BT Imaging Raises A$3 Million Series A Funding
Follows is extract from above article :
The current high growth in the world-wide photovoltaics market is projected to continue. By 2010 it is expected that annual solar cell manufacturing capacity will be at least 10GW production capacity and potentially up to 20GW. For the most common (multicrystalline) type of solar cells, the fully loaded solar module costs (as installed) will drop by 50% between today and 2012. In many places this will mean that solar energy will be at grid parity with today's forms of energy generation.

I watched a documentary on them the other day on Austar Anthony.
It is an excellent bound for the industry which has battled with the obstacle of sunset!
They will and have already gone far and may become an industry leader for thier panels in my opinion. |

***The next big thing in solar
While we put the finishing touches on our January 2008 issue-in which we preview some of the big things to watch for in energy and technology this year-there are other exciting things happening in solar energy.
Solar energy faces major commercial challenge in the next few years. One of the biggest is whether solar power will remain something you do in your back yard or on your roof top to supplement the electricity you get from the grid. The alternative is solar power generation that can generate "base load" electricity rather than just "peak demand" for topping up your power needs.
This would make the sun a powerful alternative to burning hydrocarbons for fuel and energy. It would unleash major economic as well as political transformation as the world's energy markets change.
The trouble is obvious. The sun doesn't always shine. When it's not shining, solar facilities can't generate power from its rays.
Most solar technologies involve converting sunlight into electric current through a photovoltaic panel (silicon, thin film, organic, dye- sensitized.) But as you know the minute you walk outside on any of Australia's red-hot summer days, sunlight generates heat, too.
If you could generate power from the sun's heat (thermal energy), then you have a new potential source of solar energy. Of course heat is hard to store, so a solar-thermal solution has to solve that problem too. But there is one company with technology developed at the University of Sydney in the 1990s that is getting a step closer.
Ausra's Six Step Plan for Large Scale Solar Thermal Power
The graphic above from Ausra, an America-based company with Australian origins, shows you how "concentrated solar power" is generated. Using a set of mirrors called Compact Linear Fresnel Reflectors, a solar array focuses sunlight on water trapped in metal tubes.
The concentrated sunlight boils the water, turning it into steam. The steam heat is sto ... |
