By America Green Solar Hoping to put solar panels atop the three-family home, this homeowner in White Plains reached out to half a dozen installers for price estimates. Most didn’t return his calls. One looked at a Google image of his roof and told him – erroneously – that solar…

By Morningstar Corporation Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT 600V Solar Controller with DC Transfer Switch has been deployed successfully to retrofit an existing grid-tied solar system with battery backup in Barbados. Future Energy Caribbean, a provider of solar energy solutions, added the Morningstar controller, a Solis inverter, Trojan batteries, and other balance…

The first U.S. production in nearly 30 years of a specialized fuel to power future deep space missions has been completed by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee.

By America Green Solar California has been a leader in energy efficiency policy and programs since the 1970s. It established the first major utility efficiency programs in the 1980s, and the first PBF in 1996. CPUC provides policy oversight of the state PBF. CPUC approves plans for efficiency programs in…

By Wood Resources International LLC Both domestic and export prices of softwood lumber have fallen in the US, Europe and China during the 3Q/15, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly. Russian lumber exporters have had a good year with record-high export volumes, competitive export prices and 20% higher prices in Ruble…

By By DAVE GERSHGORN The camera as we know it is changing: We are already seeing elements of computational photography, which relies on the idea that if you can capture visual data instead of a true image, the picture can be reconstructed with software.

By America Green Solar America Green supports NY states federally funded green projects for homeowners and business owners. NYSERDA has invested more than $350 million in energy-efficiency programs and brought about an estimated additional investment of $850 million, for a total of $1.2 billion in public and private sector energy…

A new study has revealed promising results that could drastically boost the performance of solid-state electrolytes, and could potentially lead to a safer, even more efficient battery. Researchers used neutron diffraction (the VULCAN instrument, SNS beam line 7) to conduct an in-depth study probing the entire structure evolution of doped…

A novel electrolyte has been developed for use in solid-state lithium batteries that overcomes many of the problems that plague other solid electrolytes while also showing signs of being compatible with next-generation cathodes.
