Engineering breakthrough promises significantly more efficient solar cells
2013-03-07 22:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new technique developed by University of Toronto Engineering Professor Ted Sargent and his research group could lead to significantly more efficient solar cells, according to a recent paper published in the journal Nano Letters. The paper, "Jointly-tuned plasmonic-excitonic photovoltaics using nanoshells," describes a new technique to improve efficiency in colloidal quantum dot photovoltaics, a technology which already promises inexpensive, more efficient solar cell technology. Quantum dot photovoltaics...

Day of reckoning comes for Chinas solar industry
2013-03-07 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Quartz: Is Suntech too big a Chinese brand to fail? On March 15, the cash-strapped solar company--until recently the worlds biggest photovoltaic panel maker--faces a $541 million payment on convertible notes, a quarter of the $2 billion in debt it has incurred. Whether Suntech can strike a deal with its bondholders or secure a government bailout will set the stage for the collapse or consolidation of the Chinese solar industry. Other photovoltaic giants, including Trina Solar and JA Solar, also face...

India Announces Its First Solar City (In Order To Protect Taj Mahal)
2013-03-07 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CleanTechnica: The Indian government`s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has approved plans to build 2,000 kWp of capacity in the city, around 10% of it`s current consumption, which will come from a variety of sources. These include over 1.5 million gallons of heated water per day, 6400 solar street lights, 4600 solar cookers, and 20 solar traffic lights. The overall budget for creating India`s first solar city is estimated at $100 million, of which 70% will be shouldered by the private sector and 27% by...

India's villagers reap visible benefits from solar electricity scheme
2013-03-06 11:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: India's rush for industrialisation may be stymied by a lack of power for its factories, but, barely noticed, solar electricity is being taken to thousands of villages in one of the most ambitious grassroots projects ever attempted. Five years ago an estimated 400 million people lived with rudimentary, low-quality kerosene lamps, providing poor, polluting and often dangerous light. A further 100m homes were nominally connected to the grid but had intermittent power, often at times when no one wanted...
