SolarTech, a non-profit solar industry consortium, has created a system for reporting and comparing solar energy quotes for customers. It is called the SolarTech’s Solar Energy Estimate Report (SEE Report) and is available on SolarHub.com (go straight to it on the link above). The site notes: “Solar contractors employ a variety of … [continued]
On Friday, Spanish wind energy giant Gamesa announced that it had received an order for 200 megawatts (MW) worth of wind turbines. The contract was signed with New & Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) for Egyptian wind energy projects in the Gulf of El-Zayt (in the Red Sea). “The project is … [continued]
This is one of the funniest videos I think I’ve ever seen. 😀 I think all wind energy lovers will get a kick out of it. And, well, even those who don’t love wind energy (maybe it will help to turn them around.) Great work by Epuron and the German … [continued]
This is a cool video on solar energy in Nicaragua. There, it’s not just about power, but also helps to provide people with drinkable water! Something to appreciate. It’s also nice to hear that the company featured in the video helps citizens to understand the system and maintain it. … [continued]
We’ve written about OLEDs (full name: Organic Light Emitting Diodes) a few times on CleanTechnica, including their flexible potential and some work in Germany to bring down their costs. Ernest Beck recently had an interesting piece on ecomagination on the breakthrough work of some OLED researchers from UCLA that we’ve … [continued]
I wrote about a cool Solar Schools program in the UK a few months ago. Basically, the program involves getting communities to fund solar power systems on their local schools. I recently got the news that the first Solar School in the program hit its target… three months early! … [continued]
A manufacturing facility titled Liotech was opened in Novobirsk, Russia as a joint venture between the Chinese firm Thunder Sky and RUSNANO.
I was planning to write a post along these lines, but then got the comment below from a reader the other day, which nails what I was thinking about. So, I immediately thought, “Why not just use this?” With permission, here’s the comment reposted, with slight modifications: I want … [continued]
While I’m planning to do my own cleantech 2011 roundup, this U.S. solar energy industry roundup from the people who know the industry best is quite good, so I thought I’d reshare it (everything after the image is from SEIA): Solar energy is one of the fastest growing industry … [continued]
This is why I wish Johnnie Cochran was a Climateer: he could sell the rhyme in the title of this post. If you don’t know who he was, then a) you’re young; and b) he was the lawyer who got OJ Simpson off the hook for murder. One of his … [continued]
