Grass Clippings to Solar Panels — Biophotovotaics
It's chore day. You've raked the leaves, taken out the recycling, and emptied out the old junk in your garage. But wait — don't toss it all out! You have all the ingredients for your very own homemade solar system. If new advances in “biophotovoltaics”
System uses photosynthesis to produce efficient solar energy
Scientists have developed a system that taps into photosynthetic processes to produce efficient and inexpensive solar energy. Researchers from Tennessee University collaborated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and École Polytechnique
Rate increase blamed on sun power
Customers on Oahu, Hawaii island, Maui, Molokai and Lanai installed enough photovoltaic (solar) panels connected to HECO's grid to generate a maximum 30 megawatts of electricity, the same generating capacity as the new wind farm in Kahuku.
5 Things: Thermo-Solar Energy to be Considered at Medford High
Thermo Solar Energy to be Considered at Medford High: The city has received a $10000 state grant to look into whether thermo-solar energy - generated through solar panels - would be feasible at Medford High School, Alicia Hunt, the city's energy
Siemens appoints head of solar thermal
Siemens Energy is increasing its stake in the concentrating solar power (CSP) specialist Archimede Solar Energy Srl from 28% to 45%. Archimede Solar Energy Srl, a joint venture (JV) between Angelantoni Industrie Spa and Siemens Energy,
SolarReserve Concentrating Solar Power Project in Colorado
The solar energy project consists of two 100 MW 656-foot tall solar thermal power generating units based on concentrated solar power technology. Saguache County Commissioners are one step closer to approving or denying SolarReserve a 1041 permit after
Seeing solar power in a new light
Photovoltaic solar energy panels made from plant material could become a cheap, easy alternative to traditional solar cells. That's the vision of MIT researcher Andreas Mershin, whose work appears this week in the open-access journal Scientific Reports
CNOOC, Isofoton to Team up in PV Field
Isofoton, a solar energy company with a 100MW module plant in Ohio, will hold the remaining 49 percent. The Chinese company is going to invest a total of USD 300 million, and plans to build 150MW solar cell works and PV power generation facilities.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
From the rich being able to sell us solar energy for 43p a unit, when you and I can buy it for 7p a unit to endless wind farms, to "global taxation" via Kyoto or carbon trading, we are being had on a royal scale. Not one single politician has the balls
US Army Awards $61 million worth of Energy Contracts
The $16.8 million contract will generate more than 10 percent of the installation's electrical needs via solar energy by the end of this year, saving the Army 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, a total of $930000 saved a year.
GreenPacks (blog)
Mershin and team still need to increase the efficiency of their DIY solar panels by tenfold (up to 2% or so) for them to become useful, but this could happen in just a few years with help from other labs. Even though 2% isn't particularly efficient for
Sony, Panasonic Forecast Worsening Losses as Samsung Dominates
weaker demand for their TVs may not be able to regain ground lost to Samsung and Apple Inc. That's prompting Sony and Panasonic to focus on sectors including medical devices, solar panels and rechargeable batteries in an effort to revive earnings.
The Nichioh Maru: Nissan's Greenest Cargo Ship Saves More Than 1000 Tons of ...
The new cargo is called “Nichioh Maru” and uses solar panels to power its LED lighting system. Another improvement to it is a low-friction hull coating and a more efficient diesel engine (which I think makes most of the fuel savings).
