Researchers in Australia are working on a way to lower the cost of producing solar thermal energy by as much as 40% with the help of shatterproof rear-view mirrors originally designed for cars. That ...
A group of researchers has made more progress toward the next generation of solar technology. Scientists from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, working with Uppsala University in ...
From a distance, the Ivanpah solar plant looks like a shimmering lake in the Mojave Desert. Up close, it’s a vast alien-like installation of hundreds of thousand of mirrors pointed at three towers, ...
The University of South Australia (UniSA) has joined forces with Queensland-based company Impacts Renewable Energy and Charles Sturt University (CSU) to build a concentrated solar thermal (CST) plant ...
A new research paper in the Acta Astronautica journal describes a constellation of mirror satellites to increase the power at the large solar farms on Earth. Among all cases, the paper found SSO (sun ...
Forward-looking: A California startup is looking to space to solve the limits of ground-based solar power. Reflect Orbital is developing a constellation of satellites with giant Mylar mirrors to beam ...
