Concentrated Solar Power
More Land Needed for Solar Power
The solar power industry in the United States looks good on paper. State and federal subsidies decrease the costs of solar power system installations even though some of the states have discontinued their solar programs due to budget constraints.
Blythe Solar Power Plant Shifts from Thermal to PV
Developers of the Blythe Solar Power Project in California switched from solar thermal technology to photovoltaic solar panels. This is one of the similar changes made by large-scale solar power plants.
The Heat is on the Saharan Solar Power Plant
There’s a plan to build a 400 billion euro ($569.1 billion) solar power plant in the Sahara Desert. But even in the early stages of the planning there are already some objections to the project.
Concentrating Solar Power for Stronger Energy
When people talk about solar power, they usually are referring to the photovoltaic type. But there’s another type of solar power and it’s starting to gain some ground over its photovoltaic power. This is concentrated solar power, or CSP solar energy, which is the solar energy that’s generated when one concentrates sunlight onto a small [...]
Solar Power Surge Seen By 2050
Large solar power plants can use mirrors to concentrate the sun’s rays. According to one study, these types of solar power plants could generate up to 25% of the Earth’s electricity by the year 2050. The report was made by the environmental group Greenpeace, International Energy Agency’s SolarPACES group, and the European Thermal Electricity Association [...]
Solar and Wind Energy Credits in Hawaii
Solar energy is one efficient energy source which is widely known to produce a “solar thermal hot water” system for heating water. It produces electricity through a “concentrated solar power or CSP” system, or through photovoltaic electricity. The Hawaii Energy Tax Credits give benefits to single or corporate entities. These are income tax credits of 20% [...]
Solar Power: Site Updates
I originally created this blog as a means to update my site visitors whenever I added new articles and information to my website on Solar Power. As the site address shows, the purpose of the website was originally to help shoppers find portable solar power devices and solar chargers. However, its scope has expanded beyond [...]
