A solar panel array functioning at peak efficiency will save you an incredible amount of money. Solar panels are a stellar way to generate electricity at home, reducing or eliminating your energy bill and sometimes even making money back. While they require an upfront investment, they can easily pay for themselves over their 20- to 30-year lifespan. To reach that age, however, they need the right maintenance.

You can save thousands with solar panels — but you need to know this one crucial fact before buying

(Dürr: Southfield, MI) -- Paint shops must become “greener” to help vehicle manufacturers feel certain about meeting their ambitious climate targets. Assessing a technology’s sustainability is a complex task. In a comprehensive life cycle analysis, the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP) studied the carbon footprint of two different paint shop concepts. The result: Dürr’s paint shop with the EcoQPower system, which networks all energy flows to supply all process steps, reduces carbon emissions by 19.2% over its entire life cycle compared to paint shops without this system. This is mainly due to an energy consumption reduction of about 21% during the utilization phase, making it the first paint shop to comply with EU taxonomy requirements.
