The challenge is to see whether the four teams can complete the 80-day trip emissions-free, according to Zero Race organiser Louis Palmer, who drove his own “solar taxi” through 38 countries over 18 months. The typical look of a solar car is more like that of a spaceship than of a sedan, being only a [...]
In the world of solar power, there are panels small enough to charge a cell phone and bigger panels installed on a roof by professionals, but not much in between. Clarian Technologies is shooting for that space in the middle. The Seattle-area start-up is developing a kit that lets you dip your toe into solar-generated [...]
The Victoria-Suntech Advanced Solar Facility made its first formal public appearance on Tuesday, June 1, 2010.

The PRNewswire article Swinburne and Suntech Launch Advanced Solar Facility in Melbourne [...]
Ford Motor Company is teaming with Detroit Edison, Xtreme Power and the state of Michigan to establish one of the largest solar power generation systems in the state at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant. The renewable energy captured by the project’s primary solar energy system will help power the production of fuel-efficient small cars, including Ford’s [...]
Some laboratories have achieved impressive efficiencies under concentrated sunlight. SunPower Corp. is much closer to the market. The California-based company recently produced a record-setting 24.2 percent efficiency large area silicon wafer in its Philippine factory. Heat loss from available silicon solar cells reduces the maximum efficiency to around 30 percent. Professor Xiaoyang Zhu at the [...]
August 9, 2010 Xinyu City, China: LDK Solar to Construct 1 GW Cell Plant LDK Solar yesterday announced that the Anhui Provincial Government has invited LDK Solar to invest in a world class solar cell and module facility in Hefei High-Tech Industrial Development Zone in order to establish a renewable energy manufacturing hub in the [...]
There’s a news today on “Solar hot water systems catching on” i read on site mysanantonio. The first thing in mind that people usually did when they came across the word solar is roof thing with big plate shining glass. And then, this thing turns light on. Often overlooked is an older, simpler solar technology [...]
Environment are getting it all back as the bad news about solar is also a topic to concern. In china, they discover that the Solar Panel manufacturer dumb toxic waste in nearby village, and the grass and tree would not grow. Having said that, production of polysilicon for panels gives off a highly toxic byproduct [...]
Brumby a free-roaming feral horse in Australia promise to be a solar-power state, this is shown in latest news today. The idea to promot the solar energy is because it will provide the place with 8 times more electricity than it need. Support from government are given to expand the solar power production. If the [...]
Making your own solar panels is perfectly possible if you have the right solar panels from home. The good news is that making your own solar panels is a lot cheaper than buying them and having them professionally installed. However, it’s important that you follow a reliable guide for best results.
