Chevron Commissions 190kW PV InstallationLoveland CO (SPX) Apr 30, 2010 Abound Solar has announced the commissioning of a commercial-scale ground mount PV installation as part of Chevron Technology Ventures' Project Brightfield. The ground-mount facility built on land in Bakersfield, CA formerly occupied by a refinery, has a nameplate capacity of 190kW and is projected to produce more than 300 MWh per year. The array of Abound Solar's AB1 modules comprises one of the largest components of Chevron's Project Brightfield, a test facility to compare the performance ... read more |

Bloomington IN (SPX) Apr 13, 2010To make large sheets of carbon available for light collection, Indiana University Bloomington chemists have devised an unusual solution - attach what amounts to a 3-D bramble patch to each side of the carbon sheet. Using that method, the scientists say they were able to dissolve sheets containing as many as 168 carbon atoms, a first. The scientists' report will appear in a future issue of ... more  
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Apr 13, 2010Two trends are emerging for future renewable electricity. In the first, local solar, wind or biomass plants will produce more energy for small communities or single homes. In the second, large amounts of electricity will be generated by solar power stations in desert areas or extensive offshore wind farms, and delivered over long distances to densely populated areas. But how can electrical ... more 
Payerne, Switzerland (AFP) April 7, 2010The Solar Impulse aircraft, a pioneering Swiss bid to fly around the world on solar energy, successfully completed its first test flight in western Switzerland on Wednesday. "There has never been in the past an aeroplane of that kind to fly. It was a huge question mark for us and it's an extraordinary relief," said Bertrand Piccard, pioneering round-the-world balloonist who co-founded the pr ... more |

Blueprint For 'Artificial Leaf' Mimics Mother NatureSan Francisco CA (SPX) Apr 01, 2010 Scientists have presented a design strategy to produce the long-sought artificial leaf, which could harness Mother Nature's ability to produce energy from sunlight and water in the process called photosynthesis. The new recipe, based on the chemistry and biology of natural leaves, could lead to working prototypes of an artificial leaf that capture solar energy and use it efficiently to change water into hydrogen fuel, they stated. Their report was scheduled for the 239th National Meeting of the Am ... read more |
