Wuxi Suntech announced today that the company will showcase two recent, and one upcoming, product lines in California next week at Solar Power International (SPI) 2015. The conference, recognized as one of the leading North American solar events, affords Suntech the opportunity to introduce its upgraded SuperPoly modules, boasting a 100 MW manufacturing capacity, and the high efficiency HyPro line featuring PERC technology, to the burgeoning US solar market. In addition, Suntech's 1,500V high system voltage module, to be launched in October, will be on display at SPI.
SunEdison, Inc. (SUNE), the largest global renewable energy development company, in partnership with BITHENERGY, a leading solar developer, today announced that Columbia, Md. is now offsetting 100 percent of its energy use from renewable sources. Columbia now sources 75 percent of its energy from wind renewable energy credits, and 25 percent from a newly completed two megawatt (MW) DC solar farm in SunEdison and BITHENERGY's Nixon Farm solar project in West Friendship, Md.
Burning all of the world's available fossil-fuel resources would result in the complete melting of the Antarctic ice sheet, a new study to be published in Science Advances shows. The Antarctic ice masses store water equivalent to more than 50 meters of sea-level rise.
Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd. ("Hanwha Q CELLS" or the "Company") one of the world's largest providers of high quality, high efficiency photovoltaic modules and solutions, announced today that it will give insight into the next level of its high efficiency Q.ANTUM technology at this year's Solar Power International (SPI) trade fair in Anaheim, California from September 15-17.
This Saturday at a conference in Quebec, Canada an international research team will present the first online data portal on global permafrost. In the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost researchers first collect all the existing permafrost temperature and active thickness layer data from Arctic, Antarctic and mountain permafrost regions and then make it freely available for download.
Seraphim Solar Manufacturing USA, Inc. (hereafter referred to as "Seraphim USA"), an extension of one of the industry's highest-ranked global integrated providers of photovoltaic (PV) products; announced that its new solar factory in Jackson, Mississippi is scheduled to commence trial operation.
Hanwha Q CELLS USA, an international solar developer and solutions provider, announces the sale of 33 megawatts of utility scale solar in Panama. Hanwha Q CELLS USA is joined by development partners Renventure (local partner), SEMI (Engineering, Procurement and Construction), ASEP (Panama public service agency), ANAM (Panama environmental authority), and EDEMET (transmission company).
Kirigami - a Japanese paper cutting art - has inspired researchers from the University of Michigan to develop solar cells that can track the sun, trapping as much as 36% more energy than stationary cells.

Wind power is attracting more and more interest. In Sweden it’s the third largest source of electricity. But research is facing some challenges: How can turbines interact with each other and how do you prevent neighbouring wind power parks from “stealing” energy from each other.
Northrop Grumman Corporation announced that its Palmdale Aircraft Integration Center of Excellence (PAI CoE), within its Aerospace Systems sector, received the Silver level Zero Waste certification from the U.S. Zero Waste Business Council (USZWBC). This award is significant in that the site is the first aerospace production and manufacturing facility in the U.S. to receive this honor.
One of the biggest ever citizen science projects needs volunteers from Manchester to help measure air pollution in our environment. And all you need to take part is a smart phone.
Scientists have developed a new hybrid, solar-energy system that harnesses the full spectrum of the sun's radiation by pairing a photovoltaic cell with polymer films. The films convert the light that goes unused by the solar cell into heat and then converts the heat into electricity. They report on their device, which produces a voltage more than five times higher than other hybrid systems, in the journal ACS Nano.
These days, more and more people are striving to build energy-efficient new homes or are simply looking to make their current homes more energy-efficient. Fortunately, one company, NexPower, is providing these people with a wide range of green solutions, thanks to its energy-efficient, affordable, and stylish solar glass.
University of Arkansas researchers have received a grant to develop the first multicentury tree-ring chronologies in the Amazon River basin to help build a historical record of climate change in one of the most ecologically diverse areas on Earth.
Carbon is money. Nowhere is this more evident than in our dependence on hydrocarbons in the form of fossil fuels. Scientists and engineers have been grappling with the question of what alternate carbon sources are available when our demand for fossil fuels eventually outstrips our supply. This challenge has provided motivation to use expertise and equipment available at EMSL, the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, to create technologies that use sustainable carbon sources from biomass.
