Solar Power Towers
Another innovation that implements solar energy is the solar power towers or also called heliostat power plants. A solar power tower is using a large solar setup that converts energy from the sun. Solar power towers don’t use conventional solar panels but instead use concrete towers and a large number […]
Driving Photovoltaics – Solar cars
With the huge interest in renewable and sustainable energy, many automotive developers are working on solar cars, a technology that can change the future of the automotive industry. Solar cars are a type of electric cars that are covered with photovoltaic cells which convert the solar energy into electricity. They […]
Green and Sustainable Buildings – A Change to Modern Architecture
The rise in innovation technology resulted with the creation of new building design concepts that are more sustainable and energy efficient. Terms like ´Sustainable Building´, ´Energy Efficient Building´ and ´Green Building´ are more and more used to describe the modern building, the building of the future. A green, energy efficient […]
Are Building-Integrated Photovoltaics a Good Idea?
Building-Integrated Photovoltaics or BIPV for short, are photovoltaic modules that are integrated into the building envelope as part of the design, be it either the roof or the façade. The BIPV serve a double function – they act as conventional building materials and also serve their original purpose – power […]
