Norwegians trap sunlight with microbeads, produce solar cells that are 20 times thinner, cheaper
2013-01-29 16:08:18| Extremetech
Researchers from the University of Oslo have used a bunch of "wonderful tricks" to produce silicon solar cells that are twenty times thinner than commercial solar cells. This breakthrough means that solar cells can be produced using 95% less silicon, reducing production costs considerably -- both increasing profits (which are almost nonexistent at the moment), and reducing the cost of solar power installations.

Texas Wind and Solar More Competitive Than Natural Gas
2013-01-28 20:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: An interesting fact seemed to go unnoticed in all the press around the Electric Reliability Council of Texass (ERCOT) Long Term System Assessment, a biennial report submitted to the Texas Legislature on "the need for increased transmission and generation capacity throughout the state of Texas." ERCOT found that if you use updated wind and solar power characteristics like cost and actual output to reflect real world conditions, rather than the previously used 2006 assumed characteristics, wind and...
