A few years ago, Craig Winn launched a new company with two employees and a good idea: leverage the auto industry’s engineering prowess to improve solar manufacturing. Three years later, the Michigan-based company has hired nearly 50 workers and doubled its production capacity.

Tuần trước, cửa hàng di động có tên gọi SolarKiosk đã chính thức khai trương ở gần vùng Lake Langano, Ethiopia. SolarKiosk được thiết kế bởi các kỹ sư người Đức, sử dụng năng lượng mặt trời

Ambitious multi-billion-dollar projects to harness the power of the region's year-round blazing sun have already been announced by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.

THERE are no electric poles on the tiny island village of Baleswar in Nalbari district of Asom. Even then, you can see people using fans and lights, charging their cellphones and even operating computers! All thanks to solar power.

So far, it has been determined that GaInP cells placed at a maximum depth of 9.1 meters (29.9 feet) provide an output of 7 watts per square meter (10.8 sq ft) – enough to power a device such as an environmental sensor.

Getting energy from the sun is a great idea. However, installing solar panels house-by-house is slow, costly and cumbersome, and downright inefficient if the goal is to bring solar to the masses.

Morocco's ambitious and expensive plan to draw 40 percent of its energy needs from the limitless power of its blazing sun by 2020 received a publicity boost this week as the first solar powered plane to make an intercontinental flight landed in the North African kingdom.

Smartphones and tablets may be in vogue, but there are still millions of us who do most of our surfing on an old school computer.

New York City has big plans to make a name for itself in the sustainable energy sector: It wants to become a solar energy hub and export the solar market analysis tools it is developing throughout the world.

Engineers at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland are aiming to boost the future of renewable energy by collecting solar power in space

Sáng ngày 05/06, máy bay năng lượng mặt trời duy nhất trên thế giới (Solar Impulse) đã tiếp tục thực hiện chặng bay thứ hai từ Madrid đi Rabat, Marocco trong hành trình bay xuyên lục địa

The university researchers have already tested equipment in space that would provide a platform for solar panels to collect energy and allow it to be transferred back to Earth through microwaves or lasers.

They will have the option to purchase or lease the equipment, which Real Goods Solar will install and service.

"We have just prepared a proposal for 10,000 solar based water systems which supply drinking water to communities in rural areas," Rural development minister Jairam Ramesh said while addressing a conference here.

After a year of preparation, the SNEC International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference and Exhibition will begin today at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

Scientists from the University of Southern California have been working on a way to make solar energy more efficient, affordable, and convenient. As with other forms of alternative energy, solar energy is often criticized as having numerous flaws. Researchers from USC believe that some of the problems that are inherent in solar energy systems can be remedied through the development of new solar cells.
