Google Develops Inexpensive Mirrors to Cut Cost of Solar Thermal by 50 Percent
Google.org’s research on “Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal”has seen a breakthrough, as the search engine giant has announced thedevelopment of a new type of concentrating mirror for solar thermalpower plants, which can cut the cost of solar thermal plants in half.Solar thermal plants rely on mirrors to focus sunlight onto a towercarrying a substance that [...]
MIT researcher proposes inexpensive solar energy storage system
Eco Factor: Storing solar energy in the form of hydrogen for fuel cells. Thecurrent technology might have enabled us to install a solar plant righton our rooftops, but all that energy is of no use if there isn’t enoughstorage medium available. Currently most PV plants use batteries as astorage medium, which not only is an [...]
University of Arizona’s New Solar Device Makes Solar Inexpensive
Inan effort to lower the cost of renewable energy and make it availableat the price of conventional sources of energy, inventor Roger Angel atthe University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory Mirror Labhas produced the first prototype of a solar device that couldeventually produce energy from the sun at a price rivaling the energyproduced from conventional sources.
