![]() Seal Beach CA (SPX) Jun 30, 2010 The Boeing Company has announced it has installed 23 high-concentration photovoltaic solar power panels at a 100-kilowatt power facility being built by Boeing on the campus of California State University, Northridge. The solar panels feature the new XR700 solar technology supplied by Spectrolab, a wholly owned Boeing subsidiary. The technology brings down the cost of electricity by concentrating more sunlight on fewer cells to produce the same amount of electricity. "This milestone is the re ... read more |

Major Hurdle Cleared In Road To High-Efficiency Solar Cells![]() A team of University of Minnesota-led researchers has cleared a major hurdle in the drive to build solar cells with potential efficiencies up to twice as high as current levels, which rarely exceed 30 percent. By showing how energy that is now being lost from semiconductors in solar cells can be captured and transferred to electric circuits, the team has opened a new avenue for solar cell ... more Microcircuit Materials Introduces New High Efficiency Solamet ![]() DuPont Microcircuit Materials has introduced its newest generation of frontside metallization pastes for crystalline silicon solar cells - DuPont Solamet PV16x series photovoltaic metallizations. This advanced series outperforms previous generation products by delivering up to 0.4 percent greater conversion efficiency for solar cells. PV16x series photovoltaic metallizations are also suita ... more Saft Lithium-Ion Battery Technology To Provide Renewable Energy Storage ![]() Saft lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology will supply renewable energy storage for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District's (SMUD) photovoltaic (PV) storage pilot program at Anatolia, Ill, a high penetration PV community within SMUD's service territory. This year, SMUD was awarded $4.3 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to conduct a two-year pilot project to examine the ... more |
