On December 30, a 10 mW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant invested in by the State Development and Investment Corporation (SDIC), known as a 10 mW on-grid solar PV power generation model and concessionary project in Dunhuang, was successfully put into operation. The project is also China’s largest on-grid solar PV power generation project under construction. The total installed capacity of the …
DALY CITY — Two low-income families will save money on monthly utilities after their houses are fitted with solar panels.
New Delhi, Dec 30 : State-run power generator NTPC today said it will foray into the solar power generation business and plans to add an addition capacity of 301 MW through it by March 2014.
Residential solar power is most definitely moving out of the fringes. Maybe it’s not all the way to popularity yet, but now that even Lowe’s and Home Depot are selling solar panels, the industry can safely be said to be dipping a few toes into the mainstream.

Plans are underway for the development of a 25-megawatt solar power facility near TECO’s 260-megawatt Polk Power Station south of Mulberry. A corporation called Energy 5.0 LLC of West Palm Beach will be designing and constructing the facility.
A new company called Chevron Energy Solutions wants to partner with Grand County to begin an effort to bring solar power to Canyonlands Field, the county airport. Chevron Energy Solutions received unanimous support from the Grand County Council during its last meeting this year to start the process.
Tar and shingles are hardly environmentally friendly materials, so the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hopes to soon help homeowners and businesses replace the roofs over their heads with something greener. To that end, the DOE awarded Weidlinger Associates , a New York City-based structural engineering firm, a $150,000 grant earlier this month (matched by a 10-percent commitment from the state) to develop durable hybrid solar roofing panels with integrated photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric materials that harvest the sun’s energy to produce both electricity and hot water for buildings
Nearly 200 years after their invention, and decades after first being proposed as a method of harnessing solar energy, 60 sun-powered Stirling engines are about to begin generating electricity outside Phoenix, Ariz., for the first time. Such engines, which harness heat to expand a gas and drive pistons, are not used widely today other than in pacemakers and long-distance robotic spacecraft . The …
