To power his home and his car, Greenberg has two solar installations and a solar water heater. They produce so much energy he has dubbed his home the Ordway Solar Power Plant. His solar panels, which sit atop his white roof, generate roughly 7,000 kilowatt-hours annually. His house and his electric car together use about 3,000 kWh per year. That leaves about 4,000 kWh surplus that he gives back to Pacific Gas & Electric every year, enough to power about two-thirds of another typical single-family home in the area.

"Combining these traits and achieving large-scale patterning could enable a wide range of practical applications, such as energy-generating solar windows, transparent solar panels, and new kinds of optical displays," said co-author Zhihua Xu, a materials scientist at the CFN.

Metallic nanoparticles can direct light better into the solar cell and prevent light from escaping. In conventional 'thick-film' solar cells, the nanoparticles would have little effect because all the light is absorbed by the film due to its thickness. For thin films, however, the nanoparticles can make a big difference.

Utilizing the most advanced solar thermal technology worldwide, the Crescent Dunes Plant will be the nation's first commercial-scale solar power facility with fully integrated energy storage and the largest power plant of its kind in the world

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.

Colorado Springs Utilities, a provider of electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater services, has signed an agreement with SunPower, a solar technology developer, to design and build a 6MW solar PV power system at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Stirling Energy Systems claims it has come up with a new solar thermal system that is simpler than other versions of the technology and will make the energy cheaper. The company plans to start building large solar power plants using this design within the next year.

How to use solar panels for power on a sailboat

How well do solar space heaters work? Solar room heaters heat your home with free heat from the sun. Is the cost worth it and what about hail and storms?

Solaroad is a road that also works as a solar panel. The combination of these two functions is special, and makes it possible within the space we still got to road use even solar energy to capture and converting it into electrical energy, which then can be used for street lighting, traffic systems, but also households.
