3D Solar Cells Are the Next Generation in Sustainable Energy

The newest technological breakthrough in eco-friendly, sustainable energy is 3D solar cells.  Several companies have been working to improve the energy efficiency of solar panels as well as make solar more economically afforded to install.  One of the innovations has been changing from the flat panel model to solar panels and solar cells that curve in order to capture additional sunlight throughout the daylight hours.  Read more

Solyndra: Optimized Photovoltaic Systems for Commercial Rooftops

Commercial rooftops represent an enormous potential resource for alternative energy production.  In the U.S. alone, approximately 30 billion square feet of commercial rooftop surface is available for PV systems and could be utilized to create in excess of 150 gigawatts of electricity. Globally, this number could be two to three times higher. Tapping even a small fraction of this potential would make a significant impact on the world’s energy needs. Read more
