Technology Review: Silicon Nanocrystals for Superefficient Solar Cells - 0 views

  •  
    A typical solar cell generates only one electron per photon of incoming sunlight. Some exotic materials are thought to produce multiple electrons per photon, but for the first time, the same effect has been seen in silicon.

Potato chip bag technology enlisted for solar industry | Tech news blog - CNET News.com - 0 views

  •  
    The secret to producing thin-film solar cells comes in part from the snack food industry, says Ascent Solar. The Littleton, Colo.-based company says it will deploy high-speed thermal evaporators--the same equipment used to seal Doritos bags--to produce copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) solar cells.

Technology Review: Thin Film's Time in the Sun - 0 views

  •  
    The low manufacturing cost of photovoltaics that employ thin films of cadmium-telluride semiconductor have long been seen as having the potential for lifting solar power from its niche status as a very expensive power source, delivering less than a twentieth of 1 percent of U.S. electricity.

Homeowners Who Go Green Face Neighbors' Objections; How Gore Got His Solar Panels | Rea... - 0 views

  •  
    In neighborhoods across the country, there's a battle brewing: the environmentalists vs. the aesthetes. As "green"-minded homeowners move to put in new energy-efficient windows, solar panels and light-reflecting roofs, they are bumping up against neighbors and local boards that object, saying the additions defy historic-district regulations, will look ugly or damage property values.

Thinking Pink to Produce 'Green' Solar Energy - 0 views

  •  
    When it comes to producing earth-friendly solar energy, pink may be the new green, according to Ohio State University researchers. Scientists there have developed new dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) that get their pink color from a mixture of red dye and white metal oxide powder in materials that capture light.

Printed Electronics World.com: When Will Organic Photovoltaics be Viable? - 0 views

  •  
    The benefits of non-silicon photovoltaic materials are many and varied. Some are transparent, permitting the face of a wristwatch to generate power, the power source having zero footprints. Some, such as Dye Sensitised Solar Cells printed by G24i in the UK, generate electricity at narrow angles of incidence and even with polarised eg reflected light. DSSC designs can use light of all visible frequencies, not just sunlight.
