Solar technology and research continues to help find more efficient and less expensive ways of generating solar electricity. One option may be transluscent solar cells (transparent). Solar panels made using this solar technology, which consists of translucent crystal like cell with transparent backside, are now available for consumer purchase. Switching to solar power via transluscent [...]

Breakthrough solar research and development from Silicon Solar Solutions, an Arkansas-based research firm will be featured at the prestigious Cleantech Open business competition. Solar technology developed by Silicon Solar Solutions eliminates processing steps and materials needed to create photovoltaic solar cells. As a result, the new technology could reduce PV panel costs by 42 cents [...]

When you think of jellyfish, what comes to mind? Renewable energy? Probably not, but researchers have discovered a way to get solar power from jellyfish. Jellyfish are some of the Earth’s most ancient organisms – even older than sharks. Floating through the oceans without any internal organs, the creatures can reach sizes of more than [...]
For most of us, switching to solar energy is usually a question of cost. Most people and businesses can make the transition from fossil-fuel based power with the help of rebates and falling solar panel costs. If you don’t want to purchase panels outright, you may want to consider a solar panel lease or solar [...]

Its budget time for the federal government. While the news has been buzzing about the deficit and cuts in funding, the Department of Energy announced that approximately $12 million has been allotted for solar R&D. The federal funds will largely be provided to several solar photovoltaics (PV) projects that are undertaken in conjunction with the [...]
