By Frank Andorka Tokyo, one of my favorite cities in the world, is about to do something REALLY dumb: build a solar road. By Frank Andorka, Senior Correspondent If you’ve followed my writings over time, you know how I feel about solar roads. I find them to be one of the greatest boondoggles of all…
By Kelly Pickerel Two patent applications for perovskite thin-film solar cells by Solar-Tectic have been allowed by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). One patent covers all kinds of perovskites. The inventors are Ashok Chaudhari, founding manager of Solar-Tectic; and the late Dr. Praveen Chaudhari, renowned materials physicist. Recently perovskite materials have gained much…
By [email protected] California fire investigators have blamed Pacific Gas & Electric for failing to clear trees and brush from around power lines that sparked eight wildfires that tore through Northern California last fall, adding to the list of potential financial liabilities threatening the utility. Friday’s report from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection…
By admin Thermal desalination is a proven technology well suited to the harsh conditions in the Gulf, but from an energetic viewpoint is quite inefficient compared to today’s more widespread Reverse Osmosis. The post Can New Renewable Energy Powered Desalination Solve Our Water Shortages? appeared first on Solar Thermal Magazine. Read Full Article Here For…
Researchers have combined silicon- and perovskite-based solar cells. The resulting efficiency of 25.2 percent is a record for this type of tandem cell. Their innovative yet simple manufacturing technique could be directly integrated into existing production lines, and efficiency could eventually rise above 30 percent.

By Paul Grana By Paul Grana, co-founder, Folsom Labs In earlier articles we’ve already pointed out that inverter clipping isn’t as significant as most people think, and that in a grid-power-constrained system it may be economically optimal to have a rather large DC-to-AC ratio. But what if there was a situation that resulted in significantly…
