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...

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...
