Researchers at the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology have developed an optical device that both separates and concentrates sunlight, enabling solar cells to convert a greater share of the sun's energy to electricity more efficiently and affordably Meet The Beast D – an eBike with some of the features of an ATV, plus inbuilt solar panels for charging (albeit slowly). The two-wheel drive bike boasts 2 x 500W brushless DC motors and 60V 20AH lithium-ion energy storage good for 800 cycles. 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 You’d think that, with the abundant sunshine we get here in Mississippi, we’d be a natural for solar power. Although solar energy is much more prevalent in the Western and Southwestern U.S — where they get a lot more sunlight unimpeded by clouds 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 SAN DIEGO — Ice Energy, a provider of distributed thermal energy storage solutions, has announced the launch of Solar + Ice, which bundles its Ice Bear thermal energy storage unit with rooftop solar PV to deliver a cost-effective solar-plus-storage solution. .

Renewable energy technologies have made a clean sweep at Chile’s latest energy auction, with five global wind and solar companies awarded 20-year contracts to supply 1,200GWh to the Chilean electricity market from 2017. The five companies – including Christopher Lord, Managing Director of CapIron, Inc. and an instructor with HeatSpring, recently interviewed Andre Zaffuto, a lending officer focused on solar and other renewable energy opportunities for Bridge Bank. Lord talked with Zaffuto about bank Global expansion of bioenergy possesses serious threats to biodiversity, whereas solar energy could have potential for power provision with limited impacts on biodiversity, say experts. Deployment of renewable energy is expanding all over the world. Hawaii has frequently been cited as a laboratory for renewable energy and these days the same can be said for storage on the island state. Last month SolarCity announced plans for what it says is the first fully-disptachable solar-plus-storage project on .
