Publish Your Story at AltEnergyMag
We're changing the way we distribute stories in order to spread the word faster. From now on we'll publish new articles every week or so. The process is very simple. Just email the article (news@altenergymag.com) along with any diagrams, photos etc. that you wish to have included. Length is not restricted. We do all the formatting and title graphics etc. and then let you preview the finished product before it goes live.  Biographies and company links can also be included.

Please bear in mind that we seek educational articles focusing on the technologies and benefits to readers rather than simple product cut sheets and promotional material.

As soon as you send the article we will get it ready and send you a link to preview before it goes live. It will go online (on the home page) as soon as we receive approval and stay in our library forever. It will still be included in our bimonthly eMagazine which is a compilation of recent articles and may be featured in this newsletter.

DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions portfolio of PV materials is key to crystalline silicon and thin film solar cell and module manufacturing. Our products help increase the efficiency and lifetime of solar modules.

>>> Hot Story
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) released the 2009 U.S. Solar Industry Year in Review, finding 2009 to be another year of strong growth despite the economic recession. Overall U.S. solar electric capacity, including both photovoltaic and concentrating solar power installations, increased by 37 percent. This was driven primarily by strong demand in the residential and utility-scale markets, state and federal policy advances and declining technology prices. As a result, total solar industry revenue reached $4 billion, a 36 percent increase over 2008.  The solar industry contributed to the overall economy by adding 17,000 new jobs from coast to coast. The solar industry today employs 46,000 U.S. workers and supports an additional 33,000 jobs in other sectors. >>> more hot stories
