Homemade Solar Panel
A solar panel is composed of solar cells that each converts the sun’s energy into electricity. Despite the known benefits of having a solar panel in the home, the cost had been deterring a common homemaker from considering it.
However, recent studies have shown that anyone can actually build his own solar panel to be used at home by simply using items that are readily available in a hardware store. Although most commercially manufactured solar cells are made from intricately

Solar Energy Facts
SOLAR ENERGY FACTS
The growing interest in utilizing solar energy as an alternative to the increasing cost of electric energy has made a lot of people try to make their own way of “harvesting” solar power for their household consumption. Generally, solar energy is one of the most obvious alternative sources of energy. Of course, it is also better for the environment compared to the traditional sources of energy. Unprocessed, solar energy can be used directly for drying and other similar

Argentina Looks to Wind for the Answer to its Energy Woes
In 2004, Argentina received a wake up call. The Latin American nation experienced a deep energy crisis as a result of a shortage in natural gas caused by the demand for energy skyrocketing and outstripping supply. Since then the country has made a conscious effort to diversify its energy sources, with wind power attracting particular

What is "Clean Energy," President Obama?
President Barack Obama has launched what is to be a new era of clean energy development in the U.S., announcing that this could be a “Sputnik moment.” During the Jan. 25 State of the Union address, he urged Americans to rally around a new goal: Obtaining 80 percent of America's electricity from clean energy sources by 2035.While to some, Obama’s announcement means the accelerated growth of renewable energy, “clean energy” can be broadly defined.

Offshore wind turbine permits go through teething problems
"Denmark was leading in terms of offshore wind policies in Europe, but recently the UK has over taken as a result of its "rounds" system. This has proved very efficient at bringing a large number of projects online very quickly," says Morten Holmager, renewables manager at Offshore Centre
Vertical supply chain integration gathers pace in the offshore wind sector

Offshore Wind Power - Global Capacity, Equipment Market Share, Technological Roadmap, Cost Analysis and Regulatory Framework to 2020
Global Energy Industry
The population of the world has been increasing at a rapid pace in the last few decades and this has lead to an increase in demand for a number of resources like water, food and energy. The population of the world doubled from 3.2 billion in 1962 to 6.4 billion in 2005 and is forecast to reach 9.2 billion in 2050. Natural resources such as coal, oil and gas are fast depleting and the fear of climate change is putting pressure on the energy sector to move away from

HOW TO MAKE A SOLAR PANEL
Considering the high cost of almost everything a home needs, utilizing the readily available and free energy of the sun through solar panels could be something that every homemaker would want. However, not everyone is knowledgeable about how to make a solar panel without shedding too much of his hard earned money out.
All over the internet, one can find almost in a second many sellers of solar cells which are responsible for converting the sun’s energy into electricity because of

The Wind Industry Blows Steadily Over to Asia
With demand for power down, natural gas prices low and project financing still tight, it's no surprise that the U.S. wind market declined in 2010. The official numbers aren't out yet, but it looks like 5 gigawatts (GW) were installed in the country last year. That's half of what was installed in

Microalgae at NREL
Prospecting for elusive fast-growing, oily microalgae is a soggy, muddy, rewarding job for NREL researcher Lee Elliott. Not only do algae grow in unlikely settings, but their ability to convert the light they receive into biomass has the potential to outperform that of land plants. Trees, grasses and shrubs typically are not very efficient in capturing and converting the sun's energy into biomass, but some algae are believed to be capable of much higher efficiencies, with some scientists
