Yale Environment 360: In U.S. Than in Oil and Gas Sector Alex Snyder Workers install solar panels in Wayne National Forest. Solar energy now supports more jobs in the U.S. than either the oil and gas industry or coal mining, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Solar jobs grew at a rate 12 times faster than general U.S. job market growth. Worldwide, employment in green energy grew 5 percent in 2015, to 8.1 million jobs, IRENA reported. The 58 percent drop in oil prices since...

How to get solar panels onto more affordable apartment buildings
2016-05-25 20:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Solar power seems like the ultimate no-brainer. Free energy from the sun! And the cost of installing solar panels -- like other renewables -- has plummeted in recent years. Still, solar power has not yet penetrated one of the markets that needs it the most: affordable multifamily housing. That could change, thanks to the advent of solar photovoltaic systems with backup battery storage (solar + storage). A new report, "Closing the California Clean Energy Divide," shows how solar + storage can overcome...

Using solid-state materials with gold nanoantennas for more durable solar cells
2016-05-25 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Hokkaido University scientists are testing the development of solar cells made of solid materials to improve their ability to function under harsh environmental conditions. Scientists at Hokkaido University in Japan are making leeway in the fabrication of all-solid-state solar cells that are highly durable and can efficiently convert sunlight into energy. The team employed a method called "atomic layer deposition," which allows scientists to control the deposit of very thin, uniform layers of materials...
