Sporadic complaints concerning solar panels are that they are not necessarily attractive. However, this may be about to change. Researchers created an innovative new transparent solar cell; this means that windows can have the capacity of producing electricity while they are allowing people to see through it. This interesting development is described by the Los [...]

The efficiency of solar panels has always been an issue. However, this might be about to change. The recent test carried out on solar satellites shows that it might actually be possible to transmit beams of energy from space to power cities on earth. Microwaves or laser beams could be used to send energy beams [...]

Typical wisdom says that we have already reached the maximum efficiency per wind turbine. However, this restriction on wind energy efficiency might be based on the use of mature technology without re-invention. The California Institute of Technology research has re-invented some of the basic assumption that underlines the wind industry. They believe it is time [...]

New CVP Cell has been created to capture solar energy at a higher efficiency. JDSU recently announced the release of a new concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) cells with the potential to further harness sunlight within solar panels. The organisation is currently cooperating with large solar system integrators. They are aiming at installing CPV cells in solar [...]
