NREL Researchers Calculate Boost From Reflected Light Hitting Back of Device A bifacial perovskite solar cell, which allows sunlight to reach both sides of the device, holds the potential to produce higher energy yields at lower overall costs, according to scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy … [continued]
I worked in the Chinchilla/Dulacca area of Queensland’s Darling Downs in the early ’80s. It was a sea of undulating green fields — wheat and sorghum. Then came the coal mines, the gas fracking, and the polarization with the “Lock the Gate” and “Coal for Breakfast” campaigns. Now the area … [continued]
Fixed solar array fields are one of the easiest and lowest maintenance ways to create grid electricity from the sun. No moving parts, no pollution, no energy cost, and almost no O&M. In this day and age, it is truly a YES.
Cutting pollution and global heating emissions in the United States is dependent more than anything else on 1) shifting from fossil fuel powered vehicles to electric vehicles and human-powered transit, and 2) switching from coal and natural gas to solar and wind energy. Auto dealers have had an … interesting … [continued]
In Europe, new techniques are combining solar and agriculture to make land more productive.
In the latest TalkSolar episode, I interview Ralph Velasquez of NewWind, out of Nashville, Tennessee, about NewWind’s new way of maximizing solar on your roof. Find Additional Energy Podcasts with Talk Solar on BlogTalkRadio Ralph has been involved in the roofing and building industry since 1978, and renewable technologies since 1999. In his career, … [continued]
