Eco Factor: Solar energy harvesting device offers renewable energy at the cost of coal. In an effort to lower the cost of renewable energy and make it available at the price of conventional sources of energy, inventor Roger Angel at the University.

Eco Factor: New technique replaces glass reflectors with a metal one to reduce weight and cost. The world today is looking toward possibilities that can lower the cost of renewable energy and make it comparable with conventional forms of energy....

Eco Factor: Solar installations in large deserts could supply a quarter of our energy needs by 2050. A study conducted by Greenpeace, European Solar Thermal Electricity Association (ESTELA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) has resulted in.

Eco Factor: Low-output CSP systems for individual institutions. In a bid to bring affordable energy solutions to off-the-grid areas of the world, student researchers at MIT have developed a small scale CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) system that...

Solar technologies are used in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants that use different kinds of mirror configurations to convert the sun's energy into high-temperature heat. The heat energy is then used to generate electricity in a steam generator...

Solar energy has an extremely bright future as the risk of global warming and the finishing petroleum reserves will surely sway big giants to think more about the sun. A company in Spain is walking on the road that promises a green planet. The...
