Untangling the Quantum Entanglement Behind PhotosynthesisBerkeley CA (SPX) May 11, 2010 The future of clean green solar power may well hinge on scientists being able to unravel the mysteries of photosynthesis, the process by which green plants convert sunlight into electrochemical energy. To this end, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC), Berkeley have recorded the first observation and characterization of a critical physical phenomenon behind photosynthesis known as quantum e ... read more |

CSIRO Building Largest Tower Of Solar Power
Newcastle, Australia (SPX) Apr 30, 2010In a major step forward for Australian research into solar energy, CSIRO is building the largest solar-power tower of its type in the world at the National Solar Energy Centre in Newcastle. The site will consist of around 450 mirrors (heliostats) that will direct solar heat onto a 30m-high tower to produce super-heated compressed air for a Brayton Cycle turbine. "The new technology w ... more New PV Encapsulant Helps Deliver More Power At Lower Cost
Wilmington DE (SPX) Apr 28, 2010In the drive for more cost-effective solar energy, technology leaders Oerlikon Solar and DuPont have collaborated on a new thin white reflective solar PV encapsulant sheet, called DuPont PV5223. This latest addition to the DuPont PV5200 Series of PVB sheets enables easier manufacturing of next-generation thin film PV modules that not only capture sunlight coming in, but also reflect more s ... more New REC Peak Energy Solar Module Delivers More Power Per Square Meter
Sandvika, Norway (SPX) Apr 28, 2010Fourth generation module, the first commercial product from one of the world`s largest integrated solar manufacturing facilities, provides more power per square meter with efficient cell and glass design and an average increase of nine watts per module. The REC Peak Energy Module is the first commercial product to be produced at REC's new manufacturing facility in Singapore. This site is o ... more |

Solar Energy Production Has Enormous Potential In Southeastern OntarioKingston, Canada (SPX) Apr 21, 2010 Solar power in southeastern Ontario has the potential to produce almost the same amount of power as all the nuclear reactors in the United States, according to two studies conducted by the Queen's University Applied Sustainability Research Group located in Kingston, Canada. These studies, led by Queen's mechanical engineering professor Joshua Pearce, are the first to explore the region's solar energy potential. Professor Pearce was surprised by how many gigawatts could be produced. "We came ... read more |
