Silevo unveils hybrid solar cell tech, Chinese factory — Cleantech News and Analysis. Engineers give solar power a boost. The growing popularity of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems across the United States has made it more important to maximize their power input. That's why UC San Diego environmental engineering professor Jan Kleissl is working on technologies and methods that will better predict how much power we can actually harness from the sun. In a paper recently published in the journal Renewable Energy, "Optimum fixed orientations and benefits of tracking for capturing solar radiation in the continental United States," Kleissl and his Ph.D. student Matt Lave explain why it's important to strategize on solar installation, depending upon the location of the building relative to the sun. For example, Kleissl and his students at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering have improved the solar map for the state of California, which allows homeowners, photovoltaic installers and utilities to better predict how much energy they will get out of their solar systems.
Peel and Stick Solar Panels Use Thin Film Solar Technology | Solar Power - PV Panels. Peel and stick solar panels have a broad range of applications Looking for the next big thing in solar energy? Peel and stick solar panels use thin film solar technology that allows a broad range of applications, as well as cost significantly less than traditional silicon PV solar panels. The cost savings come in large part due to the fact that the solar cells do not need glass-covered panels or mounting frames. Not only does that save money, but it also gives peel and stick solar panels a sleek, less noticeable appearance. Among several companies manufacturing peel and stick solar panels is Global Solar Energy Inc . Peel and stick solar panels can be applied to structures, like homes, and can also be implemented in portable solar power charging systems for military operations and Third World Countries.
I can imagine a wide range of possibilities for thin film solar cells – the future of solar power is on its way! Nanotechnology for Solar Energy: Free webinar - Register Now! - The International NanoScience Community. Physicist developing, improving designer optical materials. Advancements in fabrication technologies may lead to superlenses and other designer optical materials, according to an Iowa State University and Ames Laboratory physicist. In an article titled "Improving Metamaterials" published in the Perspectives section of the Dec. 17 issue of the journal Science, Costas Soukoulis and Martin Wegener write about the man-made materials designed to deliver certain properties not found in nature. Soukoulis is an Iowa State University Distinguished Professor and Frances M. Craig Professor of Physics and Astronomy and a senior scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory who collaborates with the University of Crete in Greece and with the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas, Greece.
Wegener is the group leader for the Institute of Applied Physics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany. But Soukoulis and Wegener offer some hope in their paper.
