Artificial photosynthesis is based on the concept of a dye analogous to chlorophyll absorbing light and thus generating electrons which enter the conduction band of a high surface area semiconductor film and further move through an external circuit, thus converting light into “green” power.
They want to be the leading supplier of 3rd Generation Solar Technology. [...]

EDF - Electricité de France, the main European provider has made an investment of $50 million into Nanosolar . Nanosolar is well known company which is specialised in copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) solar cells. CIGS cells cost less and can be integrated into building materials. Nanosolar’s cells can be printed on thin, flexible sheets of metal. They [...]

CIGS cells use extremely thin layers of semiconductor material applied to a low-cost backing such as glass, flexible metallic foils, high-temperature polymers or stainless steel sheets. Thin-film cells require less energy to make and can be fabricated by a variety of processes. Because of this, they provide a promising path for providing more affordable [...]

If you think that you need a piece of mind, this gadget is a must for you. A solar battery charger for your cellphone. It comes from Japan.

This little cell phone strap from Strap-Ya is actually a small solar cell that can store energy and charge your phone. It can be charged up to 500 [...]

Thist time it’s for good. I beleive that this technology will bring the solar energy to the masses. Let’s have a look. I already talked about Nanosolar’s flexible solar panels which can lower the producing costs. But few days ago Konaraka announced succesfull testing a inkjet printing technology to produce a solar panels.

“Inkjet printing is [...]

A company from Wyoming is producing solar panels for cars. The company is developing solar cells which are couple of inches thick and large enough to fit on the roof of your car…. Pretty cool. The solar system like this is capable to supply power to a variety of elements in your car!
The roof-mounted solar [...]

Recently introduced by the city’s council a new electric bikes available for free to rent to the population of the city of St Leu (FR) (Reunion Island). The bike is carying a battery on the back inside a small trunk. The battery is charged by solar system at the city’s council. It’s rechargeable battery [...]

I had already talked about the Air compressed car recently. This time acording to BusinessGreen blog by 2009-2010 this car will be available on the North American market. MDI is the US representative Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM). They said  that the car will cost around $17,800. There’ll be 2 models available (3 and 6 seets).
The [...]

Solar car could hit market soon
This car was inspired from the race car of National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences. A car for two persons, batteries powered electric engine. The maximum speed 70 m.p.h This car can be on the market within a year !!!

Company named Cool Earth Solar announced lately that their concentrators can be much cheeper than traditional solar panels and can produce electricity cheap enough to be competitive with traditionals power plants. The concentrators are suspended in series on support and control cables stretched between poles. By [...]
