White House To Install Solar Panels On Rooftop
October 6, 2010 :
After months of petitioning by the solar industry and citizens, the government has agreed to install solar hot water panels and some photovoltaic (PV) on the White House, in Washington, DC. An effort to put solar on The White House has been active for some time. The SolarOnTheWhiteHouse campaign, organized by by various solar and
See-through layer turns windows into solar panels
September 24, 2010 :
A device transforms common surfaces, such as window glass, into electricity-generating windows. New Energy Technologies Inc. recently unveiled that capability in its SolarWindow. Company President and CEO John A. Conklin says applying the material to exterior glass surfaces on commercial buildings could generate energy savings several-fold greater than today’s rooftop solar systems. He called the
L.L.Bean installs solar panels at flagship store
August 31, 2010 :
In 2007, L.L. Bean, joined the EPA’s Climate Leaders Program and formalized a corporate goal to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) 20 percent by 2012. In addition to ongoing cost-effective efforts to decrease its carbon footprint, L.L.Bean was able to accelerate plans to create on-site renewable energy with the help of funding by Efficiency
Researchers Create Organic Photovoltaic Panels From Graphene
July 26, 2010 :
Despite the fact that graphene has been known to exist for decades, only recently have researchers begun to study graphene in earnest. The reason for the relatively late start into research using grapheme is that the material was difficult to make in quantities needed for research. Once that hurdle was overcome, researchers quickly started to
