I have little interest in photovoltaics, except to not see them in this group.
Perhaps you would like to create a.s.p., by posting the message below, with
your email address in the *** field. Then you might follow up by contacting
upstream sites to ask them to carry it...

The creation of the group alt.solar.photovoltaic was proposed in alt.config
on March 20, about two weeks ago. So far, the proposer has received only
a few positive responses to its creation by email, so it is being created
with this message.
alt.solar.photovoltaic is intended to be a newsgroup for discussions of
practical photovoltaic energy collection and use, ie making and using
electricity from the sun. This is often discussed in alt.energy.renewable,
and reading about it there tends to waste the time of people who are
interested in other forms of renewable energy, and photovoltaic people
who read that group may not wish to wade through the other discussions
that go on there. At this point, it seems useful to specialize...
alt.solar.photovoltaic is NOT intended to be a place to discuss solar
thermal energy collection and use, except as combined with photovoltaic
systems, politics, aesthetics, solar space mirrors, envelope houses,
Stirling engines, solar refrigerators or air conditioning, cool tubes,
heat pipes, wind energy, wood energy, water energy, methane generation,
sewage treatment, perpetual motion, Nikola Tesla, unseen forces,
electromagnetic pollution, capturing free energy from power lines or radio
stations, nuclear waste, decomposing dead bodies or 600 mpg cars.
