According to Nano TechWire website reported that the recent Massachusetts Technology Association (MIT) successfully created a cost-effective way, the traditional glass into the high-tech solar concentrators, so that once the technology was shelved "re - The newborn. "
The use of stained glass techniques to gather and guide the solar panels from the surface of the loss of photons, office buildings and stained glass roof to gather energy.
Researchers will be painted with double-pane glass or multi-layered condenser dyes, dye absorption in the solar energy will be distributed to the glass, that is, through the channel will spread to light along the edge of solar panels. This can be color to dye chemicals, dyes in the most visible under a transparent color.
The technology in the 1970s had once set off, but because of the stained glass than plastic-stained, the more light gathered at the edge of the glass, so pronounced a failure. Today, the technology still needs a complete system to support, at least, you need 20-30 years to achieve production.

Dye Solar Concentrators Technology "Be Reborn"
Gore: The United States Within 10 Years Should Be To Achieve 100 Per Cent Renewable Energy Use
Just as May 25, 1961 U.S. President John F. Kennedy vowed to achieve 10 years moon landing, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has made in 10 years of the realization of each kilowatt-hour of electricity from wind, solar and other Earth Friendly energy resources of the bold vision. He expressed the hope that the next president to hold this dream took office.
Gore is a Nobel laureate, he actively opposed to global climate change, and made a practical action. Gore said: fuel price increases, climate change and national energy security issues are forcing the courage to take a major move to weaken reliance on fossil fuels for the birth of the new government.

EPV SOLAR On The Purchase Of 250 MW Thin-Film Solar Template With City Solar Signed A Framework Agreement
Headquartered in New Jersey, the template thin-film solar PV systems manufacturers and suppliers EPV SOLAR, Inc. Announced today that the company has with the City Solar Kraftwerke AG signed a long-term supply of solar energy template agreement. City Solar is a Bad Kreuznach, Germany, the world-class large-power plant developers, installers and operators. Under the framework agreement, City Solar will be in five years to purchase 250 megawatts (MW) amorphous silicon templates. City Solar plans to use the template EPV to further implement its growth strategy in Europe. The first use of the EPV template 2-megawatt project will be before the end of 2008 in Germany to complete. To catch up with the timing of the project, according to the agreement, EPV SOLAR has started its New Jersey factory product shipments. Later this year, the product will be EPV SOLAR Germany Senftenberg in the new film photoelectric (PV) products shipped from factories. The plant with an annual capacity of 30 megawatts, are scheduled to begin production in 2008 autumn.
The two companies are committed to the comprehensive application of solar energy. As before, City Solar scope of business has involved many a production capacity of 81 megawatts of grid projects, including one at the Spanish Beneixama capacity of 20 megawatts of power plants, it is also the world's largest power plant-one . City Solar CEO Steffen Kammler comments, said: "We have selected EPV SOLAR as our business partners, which they attributed to reliable low-cost amorphous silicon technology. EPV SOLAR We believe that the template for our optoelectronic Customers extraordinary performance value. City Solar expectations EPV SOLAR reached long stable relationship further expand our global elsewhere develop marketing skills and cooperation in the fields. "
EPV SOLAR CEO Scott T. Massie, said: "We are very pleased to our City Solar thin-film technology and products that a high degree of recognition. The new contracts we have witnessed first-class integrated with Europe's cooperation strategy." Massie added, Said: "We are committed to providing the lowest in the world able to supply the current cost of optoelectronic thin film photoelectric template. Our goal is to help customers achieve a short period of time 'grid parity' (solar electricity costs and the cost of existing flat)."

Changzhou Trina Solar Photovoltaic Cells To Help The World's First New-Energy Power Flight
An integrated photovoltaic cells power the new energy, such as scale models of aircraft in the first half of the global air show on the frequent appearance, has attracted numerous visitors to the eye, the aircraft is Air France Lisa and Changzhou Trina Solar Limited Work closely with the fruit.
To produce high-quality sales of photovoltaic products that the China Jiangsu Changzhou Trina Solar Lisa French aviation company and the common development of a new energy force aircraft, the aircraft will be the world's first solar-hydrogen energy as a power source and the innovative aircraft . According to the agreement, Trina Solar Lisa Air France will provide at least 292 high-performance photovoltaic cells, batteries will be integrated in the new energy force aircraft wings and tail, produced by photovoltaic cells power the aircraft will take off and Life to provide sufficient energy.
Such as the completion of the production model, a new energy force aircraft will be completed before the end of 2009 assembly, then Lisa aviation aircraft will conduct a comprehensive technical tests. At the same time, Lisa global aviation will be recommended, including Trina Solar photovoltaic cells, engines, and other partners and their advanced technology, which are partners in the new global energy industry is the impact of increasing. Ultimately, new energy, will power the aircraft in 2009 began its voyage of nearly 1,500 kilometers of global flight.
Adoption of new energy force aircraft development process, Trina Solar and Lisa Airlines will jointly provide the energy crisis of the traditional solutions, including photovoltaic, to prove that the new energy future is truly dependent on a new type of energy.

Intel To Germany Sulfurcell Investment Of About 38 Million U.S. Dollars
Intel Capital said Wednesday, the company has the German film solar cell components developer and manufacturer of Sulfurcell investment of about 38 million U.S. dollars.
Sulfurcell the money will be used to build factories in Berlin to expand production.
President of Intel Capital, Intel Executive Vice President Arvind Sodhani said: "Solar power generation 'cleaner technologies' global investment Intel Capital is one of the focuses of concern, especially in the global warming crisis and rising energy prices especially in a situation . Through selective investment innovative technologies, such as Sulfurcell developed by the technology, our aim is pushing up the feasibility of alternative energy sources, promoting more companies and individuals choose alternative energy sources to reduce carbon emissions.
