Reuters: Swiss industrial group ABB (ABBN.VX) is to buy solar energy firm Power-One Inc (PWER.O) for about $1 billion, betting growth in emerging markets will revive a sector ravaged by overcapacity and plunging demand in recession-hit Europe. The world's biggest supplier of industrial motors and power grids said on Monday it had agreed to pay $6.35 per share in cash for Power-One, the world's second-largest maker of solar inverters that allow solar power to be fed into grids.

Solar booster shot for natural gas power plants
2013-04-11 23:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Natural gas power plants can use about 20 percent less fuel when the sun is shining by injecting solar energy into natural gas with a new system being developed by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The system converts natural gas and sunlight into a more energy-rich fuel called syngas, which power plants can burn to make electricity. "Our system will enable power plants to use less natural gas to produce the same amount of electricity they already make," said PNNL...

He`s selling a light, just a small half-circle tied to a three-inch-wide solar panel. An older man tests it in his home, a tiny hut of tarp and tin built like the 30 others in this slum settlement on the far north side of Bangalore. A kerosene lamp flickers inside. At a second home, Arun wields his 1,600-rupee ($29.48) gizmo for a woman seated with nine children. He points out the small cellphone...
