There’s been a lot of talk about solar power and renewable energy lately. This has caused people to look beyond conventional fuel sources to sustainable alternatives that not only offer a cheap solution in the long run, but help preserve the environment
A division of Dow Chemical named Dow Solar has announced
that it is going to sell its Powerhouse Solar Shingles that were earlier
available only in Colorado in Northern California and Central Texas. The solar
shingles will be firstly marketed and received
Thanks to modern technology, we’re able to enjoy the facilities of tablets, notebooks, smartphones and a whole host of gadgetry. Not only have we come a long way in scaling down the size of most consumer products, but we’re looking at ways to reduce p
It is always good to have the results with high figures, when it comes to the advanced spectrum of green technology. But, to know what lies beneath those efficacious attributes is sometimes as important as the result itself. In this respect, scientists at
Countries under the Gulf Cooperation Council may soon have to look to the sun for help in powering desalination plants. Current systems require huge amounts of energy, are expensive and rather inefficient. It’s likely that they won’t last for more tha
We had always wondered why South East Asia and Africa were so far behind on solar technology considering how most of the region is far more suitable for tapping the sun’s endless riches, when compared to Europe and North America. Part of the problem is
It is simply baffling that streets across the world are still not turning toward solar power for lighting needs as aggressively as they should. If you think of it, the idea is probably one of the easiest ways to go green and cut down our reliance on grid
In recent years, the efficiency of the traditional silicon solar cells has been improving, but the challenge technology faces is the natural theoretical limit at about 33 percent. The law of Physics doesn’t allow the cells to absorb photons below a cert
Theoretically speaking, solar cells have a limited capacity to harvest sunlight and convert it into electric energy. Since 1961 and until now, this restricted capacity stands at around 33.5 percent i.e. under ideal conditions, only 33.5 percent of the inc
It is not the first time when PLN has taken an innovative step in developing renewable energy in order to increase the electrification number ratio as well as to reduce the need of fossil fuels. Utilizing the power of sun this time in the outer islands of
