Excerpts:
The price of solar panels has been sinking like a stone for the past few years, and that could be just the beginning of a low cost solar power future. When that happens, it will be partly due to the development of solar cells made of organic materials, which are less efficient but far cheaper than the current gold standard, the metalloid silicon. With that in mind let’s take a look at the latest news … Read More

Guest Post by Brookhaven National Laboratory. From the high-resolution glow of flat screen televisions to light bulbs that last for years, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) continue to transform technology. The celebrated efficiency and versatility of LEDs—and other solid-state technologies including laser diodes and solar photovoltaics—make them increasingly popular. Their full potential, however, remains untapped, in part because the semiconductor alloys that make these devices work continue to puzzle scientists. A contentious controversy surrounds the high intensity … Read More

Reposted from EV Obsession by Zachary Shahan. FOX NEWS ("news," I should write) is so lame I'm not sure if it's sad or funny. It bashed the heck out of Tesla for years due to the fact that the company won a $450 million government loan. It equated it to the tiny percentage of loan-receiving companies that have failed and repeatedly called it a failure (despite Tesla's numerous groundbreaking successes). Tesla has just paid back … Read More

Reposted from Solar Love by Nathan 33 MW of new solar energy capacity were installed in the United States during the month of April. This total includes 17 MW from the first phase of the Yuma Foothills Solar Power Plant, 5 MW from the Celina Solar project I in Ohio, and 4.2 MW from two projects in California, among others. The US now possesses an impressive 5.14 GW of total solar energy capacity. The 17 … Read More

Reposted from Solar Love by Nathan A new 30 MW solar photovoltaic power plant is currently being constructed in Mexico — in La Paz, Baja California Sur. Once completed, the plant will be Latin America's largest photovoltaic solar power plant, providing enough electricity to power an estimated 160,000 households. The plant is being built by Martifer Solar, a subsidiary of Martifer SGPS. The company is responsible for all of the engineering and construction, and will … Read More

Lux Research have released a new report which states that grid storage demand will grow to $10.4 billion in 2017, and that “strategic valuable partnerships are key to success”. The grid storage market has grown surprisingly fast, starting from a modest $200 million in 2012, making the $10.4 billion figure extraordinary. In order to address this fast-paced growth, Lux Research believe that “developers will need to find the best partners that can not only improve … Read More

The world leader in LED lamps built from pure gallium nitride substrates (GaN on GaN), Soraa has urged the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR program to specifically address light quality and colour rendering in its upcoming new lamp specification. Soraa aren’t the first to jump on the bandwagon supporting higher colour rendering, with many individuals and industry groups backing the move, including California Lighting Technology Center; Professors Shuji Nakamura and Steven DenBaars; the International Association of … Read More

This post first appeared on San Diego Loves Green by Roy L Hales Anyone who thinks that share price tells all should listen to theStockradio.com's interview with Envision Solar's CEO, Desmond Wheatley. (Click here to access it.) During the past two year the company's share price has dropped from 55 to 18.5 cents. That would normally be a bad sign, only Envision used those two years to develop the Cadillac of solar structures. The pun, made … Read More

This post first appeared on RenewEconomy It was just a few years ago when a modest 1.5kW rooftop solar system – the equivalent of around six panels – was the norm for Australian households. How that is changing. As today's Graph of the Day – courtesy of Warwick Johnston's Sunwiz Consulting – shows, barely 10 per cent of the rooftop solar systems installed in Australia now are of that size. Already, the average size of … Read More

This post first appeared on Gas2 by Jo Borras In a move worthy of a few paragraphs in one of the good Ayn Rand novels, Henrik Fisker is working with an investor group led by multi-billionaire (and early Fisker investor) Richard Li in hopes of buying out Fisker's DOE loans and saving the company. When Henrik Fisker walked away from the Fisker brand and his longtime partner, Bernie Koehler, over budget concerns and disagreements about the future direction of … Read More
