IBM replants chip-cooling tech in solar farms
http://www.globalsoon.com/ html/ ibm-replants-chip-cooling-tech-in-solar-farms.h…IBM has developed technology that will let solar cells withstand the heat of more than a 1,000 suns. At a technical conference on Thursday, representatives from IBM Research’s photovoltaics research will present a method for cooling concentrating photovoltaics, a solar design where light is magnified onto high-performance solar cells.

My First PV installation, production in April
http://blog.alternative-energy-guide.com/ 2008/ 05/ my-first-pv-installation-pro…Early 2003 I installed my first string of grid connected solar panels. Four 120 Wp panels, stringed together and generating about 4 amps DC at 90 - 110 V. Enough for about 400 Watts AC in the full sun. The theoretical 480 Watts are sometimes exceeded in early spring when the sky is very clear and temperatures are still low.

Solar Lily Pads
http://janetmarinelli.com/ 2008/ 05/ solar-lily-pads/Water-lilies do it, so why not us? In a beautiful example of biomimicry, Scottish architects have designed a series of lily pad-like photovoltaic cells that will float in Glasgow’s River Clyde like a string of giant Victoria amazonica leaves, soaking up solar energy and sending electricity to the city’s grid.

Solar Lily Pads in Glasgow
http://www.jgadgets.com/ 2008/ 05/ 12/ solar-lily-pads-in-glasgowGuess the VEIL Solar Shades concept might come true earlier than expected, although in a different form. Scottish architecture firm ZM Architecture will be proposing Solar Lily Pads that will float about in Glasgow’s River Clyde, obtaining juice from the sun in order to generate electricity for the entire city.

The History of Solar Power
http://photo.vdoedit.com/ 2008/ 05/ 12/ the-history-of-solar-power/The History of Solar Power Posted by admin on May 12th, 2008 With the recent rise in energy costs many people have been looking to alternative sources of energy. One of the greatest energy sources (our sun) is readily available for the taking. We just need to be able to harness it’s power.

Kyoto - A Perspective (Part 24)
http://762justice.com/ 2008/ 05/ 11/ kyoto-a-perspective-part-24/by TonyfromOz SOLAR POWER (Part 2) This photograph shows part of the photovoltaic solar array at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, the largest solar array in the US. It occupies 140 acres and has 70,000 panels. It was constructed by the SunPower Corporation, and produces a maximum rated 14 MW which is approximately 25 % of the power requirements for Nellis AFB.
