PV against cancer
Research from the United States has demonstrated how PV technology can be used to kill cancer cells. Although still at an embryonic stage, the findings of the study and initial test results suggest solar power could be an effective tool in relation to light-activated fluorescent dyes for disease diagnosis, image-guided surgery and site-specific tumor treatment.

Spanish PV association wishes to limit the dimension of new solar farms
Spain needs to limit the size of new photovoltaic projects and also much better disperse the plants in the country. Rather, smaller sized projects of one to ten megawatts ought to be supported, which would then also lie closer to the customers, demands the Spanish National Association of Solar Power Producers ANPIER (Asociación Nacional de Productores de Energía Fotovoltaica).

Waves, wind & floating PV
Dutch proving ground TNO is establishing an examination center for floating PV plants in Oostvoornse, where it will certainly examine the effect of wind as well as waves on floating frameworks as well as module return. TNO Senior Project Manager Jan Kroon informed pv magazine that it will certainly analyze module damages and also the influence of waves on light absorption. It has actually currently discovered that the proportion in between wave-height and also wave-length is an essential consider inequality losses, while keeping in mind that optimizers as well as micro-inverters on panels can alleviate losses.

Canadian researchers have done the math on optimizing PV output
Mathematicians at Canada’s University of Waterloo who turned their attention to solar power have developed an algorithm they say offers better control over PV plant output. The researchers estimate the algorithm could improve the output of a 100 MW power plant by almost a million kilowatt-hours per year.

New PV system for exteriors, home windows in Japan
Japan's Kaneka as well as Taisei have actually created their T-Green Multi Solar system to be incorporated right into wall surfaces as well as home window surface areas. The system is readily available in 2 various variations-- a strong key in which PV laminates are developed into upright outside panels or wall surfaces, and also a variation that attains openness with candy striped solar cells that are incorporated right into home window glass.
