Have such a window, it can provide a clear vision and illuminate the room, can use the sun to the building to provide an effective supply of electricity » According to the July 11 "Science" magazine reported that the U.S. Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers to create a novel method for solar concentrators, this novel can imagine into reality.
Responsible for the study, associate professor of electrical engineering • Mark Bartholomew said that this new type of solar concentrators for use of a coating, in the large-scale (such as a window) to collect sunlight, and then gathered at the edge. In this way, does not require the entire roof covered with expensive solar cells, solar cells and simply Wai embedded in the flat glass plate on the edge, so that everyone will be able to collect solar energy increased 40 times over.
Before the solar concentrators are used for large mirror to track the movement of the sun condenser, and now the technology to avoid its disadvantages. The new system is very easy to create, because reducing the size of the solar cells and therefore reduce costs. The researchers believe that in three years to achieve commercialization, or even add to the existing solar system, but also with a minimum of 50 per cent of additional costs to improve efficiency, thus greatly reducing the cost of solar power.
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of the scientific basis of energy science program manager Alaweida • Gini believes that this innovative design without the need for optical tracking could be achieved under the conditions of the outstanding conversion of solar energy, which proved to be "in a cost-effective Use of solar energy "access to the leading results of a revolutionary, innovative research is the basis of essential importance.

Global Renewable Energy Has Reached 2.3 Million The Number Of Employees
According to the World observation research institutions: the development of renewable energy industries created a number of new jobs, and the world, directly or indirectly, within the scope of services in the renewable energy industry in the number around 2.3 million.
The study estimated the bio-fuel industry in the 1 million jobs around the use of solar heat in the number of posts 624,000, wind-related work for the number of 300,000, solar photovoltaic in the number of jobs around 170,000. The above figures include direct and indirect in the renewable energy industry positions.
Meanwhile, the study also note: in 2006, the German renewable energy accounting for 259,000 jobs (It is estimated that by 2020 will reach 500,000), Spain for the 89,000 jobs directly and indirectly by 99,000, the United States of renewable energy directly Number of 200,000 jobs and indirectly for 24,600.

Xerocoat Anti-Reflective Coatings On The Market Absorption Of Solar Energy
Silicon Valley's high-tech companies XeroCoat, today announced that the company enter the solar market. XeroCoat target in the solar energy collection and use of solar energy field, and to that end to development and production of high-performance anti-reflective coatings absorb solar energy. XeroCoat's anti-reflective coatings solar coating technology, can effectively increase the conversion efficiency of solar energy, increase energy output for solar systems to provide an efficient low-cost absorption coating.
University of Queensland in Australia by two researchers created XeroCoat company, has been the internationalization of R & D team, to optical materials and solar energy materials research and development and continuous innovation will be the introduction of paint application products market, promote solar energy industry Scientific and technological progress. XeroCoat currently has with a large field of solar energy manufacturers signed an anti-reflective coatings absorb the supply contract, this application of paint in the business of the production line. In addition, this field of solar energy manufacturers XeroCoat company will also use other optical coatings and thermal systems coating material.
XeroCoat anti-reflective coatings using the absorption of solar energy plates, has a higher rate of conversion of light energy, especially in the moonlight (an increase of 3 per cent) and the early morning (an increase of 6 per cent) under the conditions. This means that the solar panels manufacturers can enhance the company's product energy conversion rate, improving product competitiveness in the market. According to XeroCoat the assessment shows that no adjustment in the performance of solar cells, the new coating can also improve the solar 0.5% to 0.75% efficiency in the use of.

General Motors Invested 50 Million Euros Building The World's Largest Solar Power Plant
Energy demand for larger auto enterprises now not only faced with the problem of energy-saving products, while also facing the factory for more energy-saving topic. Recently, reporters learned from General Motors, General Motors is about to Europe's largest factory - with an annual output of 500,000 cars Zaragoza plant, construction of the roof of the world's largest solar power station, and to consider the other 19 European Factories also construct a similar project.
General Motors in the July 8 announced that its Spanish Zaragoza factory will be 183,000 square meters of solar panels covered. This project investment of about 50 million euros, the design capacity equivalent to the entire plant a quarter of peak electricity demand.
General Motors and the French Veolia Environment Group and the United States Clairvoyant Energy to build this power of 10 MW power generation project, part of the power plant generated electricity will also Fanxiao to the local power grid.

Toyota Prius Will Introduce A New Generation Of Solar Power
According to local media reports, Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation plans to power its next-generation Prius hybrid car to add solar panels, thus becoming the world's major car manufacturers in the first use of solar energy power companies.
Reported that, Toyota plans early next year when the redesigned Prius hybrid, in the high-end version of the car to install solar panels on the roof, which provided the impetus will be used mainly for car air-conditioning systems.
Prius in 1997, officially on the market, is the world's first mass production of hybrid vehicles. With oil prices rising and people's increasing awareness of environmental protection, the hybrid car market gradually occupied more and more important position.
According to data released by Toyota, as of the end of April this year, Prius hybrid in the world, total sales have more than 1 million. The company plans to make in 2010 after annually of global Prius sales reached 1 million.
