Chevron Tests Emerging Solar Technologies In Central CaliforniaBakersfield CA (SPX) Mar 23, 2010 Chevron has started Project Brightfield, a demonstration of next-generation solar energy technologies in Bakersfield, California. The project, created on the site of a former Chevron refinery, will evaluate seven emerging photovoltaic technologies to help determine the potential application of renewable power at other company-owned facilities. The former refinery site has been repurposed to test the performance of six emerging thin-film technologies and one emerging crystalline-silicon photovoltai ... read more |

Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) Mar 08, 2010If harnessing the unlimited solar power of the sun were easy, we wouldn't still have the greenhouse gas problem that results from the use of fossil fuel.

A new solution may be coming from an unexpected source - a source ... more  
Berkeley CA (SPX) Mar 08, 2010Solar cells made from silicon are projected to be a prominent factor in future renewable green energy equations, but so far the promise has far exceeded the reality. While there are now silicon photovoltaics that can convert sunlight into electricity at impressive 20 percent efficiencies, the cost of this solar power is prohibitive for large-scale use. Researchers with the Lawrence Berkele ... more
