This project, along with two other new projects, increases the company's order backlog by 65%.

Efforts to address climate change and protect natural ecosystems can – and need to – benefit each other. But conflicts can arise. This Future Brief focuses on how land-based ecosystems are affected by wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) development, and how win-win solutions which maximise both conservation and climate benefits may be developed. Recommendations include careful site planning, regeneration and enhancement, and use of multi-level ecosystem data.

The solar energy market is hampered by multiple barriers to adoption in the EU and worldwide, according to a new review. Researchers from Sweden and Spain found that lack of government commitment as well as various sociotechnical, management and economic barriers prevent photovoltaic technologies from being more readily adopted.

Passive solar is pretty simple. The solar part is obvious: It refers to the sun. The passive part means it works without any mechanical devices, added energy in

Artificial photosynthesis could produce the perfect clean fuel to run everything.

Photovoltaic cells convert the sun's energy into electricity — but what if solar energy could instead be converted directly into liquid fuel?

Massive investment coupled with falling prices has created a perfect renewable storm in the Golden State.

An arc detection and intervention system for a solar energy system. One or more arc detectors are strategically located among strings of solar panels. In conjunction with local management units (LMUs), arcs can be isolated and affected panels disconnected from the solar energy system.

A solar energy collection system can include support devices made with bearings formed from sheet material. These bearings can be optionally formed so as to provide tool-less connections to their associated bearing housings. The bearings can be formed with an open configuration allowing a shaft to be inserted into an open bite of the bearing. Optionally, the bearing can be made from an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene plastic material. Additionally, two open-type bearing assemblies can be mounted axially offset and opposed to one another.

A method of treating sludge using solar energy is provided. The present invention utilizes a Fresnel panel frame that includes at least one Fresnel panel. The Fresnel panel may cover at least a portion of a bed cavity. An amount of waste may be placed within the bed cavity. When placed in sunlight, the heat enhanced by the Fresnel panels may heat the waste sufficiently for safe easy disposal, recycling, or for the creation of fertilizer.

A system for harnessing solar energy using heating applications to generate intense heat for steam boilers and all other water heating applications. Electricity is generated using a steam turbine engine that employs a bank of four biconvex octave lenses, with each having specific sizes, radii, arc convexity and distances from one another in mathematical orderliness in compliance with the Geometry of Space and the Law of Octave of Elements of Matter. The focal points of these lenses are positioned onto a boiler tank consisting of a pair of flat steel sheets in which water runs through from one side and comes out as steam on the other side of it. The steam is then fed into a steam turbine engine to generate electricity. A dual axle sun tracker is adjusted beneath the boiler plate to track the sun's movement from both east to west and north to south at all times. A system of highly conductive carbon rods is assembled on top of the Tasoptic lenses to be activated and subsequently produce an intense arc of hot white light to simulate the sun's parallel rays during the night and cloudy days for the continuity of operation at all times.

Incredibly, 1.1 billion people – 14% of the world’s population – still live without access to electricity. In rural, remote communities, many people simply have no light after sunset. That makes being productive at night—such as working and learning--extremely difficult. Limiting useful hours of the day by access to daylight holds back personal and economic development and wastes human potential.
