Honda Solar Panels Power Penguin Habitat

Honda Solar Panels Power Penguin Habitat As a founding sponsor of the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA, American Honda has providing Honda solar cell technology in order to help power the Aquarium's new June Keyes Penguin Habitat. "Some of our penguins were rescued, and by telling their story we hope people will help penguins in the wild by decreasing their carbon emissions, choosing sustainable seafood, reducing pollution, and protecting areas where these penguins breed and forage," said Dr Jerry R. It's a permanent exhibit that houses Magellanic penguins typically found near the southern tip of South America. The CIGS thin-film solar panels use a film compound of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS) that require less raw material, energy and related CO2 emissions to manufacture than conventional crystal silicon solar cells. Honda has thin film solar panels put in place in 22 of its facilities worldwide - including the company's motorsports engineering facility in Santa Clarita, CA, and a manufacturing plant in Indiana. The exhibit is the first public demonstration of Honda solar panels in the US. The new June Keyes Penguin Habitat was opened to the public on May 17, 2012. CIGS panels are substantially thinner than traditional solar panels and enable stable power generation even when in the shade.
