It almost seems too obvious that the way to increase photovoltaic panel efficiency is to amplify or magnify the sun’s rays. Concentrating solar energy, however, is not as simple as one might think; ...

New experiments by swiss researchers have show that industrial-relevant temperatures of 1,050°C can be generated from solar concentrators. Solar power for industrial heat would be able to decarbonize ...

In this video we dive into compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) and their incredible ability to focus light from multiple input angles onto a central target at once. This allows them to provide ...

This release is available in German. Climate change and ever scarcer fossil resources will determine the energy mix of the future. Solar energy will play an integral role in this regard. Dr. Andreas ...

IBM Research and Switzerland-based Airlight Energy today announced a new parabolic dish that increases the sun’s radiation by 2,000 times while also producing fresh water and air conditioning. The new ...

SolFocus, a solar company with roots at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Park, said that it closed $25 million in financing that it will use to increase production of its solar concentrator technology.
