“…In addition, the Open Source Outdoors Testing Facility provides open access data on PV systems in northern environments [189] and could be replicated in other parts of the world. Any outdoor testing facility can reduce capital cost for monitoring using open-source systems for real time measurement of the sunlight incident angle [190], for UV-Vis-NIR radiation measurements [191] and radiation shields for environmental sensors [192]. Modules can be tested on site or in the lab with a solar simulator using an open-source IV curve tracer for solar [193].…”

Free and open-source hardware (FOSH) development has been shown to increase innovation and reduce economic costs. This article reviews the opportunity to use FOSH as a sanction to undercut imports and exports from a target criminal country. A formal methodology is presented for selecting strategic national investments in FOSH development to improve both national security and global safety. In this methodology, first the target country that is threatening national security or safety is identified. Next, the top imports from the target country as well as potentially other importing countries (allies) are quantified. Hardware is identified that could undercut imports/exports from the target country. Finally, methods to support the FOSH development are enumerated to support production in a commons-based peer production strategy. To demonstrate how this theoretical method works in practice, it is applied as a case study to a current criminal military aggressor nation, who is also a fossil-fuel exporter. The results show that there are numerous existing FOSH and opportunities to develop new FOSH for energy conservation and renewable energy to reduce fossil-fuel-energy demand. Widespread deployment would reduce the concomitant pollution, human health impacts, and environmental desecration as well as cut financing of military operations.
