40 kW Solar PV System Completed at FREEDM Systems Center

AEG Power Solutions (AEG PS), North America’s premier provider of turn-key solar solutions for commercial buildings, has completed the rooftop solar installation for North Carolina State University’s FREEDM Systems Center. Designed for the newly-built Keystone Science Center in the university’s Centennial Campus, the solar system will provide energy to the 15,000 square-foot headquarters of the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Cent.

Affordable Solar Power, Breakthrough Solar Systems

The more affordable solar power becomes, the more people are going to use it. This is simple. Poll after poll has shown that people like solar energy and think we need to use it more, but many people are turned off by high, initial capital costs (even if they’ll get their money back on those in a few years). An innovative solar start-up in Seattle, Washington, Clarian Power, seems to have come up with a good, breakthrough solution to help solve this issue.

Off-the-Shelf Dyes Improve Solar Cells

Like most technologies, work on solar devices has proceeded in generational waves. First came bulk silicon-based solar cells built with techniques that borrowed heavily from those used to make computer chips. Next came work on thin films of materials specifically tailored to harvest the sun's energy, but still more or less borrowed from the realm of microelectronics manufacturing. Then came the third generation, described by one researcher and blogger as "the wild west," which among other objectives aims to build inexpensive next-generation solar cells by relying on decidedly low-tech wet chemistry.

New Solar Prediction System Gives Time to Prepare for the Storms Ahead

A new method of predicting solar storms that could help to avoid widespread power and communications blackouts costing billions of pounds has been launched by researchers at the University of Bradford.
