We’re just Dying to meet you!
Just when you think a new solar technology is years away, up pops a company showing a product off, which then keeps all of the engineering groups in competitive companies working 24/7!
Third generation thin-film solar technology has been on the horizon for almost two decades with a number of [...]
Do you have an e-reader? I don’t yet, but its going on my Christmas list. Studies have shown that devices like the Amazon Kindle have a significantly lower environmental impact, compared with traditional book publishing. But, there is room for improvement.

If you are interested in installing solar panels on your roof, there are a number of options. One of the most recent innovations are solar roof tiles. These look just like the real thing, but they help deliver clean, green solar energy to your home, without the need for bulky solar panels.
These tiles are perfect [...]
The photovoltaic (PV) industry is on the verge of expanding into something really big… er… small. Miniature PV cells are being developed to be used just about anywhere sunlight may strike – from fabric to windows to automobiles.
Thin film solar panels can truly offer solar energy to go!
They are so tiny and flexible, the hope [...]
Do you want to go solar, but don’t like the look of panels? Consider solar roof shingles instead! Also known as solar roof tiles, solar shingles look just like regular asphalt roofing material. The secret is they are covered with thin film photovoltaic (PV) material, which operates just like solar panels.
The shingles absorb ultraviolet light [...]
