Washington, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced selections for up to $53 million in new projects to advance early-stage solar technologies. Through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office, DOE will fund 53 innovative research projects that will lower solar electricity costs and support a growing solar workforce. “Innovation is key …
Following is a transcript of the video. SmartFlower is an intelligent “sunflower” that will “bloom” to generate clean solar energy. By tracking the sun from east to west, it aims to be more efficient than regular solar panels. The SmartFlower claims to produce energy with 40% more efficiency than other solar panels. SmartFlower was inspired by the heliotropic properties of …

A few materials scientists have, however, announced the discovery of a means to increase concentrated solar power efficiency, according to a paper published recently in the journal Nature by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Wisconsin — Madison and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Concentrated solar power systems generate power by concentrating a large area of sunlight onto a small area through the use of mirrors or lenses. Electricity is …
When I tell friends that I have solar water heaters I assembled myself – with parts from the store, things friends gave me and stuff from the dump – a quantitative person will clear his throat, take off his glasses, nibble pensively on the stems and ask, “When will they pay for themselves?” Before I met Marsha, The Almost Perfect …

Photographer: Carla Gottgens/Bloomberg First Solar, the largest U.S. solar equipment manufacturer, published a mixed set of Q3 2018 results on Thursday. While earnings came in ahead of market expectations, the company reduced its outlook …
A prevailing problem with the structure of organic cells is that molecules in the active organic layer responsible for light absorption and charge transport tend to face both towards the edges of cells, as well as towards the light absorbing substrate. Maximizing the number of molecules facing the substrate, however, is the key to maximising absorption and conductivity of the …
