As the biggest problem in solar energy case (and whole RES) people often pointing is a cost of clean energy installations. Is there really no way, which can reduce a cost of such systems? Look closer for examples mentioned by us and decided by yourself.

Nowadays there are many innovative inventions connected with latest technology development. Not otherwise sittuation presents in new concepts connected with solar power. Last time we mentioned about solar roadways, this time we would like to present you maybe even larger and more impressive ideas. 

Many people complain about PV energy systems price. Is it really such big problem nowadays? Maybe there is some comparision, which let us to look on this issue in other, brighter light?

The impact of solar energy on the world is still growing. Today we will mention examples of solar energy usage from several places all over the globe. Just look how many things are to achieve thanks to solar technology implementation!

China – one of the world's top economc giants would like to help in development of solar energy market in Poland. Why and how does it plan to do this? Which problems occur on the way of this idea? 

Great changes in the solar energy world continue – news about new projects and increasing solar installations capacity come from every corner of the world. Let's take a closer look into plans of some of the most progressive countries in solar energy investments nowadays. 

Leading companies decide to invest in solar inventions on higher scale. They plan to connect them with strategies of saving or earning big money. You think that biggest players can be wrong in their invesments?

Solar installations – everyone knows what profit they make: reduction of CO2 emission, creating new jobs, providing a new stimulus in technology development, gradual change of course towards ecological sources of generating energy. It is easy to overlook the issue of changes which are brought into landscape, where they are installed. Can we treat solar systems only as foreign elements disfiguring natural beauty of environment or maybe on the contrary – they are harmonious complements of its values? What are other possible ways of using this innovative energy sources?

One of the most common reasons why people want to give up solar energy investment are: high price, complicated subsidy process and uncertain profits from obtaining this kind of energy. Are those arguments right – check it by yourself, following collectors installation process „step by step”.

It seems that changes in subsidies for RES do not only concern particular countries, but the whole EU policy. Will new decisions be a withdrawal from supporting RES? How could it end?

Solar world enters new year with big impact - Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System in California has been ready for use since yesterday. It's the biggest solar thermal plant in the world, which has 30% of all US solar thermal energy and can bring power to 140 000 of nearby households by generating 392 MW of power. It consists of 300 000 mirrors controlled by computer, which is 7 feet high and 10 feet wide. They are redirecting sun power to three 459-foot towers.

Solar technology goes further with every year. We described basic types of PV panels in previous article, this time we would like to present you the lastest invention in PV technology – DSC cells, called III generation of PV cells.

CPV – Concentrated Photovoltaic is not the latest invention in solar energy world, but it is surely one of the most dynamic growing branches of this market.

Third part of article series devoted to inventions connected with solar power usage. This time we would like to present some examples of using solar technology in nanotechnology and medicine.

Nowadays, all worlds eyes turns into ecologic sollutions path. We all know PV panels, solar collectors, wind farms, etc energy saving methods. But is it really possible to design house absolutely inependent from any source of outer energy? Lets think about that and look, what latest technology develope offers to us.

Many people regard RES “boom” as a some kind of fashion, which will end soon. They don't believe, that it is really pragmatic, future and profitable way of life. But, if its not – why such giant and modern company as Google decide to go in this direction?

In this article series we will try to present a couple of most amazing and promising solar inventions, which development can change our world for better. Solar energy it is not only PV panels or collectors, but also those mentioned innovative ideas. Who knows – maybe in future all of us will be using one of them? So, its maybe good time to have a closer look them.

Basically, there are two collector types (in terms of their structure): flat collector and tube collector. There are some differences between them, according to their sizes, efficiency, installation and their already mentioned structure. Below we present a shortcut which helps to understand their specification better.

There are few types of PV panels, according to production material. All of them have their own specific, which we will try to shortly and simple dicuss in this article. We will also mention about latest PV panels technology, called as „second generation”.
