WattHead: What Do We Want? Cheap, Abundant Solar! When Do We Want It? Now! - 0 views

  •  
    The solar industry is booming, ramping up production capacity and driving costs down steadily towards the mythical "Grid Parity" point - the price point when solar on your roof beats paying your utility bill. That's a game changer and the solar industry is steadily heading that direction.

  • Not only the largest operational solar thermal energy system, but also the largest solar power system of any kind, SEGS is a trough system.
  • Até agora, a maior iniciativa do governo federal, pensando na diversificação da matriz energética nacional e na segurança do abastecimento, foi o Programa de Incentivo às Fontes Alternativas de Energia Elétrica (Proinfa). Iniciado em 2002, com conclusão prevista para dezembro deste ano, o Proinfa previa a contratação de 3.300 MW, a partir de três fontes renováveis: eólica, Pequenas Centrais Hidrelétricas (PCHs) e biomassa
  • Um dos maiores potenciais de energia eólica do Brasil, o Ceará foi mais uma vez escolhido para ser gerador da fonte renovável. O Estado deu, nesta sexta-feira (05), mais um passo na caminhada para se tornar autosuficiente na geração de energia, até o ano 2010, e passar até a vender parte do que for produzido. O município de Paracuru, a 90 quilômetros de Fortaleza, inaugurou nesta sexta um novo parque eólico, que está funcionando com 12 aerogeradores.

IEEE Spectrum: Breakthrough in Capturing Lost Energy in Solar Cells - 1 views

  • Material chemists at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Minnesota say that according to their research, the efficiency of a solar cell may potentially be increased to more than 60 percent, up from what was thought to be a limit of about 30 percent. They report their findings in today’s edition of the journal Science.

India could be a top-five solar energy market within 5 years - 0 views

  • India's National Solar Mission made public India's intent to increase to 20,000 Megawatts its solar installation by 2022. Burdened by permanent electricity shortages and complicated energy needs, India has the type of population and economic growth – as well as a geographic landscape naturally primed to support PV implementation – that bodes well for a future of clean tech and growing PV business opportunity. According to Vishal Shah, the Indian market is very promising.

AMOLF / Philips Research develop new coating for solar cell efficiency using SCIL lithography | Philips Innovation Services - 0 views

  • Researchers from FOM Institute AMOLF, together with Philips Research, have developed a new type of anti-reflective coating that can reduce the reflection of a silicon wafer, the base material for solar cells, from 40% to 1%. This can significantly increase the efficiency of solar cells.  The new anti-reflection coating can also find applications in coatings for lenses, cameras and photo detectors.

Rendement de 23,4% pour une cellule solaire < Technologie - Enerzine.com - 0 views

  • Des chercheurs de la branche ISE de l'Institut Fraunhofer ont obtenu un taux de rendement de 23,4% pour une cellule solaire monocristalline en silicium composée d'une couche mince semi-conductrice de type-p sur un substrat semi-conducteur

Growth of solar energy is not in line with the needs for ambitious energy transition | EU Science Hub - 3 views

  • With an installed capacity of 117 GW at the end of 2018, the EU further lost ground in the worldwide market.
  • According to a recent 100% RES scenario of the Energy Watch Group, the EU needs to increase its PV capacity from 117 GW to over 630 GW by 2025 and 1.94 TW by 2050 in order to cover 100% of its electricity needs by renewable energy.

Global Solar PV Shipments Likely to Double to 16 GW This Year - 2 views

  • While Europe constitutes 80 percent of the demand it is likely to grow at a slower pace as compared to Asia. Several European nations have, quite surprisingly, rolled back financial incentives for solar PV consumers.
  •  
    According to last week's investigation on the balance of plant for PV systems, that means a new copper demand of 16,000 to 160,000 tonnes for the year. A good median estimate is 50,000 - 60,000 tonne.
