What is the likelihood that solar panel technology will improve drastically in the near future such that current solar panel technology will be completely obsolete before 10 years time? The reason for my question is as follows: I’m thinking about… Continue Reading
SolFocus provides solar energy solutions which will enable solar energy generation that is cost competitive with traditional fossil fuel sources. SolFocus has an expanding portfolio of products and technologies including solar concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) systems, intelligent tracking systems for CPV… Continue Reading
I recently saw on an episode of prison break that this fictional covert international organization (the company) was planning on combining the elements boron, argon, gallium, and indium to produce a revolutionary solar technology that could be used to harness… Continue Reading
www.thetechstop.net The inefficiency of solar cells is not a big secret. Though some of the more advanced technologies are approaching some respectable efficiencies (think 10-15%) most consumer-level products are big, bulky, expensive and have conversion rates hovering below 10% —… Continue Reading
Video from Technology parter, Eric De Guzman.
Apparently this is the latest going green solar technology that will power our cities, see description here http://www.squidoo.com/solarchimney. Is this actually going to work? They have a great computer graphics video here, but a tower 1 KM tall? can they… Continue Reading
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) – Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is looking toward her political future even as her political present has yet to be decided…… ….Palin spoke after touring Xunlight Corp., one of a handful of solar technology startup… Continue Reading
It would be a gret way to reduce our needs for fossil fuels, but we don’t seem to be taking advantage of solar technology. Why not?
The list must include: a) the type of solar technology used in them – e.g., solar PV, solar thermal, solar CPV, solar troughs, solar heliostat etc. b) location of installation c) capacity of peak power produced / expected d) (optional)… Continue Reading
So I’m reading this article on Wikipedia about Solar Energy. I have to do this project about biofuels, and solar energy is one of them. It says: "Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive or active depending on the… Continue Reading
