Abstract: A utility meter adapter plugs between a utility meter and its meter socket to provide a power pigtail suitable for a solar electric system to backfeed power to the utility. A round plastic base has several connector jaw blades underneath positioned like a meter to fit in a meter socket and its jaw sockets. A corresponding set of jaw sockets is provided for the jaw blades on the meter to plug into the topside. The jaw sockets in the adapter on the load side of the meter are pigtailed to terminal lugs with a conduit access. A solar electric system backfeed can be run through conduit tubing to the terminal lugs on top of any flush walls, thus avoiding any disturbances to the pre-existing walls and service panels.

Abstract: A renewable energy monitoring system collects streams of informational reports from remote renewable energy systems. It separates the data streams by client, and client identification, in order to template such data streams onto models of clients' equipment configurations and topologies. The system sorts and groups client data by categories, so workstations can be employed to access statistics, monitor operational flags, initiate/display reports, and control system operations. Particular client/user information is accumulated and assembled on a per account basis to issue client statements, revenue checks, invoices, and controls, wherein, headquarters workstations can be used to access single-client statistics, monitor operational flags, initiate/display reports, and engage payables, receivables, and general ledger accounting operations. Selected information is posted to the Internet on a webpage for respective users, so each user can query how much electricity they are generating/using, and the net amount they are exporting. Various kinds of charts and graphics are rendered in HTML to make the data easy to navigate, absorb and understand.

Abstract translation: 可再生能源监测系统从远程可再生能源系统收集信息流报告。 它通过客户端和客户端标识来分离数据流，以便将这些数据流模拟到客户端设备配置和拓扑的模型上。 系统按类别分类和分组客户端数据，因此可以使用工作站来访问统计信息，监控操作标志，启动/显示报告和控制系统操作。 特定的客户/用户信息以每个帐户为基础进行累积和组装，以发布客户报表，收入核对，发票和控制，其中总部工作站可用于访问单一客户端统计信息，监控操作标志，启动/显示报告， 并支付应付账款，应收账款和总账会计业务。 所选择的信息在互联网上发布给各个用户的网页，所以每个用户可以查询他们生成/使用的电量以及它们正在导出的净额。 各种图形和图形在HTML中呈现，使数据易于浏览，吸收和理解。

Abstract: A sales method provides for the demonstration, performance forecasting, financing, leasing, renting, power purchase agreement, tax-advantages, and group benefits of complete renewable energy systems. Even before a sales call is attempted, a system integrator has arranged a special group of lenders and investors that will fund any project initiated, has engaged credit services to check consumer credit files, has collected operational data from a number of its own systems, has created forecast models of performance, and arranged open-membership groups to which a new user can join immediately to share in collective bargaining with utilities, spread down-time risk and expense, utilize tax incentives, etc.

Abstract: The bottle closure comprises a generally cylindrical inner member adapted to be threadedly engaged on the outside of the neck of a bottle. The inner member has a central passage communicating with the neck of the bottle. An outer member is rotatably mounted on and around the inner member. The inner member includes a valve seat defining a fluid passage between the bottle and the outer member and being located within the neck of the bottle. The outer member includes a valve closure element adapted to close the fluid passage in a first annular position of the outer member on the inner member thereby to form a seal with the valve seat. The outer member, when moved to a second annular position relative to the inner member, opens the fluid passage, thereby to allow fluid in a bottle to flow through the closure.

Abstract: A renewable energy certificate business model embodiment of the present invention accumulates small shares of qualifying energy produced by many small solar installations into the minimum unit sizes that can be certified, traded and sold. Renewable energy generation and load control monitors are installed at hundreds and thousands of small installations to automatically report to centralized servers. These servers log and certify the production of renewable energy into the lot sizes needed for an efficient market. A system integrator provides the brokerage mechanisms needed for buyers and sellers to trade quickly and easily. In one aspect, an online auction website is constructed and maintained on the Internet as a centralized clearing house. The system integrator backs the quality of the lots and the trades with their large enterprise reputation and credit worthiness. The trading can be in renewable energy portfolios, emission offsets, carbon dioxide offsets, and other environmental attributes.
