Conditions within the energy industry have changed significantly in recent years. The increased cost of natural gas have made this an expensive source of power, while concern about global warming and the introduction of limits on CO2 emissions will have a profound effect on the use of coal in power generation at least in the [...]
The world´s largest solar photovoltaic farm in Portugal. The country expects to generate about one third of its power through solar energy.
The farm, located at the top of the plain Alantejo near the small town of Mouro, will be twice as big than any other project of this type. The farm includes 2520 giant solar [...]
The ability of plants to capture and store solar energy through photosynthesis promises to be a good solution as a renewable energy for mankind.
However, agriculture must maintain its primary role in energy production, creating healthy meals for the human body. Can we develop sustainable biofuels and ensure a continuous supply of food at a fair [...]
Even with the crushing Arizona sun, the electric meter at the home of Stephanie Feil in Rio Verde Foothills revolves so slowly that most did not pass on Wednesday. Until the air conditioning started working. At that time began to turn back.
Feil is one of the residents of Scottsdale who got permits for solar [...]
The Atlantic City Convention Center has signed a 20 year agreement with Pepco Energy Services for a 2.36 megawatt solar roof installed on the building. When completed later this year, the project is estimated to be America’s largest solar energy building. This is 13.321 solar panels covering nearly two thirds of the building and saving [...]
No longer depends entirely on the individual companies and individual investors that solar energy is transformed into something meaningful for the U.S. electricity – if it may happen is in the hands of utilities.
Clean Edge and Co-op America has released a report analyzing the roles of factories to make solar energy an accessible source [...]

Turkey could produce 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, Soner Aksoy, chairman of the Parliament’s Committee for Industry, Commerce, [...]
Electricity Solar Panels
The solar electric panels (or photovoltaic) generate electricity for residential and commercial use. The solar panels come in different shapes and sizes but what people have to decide is whether they wish to have the panels mounted on the roof or inside the roof.
Solar Panels on Roof
The easiest way to feed the solar [...]
There are many ways to harness solar energy in residential, but the two are distinguished by their technology and their use: to use solar energy to heat water and generate electricity.
One of the most common questions I receive in my mailbox for me is how much to install solar on my house? And then [...]
Southern California Edison (SCE) has signed a contract to procure 245 MW of additional solar energy to its customers with Pasadena. eSolar based in California was chosen for this first effort of national commercial energy technology that uses solar thermal tower.
The project will be built in the Lancaster area of California, is expected to [...]
