Hydro has invested NOK 147 million in shares in Ascent Solar, increasing its stake in the American solar energy cell manufacturer from 22 to 34.8 percent. The transaction is part of Hydro's engagement in energy solutions of the future.
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. today announced that its German solar partner, Asola Advanced and Automotive Solar Systems GmbH, has won a $20 million contract from Krannich Solar, for the supply of high-efficiency silicon photovoltaic solar modules. Krannich Solar, which is one of the largest solar system providers in Europe, will take delivery of Asola's high quality products in 2008.
FUJIFILM Dimatix, the world's leading supplier of drop-on-demand inkjet printheads for industrial applications, today announced that its cartridge-based Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) has been used in the world's first known demonstration of inkjet technology for manufacturing photovoltaic solar cells.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company is providing the key ingredient for this year's California Ag Day -- the power of the sun -- to cook up a successful event recognizing the state's agricultural industry.
The AES Corporation and Riverstone Holdings LLC today announced that they have committed up to $1 billion as part of a new joint venture to develop a global platform of utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.
The University of Delaware's Institute of Energy Conversion (IEC) will receive $3.75 million from the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar America Initiative over the next three years to continue leading-edge research on photovoltaic-based solar cells.
GT Solar Incorporated, a key global provider of a comprehensive range of equipment and turnkey manufacturing solutions to the solar power industry, announced today it has signed a follow-on contract valued at approximately $200 million to supply DC Chemical Co., Ltd. (DCC) of South Korea with polysilicon reactors.
The tennis court-sized sunshield built by Northrop Grumman for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has completed its preliminary design review at the company's Space Technology facility.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has been selected by the U.S. Air Force to continue development of a flexible thin-film tandem solar cell with a goal of achieving photovoltaic conversion efficiencies of 20%.
A cheap alternative to silicon solar cells can be found in dye-sensitised solar cells. This type of cell imitates the natural conversion of sunlight into energy by, for instance, plants and light-sensitive bacteria. Annemarie Huijser has succeeded in substantially improving a process in this type of solar cell, which is similar to Gratzel cells. Huijser will receive her PhD on this subject from TU Delft on Tuesday 25 March.
