SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of first-of-their-kind transparent electricity-generating coatings for commercial windows on skyscrapers and tall towers, today announced that a process breakthrough has enabled the advanced development of invisible wires as thin as human hair for improved transmission of electricity from the surface of its power-generating glass. According to the company, its early, first generation, invisible wire microgrid was already the thinnest system ever developed for its SolarWindow™ technology.
Engineers at Oregon State University have identified a new approach for the storage of concentrated solar thermal energy, to reduce its cost and make it more practical for wider use.
Thunder Mountain Energy has finalized a $5.2 million sale of its portable solar powered energy units to Blackcomb Group of Nevada. Blackcomb Group has purchased several Thunder Mountain Energy T3000 power units for their ongoing mining operations in Nevada, Utah and Idaho.
Canadian Solar Inc. (the "Company", or "Canadian Solar"), one of the world's largest solar power companies, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Recurrent Energy, one of North America's largest solar project developers, closed on a debt facility with a club of banks and a tax equity investment commitment with U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation (USBCDC), securing financing for the 60 megawatt (MWac) Barren Ridge solar power project. Recurrent Energy will be the managing member and plans to own and operate the project, currently under construction in California.
The world's largest rooftop dual-axis solar power station is currently under construction on a food facility in Pingtung County of Taiwan. This is an 840-kW project which utilizes BIG SUN iPV solar trackers (dual-axis) to maximize energy output and be able to resist extreme weather conditions such as typhoons in Taiwan.
A Florida State University researcher has discovered an artificial material that mimics photosynthesis and potentially creates a sustainable energy source.
Hanwha Q CELLS USA today announced the signing of a 25-year power purchase agreement between Hanwha and Austin Energy, an electric utility serving more than 1 million residents in the Greater Austin area.
Owners of home photovoltaic systems will soon be able to make their households even more sustainable, because PV power is also suitable for charging personal electronic vehicles. A home energy management system created by Fraunhofer researchers incorporates electric vehicles into the household energy network and creates charging itineraries.
An innovative façade, able to turn solar energy into heat for residents’ use, will be installed next year in a building in Merida, Spain. The complex insulation system has passed all the tests and will prove its capabilities in real-life conditions
Using solar or wind power to produce carbon-based fuels, which are commonly called fossil fuels, might seem like a self-defeating approach to making a greener world. But when the starting material is carbon dioxide, which can be dragged out of the air, the approach is as green as it gets. The technology that makes it economically feasible isn't available yet, but a recently published paper presents nice step forward in the effort to not just sequester CO2, but turn it into a useful fuel that is part of a carbon-neutral future.
