PV partnership in Arizona
Sep 1, 2009 — A partnership between graduate-level engineering students and a solar energy business is working on advancing the efficiency of photovoltaics. In New Mexico, Advent Solar Inc. of Albuquerque has found a home within SkySong, Arizona State University’s business incubator in Scottsdale. At SkySong, alongside ASU engineering students, the company’s own engineers are working on Advent Solar’s Ventura technology, which puts an emitter wrap-through back-contact cell into a monolithic module...
Solar infusion in the Netherlands
Sep 1, 2009 — Several solar projects have received hefty subsidies as part of the Joint Solar Programme (JSP), which aims to promote research into photovoltaic solar energy in the Netherlands. JSP is funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research...
Zero-net energy on the Washington Mall
Sep 1, 2009 — The 2009 Solar Decathlon will take place Oct. 9-18 on the National Mall in Washington, where 20 university teams from the US, Canada, Spain and Germany each will build a self-sufficient 800-sq-ft solar home. They compete in 10 contests proving that...
Hot Spots for Solar
Aug 1, 2009 — Germany, Germany, Germany. It seems as if all anyone talks about in terms of the hottest place for solar is Germany. But others are turning up the heat, creating hot spots in Asia and the US as well. According to the “Europe’s Solar Market: Is...
Quantum wells boost solar efficiency
Aug 1, 2009 — Another solar record has been set, and, once again, a unique design is involved. QuantaSol Ltd. of Surrey, UK, recently announced a record efficiency of 28.3 percent for a single-junction solar cell aimed at use in concentrating photovoltaic...
Scanning the clouds
Aug 1, 2009 — Computed tomography (CT) commonly is used to take x-ray images of the human body, but researchers recently employed the technique to scan clouds, creating three-dimensional maps from the data for use in climate change studies and weather...
The laser-solar connection
Aug 1, 2009 — Competition among solar cell manufacturers is rising to new levels as grid parity looms on the horizon. New players are setting up shop for the first time and are implementing state-of-the art production equipment for mass production of high-quality...
Battling outdoor light
Jul 1, 2009 — The battle against light pollution recently had a mathematical model added to its arsenal. Developed by Chris Baddiley, the scientific adviser to the British Astronomical Association’s Campaign for Dark Skies, the algorithm calculates how much...
Concentration boosts photovoltaics’ potential
Jul 1, 2009 — Solar farms with concentrating solar technologies have the potential to contribute greatly to the world’s growing energy needs. As efficiencies in photovoltaic (PV) cells increase and silicon availability decreases, attention is turning toward...
Lighting up lives
Jul 1, 2009 — Solar lanterns are doing more than just bringing light to the poor in India. They also have improved the standard of living for those who formerly relied on kerosene lamps, a recent study asserts. Govindasamy Agoramoorthy, a professor at Tajen...
Solar from space
Jul 1, 2009 — The sun shines 24/7 in outer space, so it is not surprising that solar power seekers worldwide are setting up shop out there – or at least taking steps in that direction. Solar power drawn from space-based satellites is not a new concept. It was...
Betting on solar
Jun 1, 2009 — One company that believes the solar industry is poised for explosive growth is Dow Corning Corp. of Bay County, Mich. The company has its hand in the solar materials supply chain – from polysilicon to encapsulants, to adhesives, to the coatings and...
Forecast: partial sun in China
Jun 1, 2009 — “The move toward renewable energy is the clean way to go for any country, but it’s especially needed in China.” On the one hand, China is a notorious polluter, with coal-burning plants spewing carbon into the atmosphere at astonishing rates. On...
From battlefield to lighting fixture
Jun 1, 2009 — Rather than diverting laser-guided weapons, a technology developed under a US Air Force contract is now blending and controlling multiple LEDs in civilian applications. The military effort originally focused on developing a countermeasure system...
How green is your widget?
Jun 1, 2009 — It takes far more energy to make microchips than to make manhole covers per kilogram of product, according to a recent study by a group from MIT in Cambridge. It seems that, the smaller the widget, the more energy it takes throughout the...
Not just for your nose
Jun 1, 2009 — What you put on your nose to protect you from the sun at the beach also can be beneficial for photodetectors, say researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago. Making photodetectors with crystalline silicon chips suffers from a range of...
Agents of change
May 1, 2009 — Solar panels produce DC power that must be converted to AC to feed into the electrical needs of a home or building, or back into the grid. In this traditional solar design, all panels are connected in series – just like Christmas lights – to a large...
Art meets solar
May 1, 2009 — It seems obvious, pairing stained glass with solar cells. It’s a wonder it hasn’t been done more. A 40-ft-tall tower on the campus of Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, stands as testament to the intriguing marriage of art, religion and...
Backing for solar ripens in Napa Valley
May 1, 2009 — One way developers are getting around the credit crunch is by financing their own projects. The practice makes sense, thanks in part to the federal government’s recent eight-year extension on solar energy tax credits and to state governments’...
Camera makers find a niche in the solar market
May 1, 2009 — Imperfections in solar cells often can’t be seen with the naked eye, but they can cause real problems when the cell is installed in a photovoltaic module. Inconsistencies or failures jeopardize manufacturer warranties and greatly limit energy...
Don’t give up on solar
May 1, 2009 — While the global economy may be taking a nosedive, it surely does not spell doomsday for the solar industry. Sure, solar stocks are down, as are installations, and financing has slowed to a trickle. But it’s all relative. All were booming a year...
Solar research marches on
May 1, 2009 — Lowering the cost and increasing the performance of solar cells is the solar industry’s holy grail. Even in these turbulent economic times, research and innovation continue toward this end. Kender Energy Inc. of Geneva is working on a method that...
A pocket sushi probe?
Apr 1, 2009 — Mercury is found in all sorts of things. From the fish we may eat to the fillings in our teeth, understanding just how much mercury is involved is important because of the potential health risks. To address this problem, a group at the University...
Another Olympic feat
Apr 1, 2009 — The smog in China was such an issue before the Beijing Olympics last year that Chinese government officials placed restrictions on emissions. To determine just how much clearer the air was afterward, NASA used remote sensing instrumentation to...
Clean, yes; green, maybe
Apr 1, 2009 — Solar energy is touted as a green and clean energy source, but that may be only in comparison to fossil fuels. Looking at the life cycle of solar energy, there are many areas in which it is not so green. Solar panels are made with potentially toxic,...
