Even though solar-panel chargers have been around awhile, it still feels pretty futuristic to plug a phone into something drawing power from the sun. What feels even more futuristic is plugging it into a solar charger that actually works: the Solartab. (TNS) -- Dreams that solar manufacturing might take root in San Diego have faded as French solar company Soitec shuttered its Rancho Bernardo assembly line and seeks to sell off related assets, including permits for two local solar farms that never came to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKB) is on the short list of potential buyers for projects in SunPower's (NASDAQ:SPWR) power-plant business, a report said. No. 2 U.S. solar panel maker SunPower's CEO Thomas Werner told Reuters in an interview on I don't know if you've been around the solar system much, but there are some pretty weird things out there in space. The recent news of a UFO named WTF that is expected to crash in the Indian Ocean made us realise, surely there has to be some more Dubai: Solar power for homes and buildings has been made available in Dubai since March. Although demand for it has doubled since March, industry experts say it is still low compared with other countries. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa Solar water heaters use free energy – the Sun – to heat domestic water for homes. They can be used in any climate, and are a viable solution for anyone who wants to live off-grid or cut fuel bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the .

At the foot of the cascade, the building distributes cooled air to the rooms. Then on the other side is a solar chimney, which, as it's warmed by the sun, lifts heated air up and out of the building again. The result is an endless loop of cooled running air. Two of the most closely watched alternative energy stocks are scheduled to report earnings after markets close on Thursday. First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) is expected to post earnings per share (EPS) of $1.55 on revenues of $1.11 billion, while SolarCity TORONTO, Oct. 29 (UPI) --In 2011, astronomers first proposed that our solar system may have once hosted a fifth gas giant. But where did the missing planet go? And how did it get pushed out? Now, researchers at the University of Toronto suggest it was We are immersed in life here on Earth, but life isn't found on the Moon. Nor has it arisen, so far as we know, anywhere else in the solar system. Why do some physical environments precipitate life, and why don't others? SFI researchers sought clues during .
