Tag: solarThin-Film Solar with High Efficiency Solexant is printing inorganic solar cells with nanomaterials. The low-cost cells make their debut on electronics-charging bags. Nano Ink Boost for Silicon Solar Inkjet-printed silicon increases solar-cell efficiency. Advanced Solar Panels Coming to Market Nanosolar's new factory could help lower the price of solar power, if the market cooperates. Superefficient Solar from Nanotubes Carbon nanotube photovoltaics can wring twice the charge from light. More Efficient, and Cheaper, Solar Cells New manufacturing techniques could cut solar power costs by 20 percent. Solar Industry: No Breakthroughs Needed The solar industry says incremental advances have made transformational technologies unnecessary. A simpler design could reduce the cost of solar power generated by concentrating sunlight on Stirling engines. A new solar-cell design could cut costs and is suitable for large-scale flexible panels. A bill before Congress may prove a costly way to reduce greenhouse gases. Ink-Jet Printing for Cheaper Solar Cells A new printing method could cut costs and produce more-precise features. Skyline Solar, a new startup, is combining conventional technologies to lower solar-power costs. Cash-Strapped Green Tech Changes Strategy The economy is slowing the progress of green technologies, but energy efficiency and clean coal continue to attract money. A Zero-Emissions City in the Desert Oil-rich Abu Dhabi is building a green metropolis. Should the rest of the world care? A new light-guiding optic combines low cost with high efficiency. |
