renewable energy sources at its various sites. For example, its Fiesso workshop in Italy is now heated and cooled using geothermy and its hot water is produced by solar panels. The Barbera workshop is also equipped with photovoltaic panels. The Cergy warehouse installed 2,000 m2 of photovoltaic membranes which cut its electricity bill in half. PASSIONATE ABOUT CREATIVITY Hublot’s new Swiss manufacturing site installed thermal solar panels to heat the hot water for its bathrooms and implemented a large

information: Renewable energy in Morocco The shift to an environment-conscious approach in Morocco has brought about scores of investment opportunities, most being in the utility and renewable energy industries. In addition to the rise in sales of photovoltaic panels, the business of wind turbines is also surging despite soaring prices on international markets because of the growing demand. To work towards a programme of sustainable development, a number of technological updates need to be made, including

on the benefits of solar energy and showing a picture of solar cells arrayed on the roof of a house. An architect in the audience said, "But it's so ugly. Who would want that on their house?" That remark got Guha thinking about how to make the photovoltaics look more like the roof, instead of mounting the solar cells on frames that jut skyward. Two years later, Guha's innovation came off the assembly line -- solar shingles that can be nailed directly onto the roof. The shingles are made from stainless

dramatic improvements in performance ratios. Entrepreneurs should be aware of intensive technical work being done in areas relevant to their interests. A good example in the environmental field is the increasing efficiency and falling cost of photovoltaic cells. Once they were only cost-effective in satellites and solar calculators, but now PV cells are competitive in many remote power situations, and may one day be competitive with grid power. 4.
