The thin film solar is one of the fastest growing areas in the market for solar panels. This has much to do with the cost of thin photovoltaic film. The film is cheaper than traditional silicon solar panels. There are many reasons for this. One is that the thin film solar cells use less material [...]
FTL announcement last week that, thanks to Terra Firma Capital Group, Josh Mailman Foundation, and private investors, now have the dollars needed to develop flexible solar cells, including his vision for creating PowerMods – structures covered in flexible solar cells that can be used in places where the solar panels do not normally work, such [...]
The Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Mitsubishi, and Tokki Corporation have developed a smart way to integrate solar cells into our lives, making them a little more friendly for the eyes. Meet the new leaves in a technological version of the plants home. The unit is a plant similar to a [...]
Restricting large subsidies, providing solar energy to the masses – from home to their cell phones – requires a greater fall in the cost of technology. Last week, a group of researchers in Australia and China announced they had moved towards the “holy grail of cost-effectiveness of solar energy.” According to Professor Max Lu, University [...]
I am currently writing in one of those rubber keyboards that can be rolled up and connect to a Sony UX Micro PC. But this new idea of an expanding electronic screen is powered by solar energy completely discards my rubber keyboard. Two Japanese companies, Mitsubishi Chemicals and Sumitomo Chemical are working in expandable electronics [...]
Currently we are experiencing a boom in the LED technology, but there is a new generation of LEDs called OLED which is nothing more than organic LEDS. Currently, the OLED (organic LED) is used in mobile phones and MP3 screens, but the way to improve this technology is still long. The OLED is very versatile [...]
Dow Building Solutions has been commissioned to come to the aid of Global Solar Energy in its efforts to market solar roofing tiles. These tiles are an effort to create an innovative BIPV or Building Integrated Photovoltaic technology for Dow’s participation in the USA. According to Dow, Global Solar was chosen as a partner because [...]
Why is it that the spies always get the best inventions? For example James Bond would kill for a watch that shoots lasers, a submarine car or an exploding pen. Not to protect the Queen and country, but to show off to his friends on Friday nights out. But in real life, the intelligence services [...]
