![]() Oakland CA (SPX) Sep 28, 2010 The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved the construction of BrightSource Energy.'s Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. The approval brings BrightSource, a developer of utility-scale solar thermal power plants, one major step closer to commencing construction of the 370 nominal (392 gross) megawatt project. When constructed, Ivanpah will nearly double the amount of solar thermal electricity produced in the United States today. "We're thankful for the Commission's approval of ... read more |

Forcing Mismatched Elements Together Could Yield Better Solar Cells![]() In what could be a step toward higher efficiency solar cells, an international team including University of Michigan professors has invalidated the most commonly used model to explain the behavior of a unique class of materials called highly mismatched alloys. Highly mismatched alloys, which are still in the experimental stages of development, are combinations of elements that won't natura ... more Three-Quarters Of New PV Systems Worldwide Were Installed In The EU In 2009 ![]() In 2009, newly installed photovoltaic (PV) cells world-wide produced a peak amount of electricity estimated at 7.4 GW, out of which 5.8 GW was located in Europe. Similarly to previous years, this shows the EU's dominance, where more than three quarters of the world's new solar systems were installed. By the end of 2009, Europe's cumulative installed PV electricity generation capacity (exis ... more Solar Frontier Supplies CIS Solar Panels ![]() Solar Frontier K.K. has announced that it will supply CIS thin-film solar cell modules on the scale of roughly 1 megawatt to the "Tsuno No. 2 Power Plant", a power plant that Miyazaki Solar Way Co., Ltd. of the Kokusai Kogyo Group plans to start operating in 2011 in the town of Tsuno in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. (The modules will be delivered by the JFE Steel Corporation Group.) The cons ... more |

![]() El Segundo CA (SPX) Sep 09, 2010 Aggressive government incentives are set to trigger booming growth in solar installations in Ontario, Canada, in 2010-but regulations requiring the use of locally sourced photovoltaic (PV) products will cause the expansion to slow dramatically in 2011, according to market research firm iSuppli Corp. Ontario's PV solar technology system installations are expected to rise to 257 Megawatts (MW) in 2010, up 272.5 percent from 69MW in 2009. However, installation growth will slow dramatically in 2010, r ... read more |
