Currently I'm making my own solar panels. I'm making it all alone without the aid of my staff. I am using the net as the only path to acheive this. I ran across a very brilliant site which explains how to build photovoltaic panels and wind generators. The site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction. I'm not really sure about how correct the info given there is. If some people over here who have experience with these things can have a peak and give your feedback in the page it would be grand and I'd highly value it.

I look forward to using your obtained flow rates when we assign values for connector products on collaborative projects!

I am hoping to become involved in some conversations, and perhaps meet some potential customers. Thanks, Rusty.

If you look on the internet you should be able to find freezing curves of the EGW. Be careful if it is volume or weight. 30/70 sense like a good compromise if you don't need peak freezing performance. We have seen a glycol gel in stagnet points in a close loop system. It has not been problem for us for leaks. We do see it break down with time and form acid when exposed to UV. How about Propylene Glycol? Is anyone using it as a substitue for ethlyene glycol. We know EG has toxicity issues and the freezing point of the PG solution continues to drop as the concentration of PG to water increases. It is widely used in automotive and hydronic heating systems.

I'm not familiar with the process of producing cassava starch. DuPont Tate & Lyle produces the Bio-PDO by a fermentation process. I would bet it is proprietary. You'd have to contact them for more information. You'll need to contact Dynalene for pricing on the BioGlycol. Thanks!
