Study evaluates the manufacture, material use and performance of solar cell technology
Solar energy could be a central alternative to petroleum-based energy production. However, current solar-cell technology often does not produce the same energy yield and is more expensive to mass-produce. In addition, information on the total effect of solar energy production on the environment [...]
This study aims to examine the process of development and marketing of CIS technology as a major innovation in solar technology through the case of Würth Solar GmbH Co. KG., which is the first company worldwide to have started mass production of CIS-solar modules. This article reports the development history of the technology and analyzes [...]
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Using carbon nanotubes (hollow tubes of carbon atoms), MIT chemical engineers have found a way to concentrate solar energy 100 times more than a regular photovoltaic cell. Such nanotubes could form antennas that capture and focus light energy, potentially allowing much smaller and more powerful solar arrays.
