimeke, director of renewable energy at Kenya’s Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). “Many countries have also developed legislation that could see a major take-off of the sub-sector. And with funds being available, this region should see huge investments in exploitation of natural resources for power production.” The tiny country of Rwanda is leading in solar energy, with an 8.5-MW solar farm that was commissioned in 2014. The $24 million farm in Agahozo has 2,800 solar panels. Though this may seem small compared to American or European standards, it accounts for 7 percent of the country’s installed power capacity. Ethiopia leads in wind power with its 120-MW Ashegoda wind farm located in the north of the country, which was built in 2013. Ethiopia is already producing another 51 MW from wind generated from two different sites in the south of the capital Addis Ababa. In Kenya, private investor Greenmillenia Energy Limited is developing a 40-MW solar plant in the north of the country that is expected to start feeding electricity to the national by grid mid-2015. Greenmillenia has applied for a generation license from the Kenya’s energy regulator ERC. According to the World Bank, Kenya has nearly 1,000 MW of wind capacity potential, but currently only a meager 6 MW is installed on the outskirts of the capital, Nairobi. However, the country is developing what will become Africa’s largest wind farm, the 300-MW Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, which is expected to be completed in 2019. The $686 million project is financed through a consortium led by the African Development Bank (AfDB). Kenya leads the geothermal power sector with 350 MW of capacity, and according to the ERC, Kenya has more than 10,000 MW of geothermal resource potential. Extensive resource survey work is currently taking place to the west of Nairobi. East Africa is also investing heavily in microgrid technology in order to provide energy access to the more than 75 percent of the population that currently lives without electricity, according to international development agency Practical Action. A major part of this microgrid solution is in the use of solar energy including off-grid solar photovoltaics (PVC), according to Denise Umubyeyi, finance and business development manager at Practical Action East Africa. “Investment in micro and mini grids plus use of solar PVC could greatly increase both penetration and access to power for millions of people,” said Umubyeyi, “and this is where governments, private sector and development partners should direct their energies.” more info:mono solar panel

(Photo by:buy inverter) People routinely decide to buy solar panels for home because they're environmentally friendly. There are certain basic standards to be considered before buying a solar energy panel. The most significant consideration is the energy level needed to be generated by the solar panel. We will calculate the energy usage from the monthly electricity bills. From the electricity bill we can find out the amount of energy consumed a month. From this monthly power usage info, we will calculate the daily power usage by dividing the monthly consumption by the total number of days of that month. This info will give your daily power usage. Suspect if this panel is exposed to sun's rays for six hours, then the panel can generate energy for six hours and this energy have to be used to meet our daily electricity wants. Hence, by dividing the daily electricity requirement by 6 and by multiplying the resulting price with 1.15, the value of wattage for the solar cell can be obtained. The following major point of consideration is to test the capacity of the roof. This is done so as to determine if the roof will sustain the daily load. Based totally on the roof capacity, we can get the solar energy panels installed to your home. There are certain preparations to be carried out in the house before calling upon the technicians to install the solar energy panel. First among these is, picking the area where the panel should be fixed. This area should be in such a manner that it becomes maximum exposure to sunlight. The place where the panel is going to be installed should be free from hurdles like trees, cables etc . Though the technicians take care of the installation of the panel, it is our duty to check that the panels are installed completely. After installation, certain upkeep will be required by the panels and it has to be taken care of. The panel must be frequently cleaned with soapy water. It is preferable to scrub the panel once or more in a week. This could take away the dust, mud and other impurities in the panel. The lifetime of a solar panel is 30 years. Though the panel wishes regular upkeep, the advantages associated with it outweigh the upkeep costs and makes a solar energy panels cheap. These panels derive solar power from the sun and batteries are present in the panel to store the energy. Therefore they provide constant power supply with no interruption. Another crucial virtue of solar inverter for home is that they do not harm the environment with carbon emissions. By correct installation and maintenance of these panels, we can forestall further environment degradation.
