Okay, so maybe Damon Runyon was not thinking about a government-supported energy efficiency research project when he wrote, “the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that’s how the smart money bets.” But if he was alive today, he might have been thinking of … [continued]
ITRI is on a roll when it comes to developing innovative green technologies that reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption, including a new CPV thin film and panel that can be integrated in windows, building structures and materials, as well as solar PV panels and systems. […]
There is a list of reasons why windows are awesome things to have in any room, and Sharp just added to it: the company has announced the release of see-through solar cell modules designed to act as architectural glass. […]
We’ve been covering research on windows that create solar power for years. We’re still not quite there, but advances seem to be speeding up. The latest step forward comes from UCLA. The day when we have windows producing solar power may soon be approaching. Here’s the full news below, … [continued]
Such power-generating windows might offer remarkable potential as an inexpensive source of solar energy that can attract many new renewable energy champions whose budgets have previously been restrictive in converting to solar energy. […]
The company is known for its development of see-through solar cells (which we’ve talked about before), and this week it’s just a little closer to making its almost invisible solar cells […]
Other than the solar energy news we’ve already posted on, here’s some more solar energy news from the last week or so from around the cleantech interwebs: Solar Technology News Solar nanowire array may increase percentage of sun’s frequencies available for energy conversion. Changing the concentration of indium allows … [continued]
Heliatek, funded by Bosch, BASF, and others, has figured out how to make a semi-translucent, flexible, and lightweight solar panel of […]
We’ve been covering New Energy Technologies and its SolarWindow technology for years (see the stories at the bottom of this post). However, a new solar startup out of the UK is apparently looking to offer a similar product and could even beat New Energy Technologies to market. Oxford Photovoltaics (aka Oxford … [continued]
We covered New Energy Technologies’ trademark SolarWindow technology a couple times last year after researchers at the United States Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) teamed up with New Energy Technologies to advance these SolarWindows. To put it simply, this technology would allow us to create electricity from solar technology … [continued]
