Solar Concentrated - new photos from Morgansolar
23% of efficiency
Abengoa Solar in Seville had installed a solar panels of Concentrix Solar. Those panels are 23 % efficient.
The 23% or better AC efficiency reflects the actual electricity fed into the grid after sunlight is first [...]
Kyocera solar pannels are good value
The Kyocera KC190GT is a very good solar panel for the price and works well in everything from small-scale residential solar power systems to mid-scale commercial projects. Kyocera uses newly developed treatment method processes multi-crystalline silicon cells in order to produce a surface texture that minimizes surface reflectance and maximizes output.
The Kyocera 190-watt solar panel [...]
New electric car from TATA is called Indica
Tata’s new Electric Car is called Indica. This EV is scheduled to be launched in Norway in 2009 and India in 2010.
You can drive the car on the highway, the car is a four-seater, with enough room for luggage and the ability to go from 0 to 60 kilometers per hour (0 to 37 miles [...]
Round CIGS are more efficient and cheaper
Company called Solyndra has invented circular photovoltaic panels. They are seems to be more efficient than traditional solar PV panels and they are easier and cheeper to install too.
We know that usually CIGS are not as efficient as photovoltaic systems based on silicon cells. But they are more and more popular, quite a few companies [...]
MDI prepares new Air cars for spring 2009
MDI is going to sell their air powered cars in the US at the beginning 2010 as I wrote in one of my artisles in the past.
This time they came with slightly different concept. The urban city car of the future is called AirPod. What’s so weird about this car? This car is powered by [...]
Konaraka is industrializing their production of flexible solar cells
Konarka’s advanced photovoltaic technology started with the work of the late Dr. Sukant Tripathy, an internationally known polymer materials scientist, provost at UMASS Lowell and founder of the Plastic Innovation Center and Dr. Alan Heeger, Konarka’s chief scientist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2000. The ground-breaking discoveries from both founding scientists [...]
Chevrolet Volt at Paris Motor show pictures
I bring in some pictures from Paris Motor Show. The Chevrolet Volt - Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle - is exposed there.
The Volt is an electric vehicle that recharges its lithium ion batteries from an AC outlet or an onboard gas engine. The production version looks very different from the concept car that was shown in [...]
How to cut your electricity bill with solar power generator
There is a lot of ECO gadgets around these days. One of them is this little solar power generator.
This device generates both: solar and wind energy, as it uses a collection of six photovoltaic panels, crafted as a vertical turbine. While the panels generate solar power, the moving blades generate wind energy.
One never know how [...]
