![]() Munich, Germany (UPI) Jun 11, 2010 The world's biggest solar energy fair is under way in Munich, as growth continues to dominate the sector despite a reduction in government subsidies across Europe. France, Italy and Germany have reduced their feed-in-tariffs recently, leading to a flurry of short-term installations and worrisome statements by officials from the solar industry. The public outcry was loud but, in general, the industry likely won't suffer much: While growth in Europe may slow down, new markets are emerging ... read more |

'Nanocoax' Solves Solar Cell 'Thick And Thin' Dilemma![]() A nano-scale solar cell inspired by the coaxial cable offers greater efficiency than any previously designed nanotech thin film solar cell by resolving the "thick and thin" challenge inherent to capturing light and extracting current for solar power, Boston College researchers report in the current online edition of the journal Physica Status Solidi. The quest for high power conversion eff ... more Pratt And Whitney Rocketdyne Receives Contract For Concentrated Solar Power Tower ![]() Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne received an award of up to $10.2 million from the Department of Energy to design and develop technologies aimed at significantly lowering electricity costs using a Concentrated Solar Power Tower with Thermal Storage (CSP Power Tower). "This award is a key step in reducing the cost of solar power to levels competitive with fossil fuel-based power without the nee ... more Copper Nanowires Enable Bendable Displays And Solar Cells ![]() A team of Duke University chemists has perfected a simple way to make tiny copper nanowires in quantity. The cheap conductors are small enough to be transparent, making them ideal for thin-film solar cells, flat-screen TVs and computers, and flexible displays. "Imagine a foldable iPad," said Benjamin Wiley, an assistant professor of chemistry at Duke. His team reports its findings online t ... more |
