High-tech industrial battery manufacturer Saft will supply Sunica.plus batteries for a solar power installation at the Duhkan oilfield in Qatar, which covers an area of about 80 kilometers (50 miles) by 8 kilometers (5 miles).

A new experimental “smart town” based especially around the technologies of solar energy and battery storage is being developed in Japan by Panasonic Corporation (along with other public and private partners), based on recent reports.

The device consists of the mesh solar panel, which acts as the first electrode, beneath that is a thin sheet of porous carbon that is the second electrode and a lithium plate that is the third electrode. Between the electrodes are sandwiched layers of electrolyte for carrying electrons back and forth.

Components of the battery are made from alfalfa and pine resin, and can be recycled using a low energy process and non-hazardous chemicals like water and ethanol, unlike regular lithium batteries that require high energy processes using hazardous chemicals to recover any reusable components.
