- A Shining Star of Bipartisan Cleantech SupportAmid all the negative publicity that Solyndra's failure has brought to the Administration's cleantech efforts, one cleantech program has received broad bipartisan support: DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-e). In 2012, ARPA-e will receive $275 million, a 53% increase from the prior year with both the House and the Senate s […]
- Once, men abused slaves. Now we abuse fossil fuelsPointing out the similarities (and differences) between slavery and the use of fossil fuels can help us engage with climate change in a new way, says Jean-François Mouhot, visiting researcher at Georgetown University, USA. In 2005, while teaching history at a French university, I was struck by the general disbelief among students that rational and sensitive […]
- Ancient Lake VostokAfter 20 years of drilling, a team of Russian researchers is close to breaching the prehistoric Lake Vostok, which has been trapped deep beneath thick ice layers (2 miles thick) in Antarctica for the last 14 million years. Lake Vostok is actually the third largest lake in the world, measured by the amount of water it holds. In the early 1990s, the Russians r […]
- Alaskan Yellow CedarYellow-cedar, a culturally and economically valuable tree in southeastern Alaska and adjacent parts of British Columbia, has been dying off across large expanses of these areas for the past 100 years. But no one could say why. "The cause of tree death, called yellow-cedar decline, is now known to be a form of root freezing that occurs during cold weathe […]

PV Panels In The Past With Energy For The Present
PV cell continue to improve since their creation. Not only has their efficiency improved, but they are much less costly as well. It will take more than just one Photovoltaic cell to generate enough power for most things. For that reason, the cells are put together in groups that make up modules which are called solar panels. The following will discuss PV panels their past and the future of energy. Continue reading

How Solar PV Panels Are Operated
Light can be absorbed by certain materials to release electrons, creating a voltage. This is known as the photovoltaic effect, and it was first discovered in 1839. Therefore the method of converting energy from sunlight and turning it into electricity is known as Photovoltaics. Photons of light excite the generated electrons and they jump to a conduction band within the solar cells. Direct current electricity is produced. Photovoltaics (PV) is the method by which scientists harness the sun’s radiation and solar PV panels utilize photovoltaic material to create a renewable and abundant energy source. Continue reading
