Solar Cell Power Breakthrough
2013-03-28 14:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Due to some unique physical light absorption properties of nanowires, the limit of how much energy we can utilize from the sun's rays is higher than previous believed. These results demonstrate the great potential of development of nanowire-based solar cells, says PhD Peter Krogstrup on the surprising discovery that is described in the journal Nature Photonics. The research groups have during recent years studied how to develop and improve the quality of the nanowire crystals, which is a cylindrical...

BusinessGreen: Abu Dhabi's Masdar project has officially inaugurated the world's largest solar thermal power project, after yesterday bringing online the 100MW Shams 1 concentrated solar power (CSP) plant. The $600m project, which was developed in partnership with oil giant Total and Spanish energy developer and solar specialist Abengoa, is now expected to displace approximately 175,000 tonnes of CO2 a year and act as a forerunner for further CSP projects in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). "The inauguration...
