The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) solar installations topped 3,536 MW in 2011.

As one of the Ministry of Industry and Trade award-winners in an energy efficient building contest, the Fortuna Hotel in Hanoi is held up as an effective example of energy conversation.

The Trung Son Hydropower One-member Co., Ltd. under the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) concluded an Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) contract on October 22 in Hanoi for Package W-MW-01 on construction of the Trung Son Hydropower Project under a joint venture between the Sam Sung C&T and Irrigation Construction Joint Stock Company 47.

Solar power installations are well worth the investment, even in snowy climates, according to new research from Michigan Technological University. The albedo effect caused by white snow cover actually helps to increase solar panel efficiency (counter to what many of us might have thought).

Research shows newly developed solar powered cells may soon outperform conventional photovoltaic technology. Scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have demonstrated the first solar cell with external quantum efficiency (EQE) exceeding 100 percent for photons with energies in the solar range. (The EQE is the percentage of photons that get converted into electrons within the device.)
