With the increase in the cost of the fuel charges nowadays people adapt to use the solar technology in which the energy is generated through the sunlight.
The solar panels are nowadays used for the residential purpose as the electricity bills are emerging a lot to bring the affordable power for the remote areas where there is no electricity...
Jasper solar power project is a 96MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant being developed in Northern Cape Province near Kimberly in South Africa. The plant will become one of the biggest solar power plants in Africa, upon completion. The project will be developed and operated by California-based solar developer SolarReserve and its consortium partners Kensani and Intikon Energy.
European astronomers have found 32 new planets outside our solar system, adding evidence to the theory that the universe has many places where life could develop. Scientists using the European Southern Observatory telescope didn't find any planets quite the size of Earth or any that seemed habitable or even unusual. But their announcement increased the number of planets discovered outside the solar system to more than 400.
From concentrated solar power to floating wind turbines and from printable organic solar cells to biomass gasification, power-technology.com picks six of the most promising new green power technologies. Concentrating solar power technology Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology involving the use of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a receiver that captures and converts the solar energy into heat for electricity generation has been in use since 1980s.
While the use of solar cells is become increasingly widespread, the silicon technology used in many types is becoming obsolete. JP Casey looks at concentrated solar power, micro-trackers and perovskite compounds as innovations that could potentially improve solar efficiency.
Get the future of power generation from Nextek Power System. Renewable energy from solar is the major process of generating huge power in the near future
By making solar panels that are lighter, more flexible, partially transparent and organic, a team of researchers hope to make solar more energy efficient, and crucially more economical in production terms.
The Mount Signal Solar Project, also known as Imperial Valley Solar 1 (IVS1), is a utility-scale photovoltaic power plant, located in Imperial County, California, approximately 100 miles (160km) east of San Diego.
In line with their ambitious Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, the Indian government has recently announced plans for what could become the world's most powerful solar plant.
Mildura Solar Power Station is a concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) project being built in Carwrap, south of Mildura in the state of Victoria, Australia. The project will use high performance solar cells used to power satellites. The plant was proposed to have an installed capacity of 100MW initially to reduce the annual greenhouse gas emissions by 396,000t.
Vietnam has witnessed a huge rush in solar PV projects development as the validity of attractive feed-in-tariff (FIT) rates ended on 30 June 2019.
According to the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) as of 30 June, a total of 82 solar power plants with a cumulative capacity of 4.46GW had been connected to the national grid.
