sunedison-israelWhen it rains it pours, when it shines it blazes: the US solar energy company SunEdison has moved into Israel where it is setting up a subsidiary SunEdison Israel Ltd.

With the guaranteed and attractive feed-in tariffs offered in Israel, the company will build solar energy projects and make investments in the industry, according to the financial newspaper Globes. 

In Israel SunEdison plans on building small and mid-sized photovoltaic installations (PV)  for homes and businesses giving companies  sectors and it is reported that it will participate in tenders for the construction of solar power plants in the Negev. 

The company is also in talks with Bank Hapoalim which is considering investing in the subsidiary.

    Jaakko Torvinen finds that the next green building revolution is misfit trees

    Crooked, forked and curved trees are often treated as second-class timber. They are considered less valuable, and not suitable for load bearing walls or support systems in building. If a tree trunk is not straight enough to become a saw log, it is frequently diverted into pulp production or burned for energy. Now, new research from Aalto University could help change that.
