CSP Thermal Energy Storage vital for utilities and grid operators
The modern age of CSP can arguably be traced back to the 354MW Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) in the Mojave desert, which now make up the oldest operating plant in the world, as well as one of the largest. However, recent developments in the industry will see SEGS eclipsed by 5 projects that are scheduled to come online in 2013-14, with a combined total of 1312MW. The five plants in ...

Customer-sited solar: four pathways to maximize the green energy revolution’s potential
Decarbonizing power generation is pivotal in the fight against climate change. Accounting for circa 30% of global energy related CO2 emissions, the sector is responsible for more emissions than any other industry. Decarbonizing how we generate energy is a mammoth task. Fortunately, we have the technology today to ensure that, with selective policy intervention, power generation becomes the first ...

OPV Solar Trees at EXPO 2015, ARGE OPV Consortium for German BMBF Case Study
It sounds like science fiction: a feather-light solar generator hangs above a public space, its light, swaying form casting a pattern of shadows like leaves on a tree. But it’s real: individual solar cells are suspended from a net of steel cables, generating electricity at the same time as casting shade on the space below and protecting it from the elements. And it’s eye-catching, ...
