MECASOLAR delivers 3,400 MECASCREW foundation screws to 3MW PV solar plant in Lorca (Spain)
The R&D+i Department at MECASOLAR developed special foundation screws for this project, for best mounting into the ground.
The 3,400 MECASCREW foundation screws were engineered and developed in the plant MECASOLAR has in Navarra, Spain, according to the specific load conditions of th
Hukseflux introduces SR20 secondary standard pyranometer for the highest measurement accuracy
SR20 is a solar radiation sensor of the highest category in the ISO 9060 classification system: secondary standard. SR20 pyranometer is designed for PV system performance monitoring and scientific meteorological observations. It was released February 2013 after a thorough program of acceptance tests
Alta Devices Achieves 30.8% Efficiency Record with New Generation Solar Cell Technology
Alta Devices today disclosed that it has reached 30.8% solar cell efficiency. This new NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) verified record has resulted from the company's first implementation of a new generation "dual junction" solar cell technology which augments the company's "single junction" technology.
Higher efficiency directly translates into more electricity generated from smaller surface areas. Therefore, applying Alta's highly efficient, very thin and flexible mobile power technology to consumer devices can extend the battery life of everyday products such as smartphones, tablets, keyboards, mice, remote controls, and more.
"We are changing the way solar technology is used," said Chris Norris, president and CEO of Alta Devices. "With our technology, enough energy can be generated from sunlight to effectively power devices in ways not previously possible. We are working with a number of customers who are designing their mobile products to increase battery life; and in some cases, we can provide enough energy to eliminate the need to plug into the electric grid."

Solar M&A Deals in 2012 and Into the Future
The continued accumulation of solar project portfolios drove much of the M&A activity in 2012, as transaction activity was strongest among targets categorized as producers of solar energy and EPC integrators/developers.
Solar Portfolio Continues Dramatic Outperformance - up 86% YTD
As a result, of being in this higher risk environment we have to think defensively and make sure to protect some of these incredible profits.
A Daunting Expedition Through The Energy Harvesting Countryside - Part 1
I live in the middle of the woods out in the country in Ohio; far enough out where there is no cable service, no gas, no piped-in water, no sewers, cell phones don't work, the grid provides reasonable power most of the time, and the one analog-POTs telephone line works if there is not too much water in the crick.
Battery Backup: Power When it's Needed Most
Many homeowners want security and protection in case the grid goes down, and battery backup systems are a great solution to bring this peace of mind.
A Daunting Expedition Through The Energy Harvesting Countryside.- Part 2
In Part 1 we examined the energy bank, and the loads upon it. Next, we will explore some of the energy harvesting needs and capabilities.
New solar cell technology improves efficiency by 15%
Three months of experimental validation allowed us to refine the technique to the point we could pursue grant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and submit a provisional patent application.
The Future of Distributed Wind Power
Over the past few years we've seen a real interest from schools, commercial sites, and homeowners. Local and federal governments are also seeing the benefit in on-site energy generation.
Engaging with Consumers
The platform uses unique social media, gamification and other features to drive engagement, uses automatic rebate submissions, vendor marketplaces and other features to make taking action easy, and has functionality to cover the full breadth of utility engagement programs (web portals, out-bound messaging, field staff ops., reporting, etc.).
Taking Global Risks by Storm
Unique, global risks—whether a disastrous tsunami, puzzling regulations or unpredictable foreign travel mishaps—are a formidable reality as the clean tech industry continues to expand. Awareness of these risks and working with partners that can offer proactive guidance and cost-effective risk transfer solutions can help ensure the industry's continued success.
