DuPont, U.S. Dept. of Energy Partner on Thin Film Solar
Thursday, 02 July 2009

Wilmington, DE (Vocus) July 1, 2009 -- DuPont today announced plans with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a $9 million solar research program --- part of the company's overall effort in providing more mainstream solar photovoltaic (PV) products for commercial and residential applications. The DOE funding comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed earlier this year with the support of U.S. Senators Tom Carper and Ted Kaufman.

The three-year program is designed to accelerate commercialization of an ultra-thin protective film --more than 3,000 times thinner than a human hair -- that prevents moisture from degrading the performance of thin-film PV modules, a key challenge in the past.

Solar energy helps power huge ship
Thursday, 02 July 2009
The huge car carrier ship called the M/V Auriga Leader idled at the Port of Long Beach, burning through enough electricity to power 100 homes as workers loaded and unloaded a fleet of Toyotas.

But unlike any of the diesel-spewing, power-draining vessels that travel here, the Auriga Leader sports 328 solar panels on its top deck -- a small array that provides 10% of the energy used by the giant ship while she is docked.

College Gets Solar Power
Friday, 22 May 2009

Parked cars get shade

BUTTE VALLEY -- Butte College recently added some much-needed shade to the campus -- the kind of shade that fires up computers, runs equipment and keeps the lights on.

At a ceremony for the newest installation of a solar array, cars were already lined up neatly under several of the elevated solar panels that bring Butte College closer to energy self-sufficiency.

And there are more planned, with construction starting in 2010
