World's largest building integrated 'organic' solar power installation completed
John Fitzgerald Weaver for Electrek: The ultra-environmentalist solar installation is seemingly 7-8% efficient, weighs 1/10th the weight of a standard solar panel and is held to the roof via an adhesive sticker on the backside of the panel.
Meet the startups changing the future of energy
Bonnie Christian for Wired: At this years WIRED Energy conference, some of the sector's most innovative early-stage companies pitched their ideas.
Lamborghini's New Concept Electric Car is Energy Storage On Wheels
Dom Galeon for Futurism: Together with MIT, Italian carmaker Lamborghini developed a new electric supercar that can also store energy. With supercapacitors instead of batteries, the Terzo Millennio is able to carry more power, which it can store in its carbon fiber body.
This weird $9 trick increases solar panel efficiency 5-17%
John Fitzgerald Weaver for electrek: Instead of perfectly spacing those 60 out - with small, defined areas between the cells - the company has allowed the solar cells borders to overlap each other while increasing the cell count to 68.
Robotics principles help wave energy converters better absorb power of ocean waves
Phys.org: "We are working to create methodologies and technologies that private companies can harness to create wave energy devices that will enable them to sell power to the U.S. grid at a competitive price,"
New fractal-like concentrating solar power receivers are better at absorbing sunlight
Kristen Meub for Phys.org: India is interested in developing 1 megawatt or smaller CSP facilities that could provide the appropriate amount of power for a small village or community.
Why can't every object in your home be a solar power generator?
Sian Bradley for Wired: "Tables are this big empty space, a surface that's not being used a lot. I saw their potential to be an independent power source, wherever you want to have it,"
Solar Panels Might Get More Efficient Thanks to a Butterfly
Avery Thompson for Popular Mechanics: By imitating the microscopic structure of a butterfly wing, a group of researchers designed a more efficient solar cell.
Solar farm in a box - 500 homes worth of solar power in a standardized kit
John Fitzgerald Weaver for Electrek: Their goal in designing the Solar Block is to lower the cost and speed the deployment of utility-scale solar power. The units can be daisy chained into larger plants.
Interview with Doug Campbell, CEO of Solid Power
Solid Power is developing the next-generation of all solid-state rechargeable batteries. Our materials platform is centered around our solid electrolyte, which takes the place of both the separator and traditional liquid electrolyte in our cells.
Solar-Powered Cars Compete in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge
Justin Hughes for The Drive: The 30th anniversary of the solar car race shows how far technology has progressed since its inception.
Roll-up solar panels power Flat Holm island
Geraint Thomas for BBC News: The Rapid Roll system allows flexible solar panels to be unrolled like a carpet from a trailer in two minutes.
Yet Another Energy Storage Breakthrough Coming, Thanks To "Weirdly Exciting" New Substance
Tina Casey for CleanTechnica: Bijel is short for "bicontinuous jammed emulsion gels." If that sounds somewhat mysterious, its really not. You can almost DIY your own bijel right at the dinner table. Heres the explainer from Berkeley Lab:
Tesla Patents New Process To Bond Solar Cells With Heat-Cured Conductive Adhesive
Steve Hanley for CleanTechnica: The solar cells are arranged in a cascading arrangement, then placed on a moving belt that takes them for a trip beneath the specially designed heaters. When they pop out the other end of the line, they are permanently bonded together.
Solar panels: Nanotechnology gives green energy a green color
American Institute of Physics via Science Daily: Researchers have created green solar panels using soft imprint lithography to print an array of nanocylinders that scatter green light
