As solar panels boom, it was the simple business model that the big energy players missed
2014-05-16 13:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
GigaOm: Solar panels are now remaking the energy equation in the U.S. and breaking records for installations every quarter: There were more solar panels installed in the U.S. over the last 18 months than the last 30 years. But when it comes to making money off of this solar boom, some of the largest energy companies in the U.S. have (so far) left money on the table. Why? It wasn`t that they didn`t have access to some obscure panel technology patent that was invented years ago in a university lab. Or that...

Christian Science Monitor: Another initiative he announced Friday: More than 300 private and public organizations have also committed to boosting solar power and efficiency upgrades, according to the White House, joining in the Obama administrations efforts to cut carbon emissions and energy waste. Having begun the week with a sobering assessment of climate changes impact, the White House finished the week with proposed solutions to the challenge of rising greenhouse gas emissions. It is part of an effort to win public...
House windows that double as solar panels? Shiny quantum dots brighten future solar cells
2014-04-15 09:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A house window that doubles as a solar panel could be on the horizon, thanks to recent quantum-dot work by Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers in collaboration with scientists from University of Milano-Bicocca (UNIMIB), Italy. Their project demonstrates that superior light-emitting properties of quantum dots can be applied in solar energy by helping more efficiently harvest sunlight. "The key accomplishment is the demonstration of large-area luminescent solar concentrators that use a new...

British scientists develop solar panels which work better on a cloudy day
2014-03-18 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: In a departure from 'blue sky thinking' scientists in Britain have developed solar panels that work better on a cloudy day. Their material is as thin and flexible as cloth, and can be made in any colour and printed in sheets on a 3D printer. Although the technology is still at development stage, researchers hope that in future it could be used to make coats or bags which could charge phones or laptops or keep the wearer warm. It is so lightweight that it could also be fitted to homes cheaply...
