World's biggest floating solar farm powers up outside London

Guardian: On a vast manmade lake on the outskirts of London, work is nearing completion on what will soon be Europes largest floating solar power farm and will briefly be the worlds biggest. But few are likely to see the 23,000 solar panels on the Queen Elizabeth II reservoir at Walton-on-Thames, which is invisible to all but Heathrow passengers and a few flats in neighbouring estates. This will be the biggest floating solar farm in the world for a time - others are under construction, said Angus...

Singapore, one of the sunniest cities in the world, generates almost all its power from imported natural gas, with solar fuelling less than 1 percent. In countries like Germany and Japan, rooftop solar panels have helped boost capacity and bring record levels of renewable energy into the power mix....

Solar cells as light as a soap bubble

2016-02-28 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Imagine solar cells so thin, flexible, and lightweight that they could be placed on almost any material or surface, including your hat, shirt, or smartphone, or even on a sheet of paper or a helium balloon. Researchers at MIT have now demonstrated just such a technology: the thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced. Though it may take years to develop into a commercial product, the laboratory proof-of-concept shows a new approach to making solar cells that could help power the next generation...
