Italian scientists have developed solar panels using a pigment found in blueberries, thus eliminating the need for silicon. The result is a much cheaper solar panel with greater efficiency.
The research team concluded that they could make a solar panel that was completely devoid of all silicon, and the end result was a solar panel [...]
Chemical engineers at Oregon State University have invented a new technology to deposit “nanostructure films” on various surfaces, which may first find use as coatings for eyeglasses that cost less and work better.
The same technique is applicable to solar panels…. That’s where is the interest in this technology. But how does it [...]

Konarka Technologies Inc of the US showed different forms of thin-film solar cell modules manufactured by roll-to-roll process. The 2nd International Photovoltaic Power Generation Expo (PV EXPO 2009)held in Japan.
“The exhibited products are translucent, but we have already developed totally transparent solar cell modules,” said John [...]
MorganSolar – a Canadian company developing CPS (concentrate photovoltaic system) has changed a bit their original design of their solar concentrators. The change is mainly on the module LSO (Light-guide solar optic). It went from triangle to square. You can read my previous articles about MorganSolar here or
Printed solar cells is one of the solutions to make solar panels. Like the Nanosolar’s printing machine, there are other initiatives starting to develop. One of them is at CSIRO Australia. Peter Batchelor, announced today the start of printing trials by Securency International, a banknote printing company.
“The [...]
For the past seven years, BrightPhase Energy has been developing crossbred renewable energy and energy efficiency technology that use existing technologies in patented, highly engineered designs.
BrightPhase’s fusion of concentrating photovoltaics and daylighting technologies in one module effectively combines two major climate stabilization components in one compact and highly efficient solution. PhotensityTM [...]
