9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Chanoch Pnini, Kibbutz member who helped initiate solar project:
“It feels very good that I can use renewable energy instead of burning fossil fuels and I think that’s the future. I think that’s what my son would like me to do, to wash him with water that was heated by the energy of the sun and I think that’s the right thing to do. Right?”
10. Close up on baby Tomer in the bath
11. Pan right from solar panels to tank where water heated by the sun is stored and then fed to kibbutz

19. SOUNDBITE: (English) Roy Segev, Zenith Solar CEO
“This solar field in my back would return the investment which the kibbutz has invested into it in approximately 5 years. More than this, this machine here, since it’s co-generating electricity and heat, would save approximately 40,000 litres of heating oil per year.”
20. Wide of water tank and solar panels

22. Close up on solar panels
23. Close up on spot where sun is reflected in solar panels
24. Wide of solar panels
25. SOUNDBITE: (English) Roy Segev, Zenith Solar
“The name of the game of solar generating systems in general is the ability to harvest as much as you can energy from the same, I would say, real estate area, so if the standard PV (photo-voltaic) panel would harvest approximately 10 per cent of the energy, the systems here are harvesting approximately 70 per cent of the energy, almost seven-times more efficient that a standard panel.”

30. SOUNDBITE: (English) Bob Whelan, Zenith Solar chief technical officer
“In the past, if you had photovoltaic cells on the roof of your house, you were generating electricity, but the heat that was essentially wasted that was absorbed by those cells and rejected, was going back to the atmosphere, you weren’t making use of them. If you had your hot water system, you were just taking heat into your hot water. This combines both concepts in one unit and it has great advantages, both in cost and efficiency.”

33. Wide of solar panel near kibbutz house
34. SOUNDBITE: (English) Chanoch Pnini, Kibbutz member who helped initiate solar project:
“What we’re expecting to make a year is about 300,000 New Israeli Shekels ($70,500 USD) from electricity and about 100,000 shekels ($24,000 USD) from not burning any fossil fuels to heat up the water. So that’s about 400,000 shekels ($94, 000 USD) a year.”

LEAD IN :
Solar power meets communal living in Israel this weekend as a unique solar power plant is switched on.
The manufacturers say their design will make solar technology more economically viable.
STORYLINE:
Chanoch Pnini always knew he wanted to create a green future for his newborn son Tomer.
