China aims to quadruple solar installations by 2020
2015-10-14 15:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: China`s solar power capacity is set to more than quadruple by the end of the decade, national media reported on Tuesday. By 2020, the National Energy Agency expects installations to reach 150GW, Xinhua revealed. That is up from 35.8GW in June 2015. Beijing has already upped its target for this year by 30%, Reuters reported, raising concerns about whether the grid can cope. Nearly a tenth of solar power generated in the first six months couldn`t be delivered due to network constraints, the NEA said....

Solar plane prepares for Amazon mission
2015-10-14 14:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Student engineers from ETH Zurich are preparing to fly their world-record breaking solar plane over the Amazon rainforest. The team is fitting its AtlantikSolar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for a 400 kilometer, 12 hour, flight as it seeks to push the endurance limits of solar planes. The fixed-wing 6.8 kilogram AtlantikSolar will be fitted with a variety of cameras and atmospheric sensors. AtlantikSolar's most recent landmark was achieved while carrying no payload this July. The team broke the...

Scientific breakthrough can lead to cheaper and environmentally friendly solar cells
2015-10-13 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] The hope is to develop efficient and environmentally friendly solar energy applications. Solar energy is an inexhaustible resource that we currently only utilise to a very limited extent. Researchers around the world are therefore trying to find new and more efficient ways to use the energy in sunlight. The technique the researchers in Lund are working on is solar cells consisting of a thin film of nanostructured titanium dioxide and a dye that captures solar energy. Today, th…
