This allows them to provide concentrated solar heat without active solar tracking, as well as increased absorbance from indirect sources (such as scattered light in cloudy weather). The method I use ...

The inaugural issue is dedicated to solar concentrators -- a technology that harnesses the most abundant source of energy available to us: the sun. Solar concentrators aim to increase the ...

The world's first 35-year day or night solar contract (ACWA Power's with DEWA in Dubai) also had a record-low price for solar with storage – of just 7.3 cents per kWh.

But according to SkyFuel, a U.S.-based company, their SkyTrough solar concentrator technology has a thermal efficiency of 73% at 350˚C (662˚F).

The MIT solar concentrator involves a mixture of two or more dyes that are painted onto a pane of glass or plastic. These dyes absorb light across a range of different wavelengths, which is then ...

Each GreenField solar concentrator contains 200 such chips laid out in two strips, each measuring roughly 10 inches by 1¾-inch -- generating a whopping 1,500 watts of power.

Devices called oxygen concentrators have made treatment possible in the home, but they require electricity to function, so aren't particularly conducive to regions with regular power outages.

IBM Research and Swiss-based Airlight Energy have created a solar concentrator that looks like a giant sunflower and can produce 20kW of power per day, along with clean water and hot or cool air.

Solar photovoltaic company Solaria said Tuesday it completed a second round of funding, collecting $22 million, and that it expects to bring solar concentrator products to market next year. The ...

Energy-efficient solar photochemistry with luminescent solar concentrators The sun is the most sustainable energy source available on our planet and could be used to power photochemical reactions ...

If solar energy is truly going to take over from fossil fuels, it needs to be hot enough for not only generating power, but replacing industrial processes outright -- and even the 1,049F of the ...

The policy, which SolFocus is touting as a first of its kind development for CPV technology (there are similar warranties for some other solar systems although I'm not sure if they are available ...
