By [email protected] Onshore wind is running out of ways to keep ahead of solar energy on cost, according to Wood Mackenzie. Wind turbine makers and project developers will continue to introduce new technologies and cut costs, but “constraints on technology innovation are on the horizon,” at least for onshore wind farms, WoodMac said Wednesday, highlighting…
Researchers demonstrate how laser etching of metallic surfaces creates the ”perfect solar energy absorber.” This not only enhances energy absorption from sunlight, but also reduces heat dissipation at other wavelengths. The researchers also demonstrate solar energy harnessing with a thermal electric generator. Read Full Article Here For more great articles: Solar Energy News — ScienceDaily
