The Green Power Plan

Firstly, some simple explanation of photovoltaic cell (solar cell), solar panel and solar energy, so we can get better view of the subject we are examining. Photovoltaic (PV) cell is a composite of glass, usually two different types of semiconductors, junction in the middle, and two terminals on the outside (negative and positive). Joined number [...]

A simple way to reduce your personal carbon footprint is making use of services such as buses and trains to go to your office and back home.  However, tempting car owners to leave their luxuries at home and wait for a bus to their destination to arrive seems a tough ask.

In the span of a few short years, the solar-energy business has elbowed its way from the fringe of the global energy game to become its [...]

First comprehensive study of the US photovoltaic market based on a broad quantitative data base released. New study by EuPD Research analyzes current developments in the US photovoltaic market. Market participants expect a moderate but steady growth. Stop-and-go political support one of the key hindrances for market growth. Cautious optimism There is good evidence that [...]

Solar Power Shingles are photovoltaic devices, which transform solar power – light – radiation directly into electricity. They cover the roof as any other roof shingles, yet they introduce additional functionality. After the introduction of solar roof shingles we could say, that our roof could additionally work for us in producing renewable electricity and add [...]

New Power Generation technology, which uses the immense power of ocean waves is already at work in Portugal. This little country has proved its fantastic track record in use of renewable energy sources last year (2007), when it has achieved 40.7pc of all country’s electricity produced by renewable energy sources. Even though, the country lacks [...]
