Sandia National Laboratories and Texas Tech University commissioned the DOE/Sandia Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) facility today at the Reese Technology Center in Lubbock, Texas.
Nordson EFD, a Nordson company , has developed a non-contact dispense valve for precision jetting of low viscosity flux onto solar cell bus bars. Operating at speeds up to 500Hz/sec, the Square Wave™ 745NC valve meets the photovoltaic industry's need to deposit continuous lines of microdots on the solder-coated metal ribbons that connect adjoining PV wafers. Flux removes oxidation and contamination to improve solar cell efficiency and power output.
A United Nations climate conference in Germany last month reaffirmed a global agreement to keep the Earth's temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels.
Canadian Solar, Inc., (the "Company," or "Canadian Solar"), one of the world's largest and foremost solar power companies, today announced that it has completed construction on two utility-scale solar power projects in North Carolina, with a third expected to be completed in mid -July.
To meet the substantial demand for high efficiency and user-friendly residential solar products, BenQ Solar, the world's leading solar solution brand, announced today that its high value-added and reliable total solutions for homeowners have been successfully applied throughout the United States.
Gehrlicher Solar America Corporation and tenKsolar, Inc. announced a strategic alliance to deliver tenKsolar’s RAIS XT solution to Gehrlicher Solar’s customers in commercial and government market segments.
SolarBridge Technologies (SolarBridge), a leading provider of photovoltaic microinverter solutions, announces the immediate availability of Pantheon II microinverters that are compatible with Zep Solar’s rail-free installation platform.
Talesun Solar USA will exhibit its high-quality modules, produced using industry-leading robotic equipment by Reis and advanced assembly line technology by NPC Group in the world’s largest, fully-automated solar module manufacturing facility, during U.S. Intersolar 2013 at booth #7621 from July 9 to July 11.
For the past 40 years — as far back as satellite records show — the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones has remained relatively stable: About 90 of these storms spin through the world each year, and over the decades, cyclones’ average intensity and maximum wind speed have also remained consistent.
