Cheap solar power pushes renewables growth worldwide
2014-04-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The share of total global electricity production generated by renewable energy is climbing, mainly because solar photovoltaic systems are becoming less expensive, according to a report released Monday by the United Nations Environment Programme and Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Wind, solar and other renewables, excluding hydropower, were 8.5 percent of total global electric power generation last year, up from 7.8 percent in 2012, the report says.

New Hybrid Solar Device Exploits the Best of Both Worlds
2014-04-08 14:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: The two most common ways of generating power from the sun both have their drawbacks. Photovoltaic cells, which absorb photons from sunlight and convert them to electricity, operate with only 20 percent efficiency. That is because they can use only photons within a certain range of wavelengths to excite electrons. Solar-thermal systems, which turn sunlight into heat and then into electricity, are more efficient than photovoltaics--because they can use the entire solar spectrum, they can reach efficiencies...
