Upon pressure and incentives from the league, and saturation of the dire warnings about the consequences of too many teams based in Melbourne, a number of Melbourne based clubs began investigating and pursuing potential mergers. Some proposals raised in the local media included a possible amalgamation of Footscray and Fitzroy, as well as various combinations of Melbourne, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Footscray, Fitzroy, and North Melbourne. Melbou ...

Porter is a smart career criminal who is betrayed by his criminal partner, and Porter's wife, after they steal $140,000 from the Chinese mafia. They shoot Porter, and his partner takes the entirety of the heist money. The two leave Porter to die, but he survives without them knowing. After a long recovery he returns to get "payback," mainly revolving around the return of his share of the money stolen from the Chinese mafia. During Porter's recovery, his partner Val has joined a powerful criminal organization (using $130,000 of the hei ...

The end of the 1996 season saw Melbourne and Hawthorn play each other in the last round of that season. "The Merger Game" as it was called, was a spirited contest, as it was a likely possibility that it would be the last Hawthorn v Melbourne contest and, as the result that Melbourne could not make the finals and Hawthorn needed to win the game by any margin to have any chance to contest the 1996 finals series, many fans saw this gam ...

Since the mid 1980s, the formerly all-Victorian VFL competition had undertaken a large expansion program which saw the league expand from being a state-based competition (centred around the inner suburbs of Melbourne) to a national competition. The decision to undertake this expansion was in response to elite national leagues being run by other sporting codes (for example the ARL, the NBL, and the NSL), which threatened to undermine interest in football at both a junior, and elite level. The VFL / AFL expansion included new teams from Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Sydney introduced to the competition, and saw the l ...

Solar cell - Background. In order to understand how a solar cell works, a little background theory in semiconductor physics is required. For simplicity, the description here will be limited to describing the workings of single crystalline silicon solar cells. Silicon is a group 14 (formerly, group IV) atom. This means that each Si atom has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell. Silicon atoms can covalently bond to other silicon atoms to form a solid. There are two basic types of solid silicon, amorphous ( ...

There are currently many research groups active in the field of photovoltaics at universities and research institutions around the world. Much of the research is focused on making solar cells cheaper and/or more efficient, so that they can more effectively compete with other energy sources, including fossil energy. One way of doing this is to develop cheaper methods of obtaining silicon that is sufficiently pure. Silicon is a very common ...

Because solar cells are semiconductor devices, they share many of the same processing and manufacturing techniques as other semiconductor devices such as computer and memory chips. However, the stringent requirements for cleanliness and quality control of semiconductor fabrication are a little more relaxed for solar cells. Most large-scale commercial solar cell factories today make screen printed poly-crystalline silicon solar cells. Single crystalline wafers which are used in the semiconductor industry can be made in to excellent high efficiency solar cells, but they are generally considere ...

Based on manufacturer-reported power-output ratings (notoriously exaggerated), the mean US retail module price is $5.32/Wp with a 10th-percentile price of about $4.50/Wp (see SolarBuzz). Additional installation costs for a residential rooftop retrofit in California (CA) is around $3.50/Wp or more. So on the low side, installed system costs are about $7.00/Wp in CA, and probably higher in places with less experience. Federal, state, utility, and other subsidies combined can pay about half this cost depending on location. See link DSIRE (the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy) to deter ...

Solar cell - Etymology. The term "photovoltaic" comes from the Greek photos meaning light, and the name of the Italian physicist Volta, after whom the volt (and consequently voltage) are named. It means literally of light and electricity. Solar cell - History. Main article: Timeline of solar cells The photovoltaic effect was first recognised in 1839 by French physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel. However it was not until 1883 that the first solar cel ...
