United Kingdom: Solar could provide as much power as Hinkley Point C for half the subsidy cost

Blue and Green: As the official state visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping looks set to include a big announcement on Chinese backing for the new power station at Hinkley Point, the Solar Trade Association has undertaken analysis showing that solar PV could provide the same amount of electricity for half the subsidy cost. The analysis shows that a combination of solar, storage and other flexibility mechanisms would cost consumers roughly 50% less than Hinkley Point C over the 35 year lifetime of the Hinkley...

Activists say solar can power India, but politics and economics of coal win out

ClimateWire: One year ago, environmentalists hailed this tiny village as the future of clean energy in rural India. Today, it is powered by coal. Dharnai, a community of about 3,200 people in eastern India's Bihar state, had been without electricity for three decades. So when activists with Greenpeace set up a solar-powered microgrid in July of 2014, the excitement was palpable. But, residents said, the problems started almost immediately.

Study sees ecological risks as solar expands

Climate Central: Solar power development is big business in sunny California, fueled by low solar panel prices and the drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate change. Some biologists, however, are growing concerned that the placement of new large-scale solar power plants in the Mojave Desert may harm the biological diversity found there. A study published Monday shows that solar power developers in California have been using mostly undeveloped desert lands with sensitive wildlife habitat as...

Solvents save steps in solar cell manufacturing
2015-10-20 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Advances in ultrathin films have made solar panels and semiconductor devices more efficient and less costly, and researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory say they've found a way to manufacture the films more easily, too. Typically the films--used by organic bulk heterojunction solar cells, or BHJs, to convert solar energy into electricity--are created in a solution by mixing together conjugated polymers and fullerenes, soccer ball-like carbon molecules also known as...
