If more companies follow Google’s lead, we can dramatically reduce our nation’s dependence on polluting power.” The SolarCity/Google fund will
One Probe... The NEW Huntron Access DH
Huntron is proud to introduce our fourth generation Robotic Prober - the Huntron Access DH. Te dual head Access DH Prober has an open architecture design that allows you to automate Huntron Tracker® ASA technology or other main line test instruments.
Huntron Access Prober DH is a fixtureless platform designed for economical, automated testing of CCAs. Te open architecture platform combined with two independent heads provides a flexible solution for accessing densely packed surface-mount components as well as through-hole devices on the most complex boards. Te probe head configuration is designed to be easily configured to your test requirements.
True Point-to-point Testing Huntron Access DH
Te Access DH can be used with traditional Huntron Tracker products or be configured to work with conventional test instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, LCR meter, etc.) and specialized test cards such as Boundary Scan. Te Access DH design allows for a plug and play approach to automating manual guided probe applications.
Applications - - Huntron Power-off ASA - RF Near Field Signature Analysis - Boundary Scan - Guided Probe Measurements
Adaptable by Design
Te ability to customize the Access DH probe head assemblies combined with software created using the Huntron Workstation SDK provides many integration and customization opportunities. Te probe head design includes pre-wired intercon- nections for adding built-in USB, Firewire or Ethernet instrumentation at the head.

extend solar lease (SolarLease®) and power purchase agreement (Solar - PPA™) options to customers who desire solar panels installed on their homes, but do not wish to make the larger upfront investment to purchase the systems. SolarCity serves Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas, and has more than 15,000 solar projects completed or underway. More than 12,000 of those customers have chosen SolarCity’s financing options, while 3,000 have purchased their systems. “Google has made a series of investments in renewable energy be -
Sanda Clara, CA — Santa Clara (Calif.) University’s School of Engin - eering will receive an anonymous gift of $1.3 million from an engineering alumnus and his wife from the San Francisco Bay Area to help create some of the country’s top students in the field of renewable energy. The objective is to develop highly-educated undergraduate students in photo- voltaics and renewable energy. “This is the first substantial
donation to our energy program fol- lowing our successes in the 2007 and 2009 Solar Decathlon competitions,” says Godfrey Mungal, Santa Clara University School of Engineering dean. The donation will help the school launch the Latimer Engin - eering Scholars Program in the 2011- 12 academic year to support teaching and research in sustainable energy. Electrical Engineering Professor and Latimer Engineering Scholars Program Director Tim Healy will begin working with incoming fresh- man engineering students. He will select five students and assign them laboratory projects, provide educa-
cause they make business sense and help deploy a range of solutions that can help move us toward a clean ener- gy future,” said Rick Needham, Director of Green Business Opera tions at Google. “Now, through this partner- ship with SolarCity, we’re excited to be making our first investment in distrib- uted residential solar, making it easi- er and more affordable for consumers across the country, including our own employees, to use renewable energy in their own homes.” Google has now invested more
than $680 million in a wide range of clean energy technologies. This marks its first investment in residen- tial solar. “As American consumers better understand the consequences of their energy choices, demand for affordable clean power is increasing,” said Benjamin Cook, vice president of project finance at SolarCity. “This col- laboration with Google will enable us to provide solar power to thousands of homeowners at or below the cost they currently pay for electricity.” More info: http://googlegreen-

Renewable Energy Education Gets Boost
tion on renewable energy, focusing initially on photovoltaics and then expanding to other areas as the pro- gram grows. Each student will also receive stipends for working in the lab and on the projects. “The objective is to develop
highly-educated undergraduate stu- dents in photovoltaics and renewable energy,” says Healy. “We hope to have among the best educated stu- dents in the country in this area.” Healy also envisions that the pro- gram will develop strong personal contacts with companies and create internship opportunities for the scholars during the summer. “After students spend a year or
two in the program, they will be able to pursue internships in places such as the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Labor - atory in Colorado, solar technology companies like SunPower Corpora tion in San Jose, Calif., and perhaps one of the light-emitting-diode companies in the Silicon Valley,” says Healy.
