The dirt: solar power is HIGHLY predictable. The sun freaking rises everyday, and the hardware we use to collect it has been getting built for decades to last for decades. What this means: Big giant piles of money will pour toward owning solar power assets because...
Solar cell efficiency is not going to stop in the 20% range. It is going to blow past it into the 30’s and further. It seems that multiple layers of materials are the way to make this happen. Certain physics says silicon on its own cannot break 32%. Well, what...
What have we done to deserve these fine people? Base truth – much oil and gas won’t be needed, we’ll literally have this flammable stuff forever floating beneath our planet’s surface. And if you’re a country who has figured out how to...
Hail exists. Its break panels. Sometimes, the solar panels win! Sometimes, the hail wins. When this happens is a known equation – based upon hail size and speed versus the glass that is used in the panels. All panels are tested under the same characteristics. I...
According to local legend – New Bedford, Massachusetts has the highest grossing fishing port in the United States. About $1 billion – and I’m happy to enjoy the harvests of scallops…oh, yes I am. With that though – the questions become,...
A new model for solar power development has taken hold globally – the Solar Park – and with it the largest solar power plants are coming . A great example of one is talked about a bit deeper at the Benban Park in Egypt. Fundamentally – a solar park...
