Kenya: How solar panels are leading the fight against malaria
2013-04-26 01:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Solar panels are to play a key role in an innovative new project to rid a small Kenyan island of malaria, which if successful could have global implications for fighting the disease in remote regions. The project, a brainchild of the Netherlands' Wageningen University, will see over 4,000 solar-powered mosquito traps fitted across Rusinga island in Lake Victoria. "Our ultimate goal is to completely eliminate malaria from Rusinga Island," said research leader Willem Takken. "But we want to do...

IBM unveils cheap solar system with promise to harness 2,000 suns
2013-04-24 12:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: IBM scientists have developed a method of dramatically improving the overall efficiency of concentrated solar power systems to 80 per cent. The High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal (HCPVT) system developed at IBM Research's Zurich laboratory uses a mirrored, parabolic dish to direct incoming solar radiation onto PV cells. A tracking system ensures the dish is always in the best position as the sun moves across the sky, enabling it to concentrate the power of 2,000 suns, which the one square...
