First Solar City in Germany

Times are changing. The lines of the bucolic horizon with ceiling tiles defining cities in Germany would soon wear a new look: the sun.
If the council of Marburg gets their way, Marburg will be the first city in Germany to require solar collectors on the roofs of legally private commercial buildings. The goal of Fritz [...]

Solar Energy Will Power 10% Of The United States In 2025

Solar energy is one of the most abundant kinds of energy, but do you really expect to get much power in the next two decades? A new study estimates that between PV and concentrated solar power, they could produce enough to meet 10% of the needs of the United States by 2025. Currently, solar energy [...]

Solar4Schools Get To 100th School

Solar LED Flashlight: A Replacement For Kerosene?

In the developed world when it comes to renewable energy, most of the time we discuss solutions related to the electric grid and ways to make this resource more accessible. Without those people who have intentionally chosen to live outside the system, nearly everyone has access to some form of electricity. Not so in the [...]

Solar Energy Will Reach Parity By 2015

We have reported how wind was becoming more competitive in Spain in terms of costs. A report was presented on how the solar-generated electricity could reach parity with the energy generated by fossil fuels in a short time.
An assessment in valuing solar functionality concludes that 2015 is the year where the key point and practices [...]

Video: Parachute Jump From Wind Turbines

The average height of each wind energy turbine is just over 80 meters, so it was a matter of time for extreme athletes to start using them.
Surely these jumps are not legal, some of which require the turbines to be turned off to do the jumping (the turbines loose their purpose) but without doubt these [...]

Solar Energy To Light Up Dark Africa

Legislators from several African nations heard proposals to develop a solar power network across the Sahara, which would be capable to provide electricity to 600 million citizens of the continent which currently do not have electricity.
A representative of Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Coorporation (TREC) said at the Nairobi meeting that the project could even provide an [...]
