US utility CenterPoint Energy has sought approval from the Indiana Utility Regulation Commission (IURC) to acquire a 130MW solar PV project in Pike County, Indiana.

In the ongoing race to create ever-better materials and also setups for solar cells, there are numerous variables that can be adapted to attempt to boost performance, including material type, thickness, as well as geometric arrangement.

New Energy Solar Ltd (ASX: NEW) has actually consented to unload its US solar portfolio to an associate of monetary services group Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) in a USD-244.5-million (EUR 244m) deal that will certainly lead to the winding up of the Aussie firm.

Chinese state-owned power company China Three Gorges has consented to acquire some 619 MW of solar PV assets in Spain from UK renewables investor Nexwell Power, according to numerous reports by the Spanish media.

United States community solar designer Syncarpha Capital LLC has safeguarded USD 100 million (EUR 99m) of financing to roll out solar and solar plus storage projects in Massachusetts and various other locations in New England.

Energy Efficiency Services Limited, which has currently bagged orders for 800 MW of dispersed solar setups in Maharashtra as well as 113 MW in Rajasthan, claims it will certainly turn out 1.5 GW of generation centers by the end of the following.

MIT engineers report producing the very first high-grade thin films of a new household of semiconductor materials. The task, which lead scientist Rafael Jaramillo describes as his "white whale" because of his fixation in pursuing it over the years, has the potential to effect several areas of technology if background repeats itself. The capability to develop top notch films of other families of semiconductors brought about computers, solar cells, night-vision video cameras, and extra.

Organic solar cells are less expensive to generate as well as more flexible than their counterparts made from crystalline silicon, yet do not supply the same level of effectiveness or stability. During his doctoral thesis, Andrej Classen, who is a young researcher at FAU, showed that boosts in performance can be achieved using bright acceptor particles.

A natural semiconductor photocatalyst that dramatically improves the generation of hydrogen gas can cause extra effective power storage space innovations.

State Payment Insurance Fund (State Fund), California's leading service provider of employees' compensation insurance, today announced that construction has started on a substantial sustainability and solar energy program that includes solar, electrical lorry billing stations as well as energy storage space at 7 locations throughout California.

The Brazilian Development Bank, or BNDES, has authorized a BRL-90-million (USD 17m/EUR 16m) funding to support 19 MW of dispersed generation (DG) solar power projects possessed by Helexia, a unit of France's Voltalia SA (EPA: VLTSA).

French renewable power producer and also designer Akuo has placed an order with First Solar Inc (NASDAQ: FSLR) for 500 MW direct current (DC) of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules for a project in the United States and also some other overseas markets.

The world energy crisis of the 1970s led to the emergence of a new scientific and experimental direction in construction associated with the concept of energy-efficient building.
