China’s Solar Panel Production to Double by 2017
China installed a world record amount of solar photovoltaics (PV) capacity in 2013. While this was the first time the country was the number one installer, China has led all countries in making PV for the better part of a decade. China now accounts for 64 percent of global solar panel production—churning out 25,600 megawatts of the nearly 40,000 megawatts of PV made worldwide in ...

The clouds are breaking: The financier’s perspective of thin film post-Solyndra
Peter Nieh, Managing Director of Lightspeed Ventures believes that the reaction to Solyndra’s bankruptcy was overblown – as their investment Stion goes from strength to strength. Amongst the doom and gloom of Solyndra’s collapse, a bright spot was seen in Mississippi earlier this month. Thin film start-up Stion cut the ribbon on its 100MW manufacturing factory in Hattiesburg ...

Energy Storage 301: Solar + Storage Economics - Case Study
In this post we examine the economics of solar + storage. Specifically, we calculate the value of solar and storage for two commercial buildings in each of three markets: California, New York, and Hawaii. We find solar and storage are strongly synergistic in all three markets. The NPVs of solar + storage investments are greater than the sum of the NPVs of solar investments and storage ...

Efficient photoelectrochemical splitting of water to H2 and O2 at nanocrystalline carbon modified (CM)-n-TiO2 and (CM)-n-Fe2O3 thin films
Carbon modified titanium oxide (CM-n-TiO2) and iron (III) oxide (CM-n-Fe2O3) thin films were synthesised by thermal flame oxidation of Ti and Fe metal sheets, respectively. Under white light illumination of intensity of 100 mW cm−2 from a 150 W xenon lamp, the optimised CM-n-TiO2 and CM-n-Fe2O3 photoelectrode were found to split water to H2 and O2 with maximum photoconversion efficiencies of ...

How fire can be tamed
Combustion dies at the interface between breathable air and macroscopic pieces of certain involatile fuels. If fed only them, in a compressed oxygen chamber, it makes an almost sunlike flame that cannot run wild. If upon dilution to manageable coolness the ash drops to the chamber bottom, and from there can be removed without the diluent, true harnessbrokenness is possible. Excess oxygen can be ...
