Magnolia Solar Corporation MGLTÂ announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnolia Solar, Inc., has demonstrated ultra-high, omnidirectional transmittance through a coated glass window over the entire accessible portion of the solar spectrum in its testing. The measured improvement in transmittance results from coating the glass with a new class of materials consisting of porous [...]
Researchers have reduced the preparation time of quantum dot solar cells to less than an hour by changing the form to a one-coat quantum dot solar paint. How? Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are coated with cadmium sulfide (CdS) or cadmium selenide (CdSe.) The composite nanoparticles, when mixed with a solvent, form a paste that can [...]

This renewable [...]
Westinghouse Solar, Inc. , a designer and manufacturer of solar power systems, this week announced that the International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted to initiate an investigation on behalf of the U.S. Government to determine if Zep Solar and Canadian Solar are importing solar products that infringe on Westinghouse Solar patents. Westinghouse Solar contends that [...]
Cyclone Power Technologies Delivers Plans for Solar Engine to Renovalia Energy Cyclone Power Technologies Inc, a developer of the all-fuel, clean-tech Cyclone Engine,announced that it has delivered to Renolavia Energy SA, prototype design plans for a high-efficiency Rankine cycle engine, developed to run on solar thermal energy. The delivery satisfies Cyclone’s license agreement with the [...]
LENS (The Laboratory for Energy & Nano Sciences) has designed a very novel variation to the solar power tower. Most power towers collector solar energy with ground mounted rings of sun tracking computer controlled mirrors that focus the energy to small single point at the tower top. This single point heats water or a working fluid [...]
Early-stage businesses and student competitors vie for $250,000 in prizes The Clean Energy Trust (CET) today announced that applications are now being accepted for the 2012 Clean Energy Challenge, a clean energy business competition supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Cash prizes totaling $250,000 will be awarded [...]
There is a new invention just released that captures two types of clean energy with the same device. These  inovative energy converters are designed to harness both solar and wave energy. Phil Pauley, founder of design and innovation agency PAULEY, developed the renewable power plant in a bid to drive innovation in the search for clean, [...]
Nanometrics Incorporated , a leading supplier of advanced metrology systems, today announced that a major manufacturer of advanced thin film solar photovoltaic (PV) cells has selected and successfully installed the latest generation of the TSM(TM) (Trajectory Solar Monitor) metrology system for in-line process monitoring and control of CIGS (Copper, Indium, Gallium) films. Established and recognized [...]
FLABEG and schlaich bergermann und partner, both specialized in the CSP business, will be working together to make CSP technology more competitive. Since January 2010 a high level engineering team comprised of both companies is developing a brand new collector – the Ultimate Trough®. This innovative collector design has been further supported by DLR (German [...]
Seeks to Ban Importation of Products that Infringe Westinghouse Solar Patents Westinghouse Solar, Inc, a designer and manufacturer of solar power systems, today announced that it has filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission accusing Zep Solar and Canadian Solar of infringing two Westinghouse Solar patents — U.S. Patent Numbers 7,406,800 and 7,987,641. In [...]
Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets: CYPW), developer of the all-fuel, clean-tech Cyclone Engine, announced today that it has received patent protection on its Cyclone Engine in 10 European countries, comprised of Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Poland, Sweden and Turkey. Cyclone is currently working with European manufacturing and renewable energy leaders, such [...]
Legend tells of Greek engineer and inventor Archimedes using parabolic mirrors to create “heat rays†to burn the ships attacking Syracuse. Though the underpinnings of that claim are speculative at best, a modern-day team of researchers at the Scientific and Production Association in Uzbekistan has proposed a more scientifically sound method of harnessing parabolic mirrors [...]
