Solar Energy Strikes Again
This video is an upbeat and energetic look at solar power including solar panels. The video also has slides with information and statistics about the ways solar power is already implemented into our world today.
Silicon Nanoparticles Boost Solar Cells
Solar panel technology takes another step forward as a leader of green living and energy conservation with its new innovative design. U.S. physicists have found placing a film of silicon nanoparticles on a silicon solar cell can boost the cell’s power, reduce heat and prolong cell life.
For solar power, the future looks bright
Fortune Magazine talks about Swanson, a 62 year old engineer that gave up a tenured position on the faculty at Stanford to start a solar-energy company in 1985. Since then he has watched other other companies, with inventive ideas and impractical plans, fail. And that’s how it unusually worked in the solar business. His company, …
The California Solar Initiative — Triumph or Train Wreck?
A Year to Date review of the California Public Utility Commissions’ California Solar Initiative Since its passage in August of 2006, the California Solar Initiative (CSI) has been touted as the best solar program in the U.S., and even one of the best in the world. Indeed, the $3 billion performance-based incentive program designed to …
