Solar shingles

clipped from en.wikipedia.org

Solar shingles

Solar shingles, also called photovoltaic shingles, are photovoltaic cells designed to look like conventional asphalt shingles. There are several varieties of solar shingles, including shingle-sized solid panels that take the place of a number of conventional shingles in a strip, semi-rigid designs containing several silicon solar cells that are sized more like conventional shingles, and newer systems using various thin film solar cell technologies that match conventional shingles both in size and flexibility.

Dow Powerhouse solar panels look like ordinary rooftop shingles

Dow Solar Solutions figured out a way to make solar panels look just like regular roofing shingles. Dow is launching these Powerhouse Solar Shingles next year, claiming they'll be 30 to 40% cheaper than other solar panels that look like roofing tiles. The company said the shingles will be more than 10% efficient, but cost around 15% less on a per-watt basis.

Dow Puts Traditional Panels to Shame With New Solar Shingle

The new shingles use a thin film of copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) to capture solar energy. As a result, the cells which are encased in molded plastic are relatively flexible, unlike their photovoltaic cousins. And while these elements (such as indium) are quite expensive in bulk, they're used extremely sparingly, keeping costs low.

Ceramatec’s Batteries Could Power Your Home

clipped from www.javno.com Battery Powered House Stores Sun’s Energy Scientists have made a prototype of a battery that could store enough energy for a whole house to be run for an entire day, reports the Popular Mechanics website. A small disc is in question that could prove to be the solution for the most efficient and cheapest storage of solar energy. clipped from www.popularmechanics.com The Key to the Battery-Powered House The new battery runs on sodium-sulfur—a composition that typically operates at greater than 600 F. “Sodium-sulfur is more energetic than lead-acid, so if you can somehow get it to a lower temperature, it would be valuable for residential use, Ralph Brodd, an independent energy conversion consultant, says. clipped from www.reallycoolbattery.com clipped from www.reallycoolbattery.com clipped from www.heraldextra.com New battery could change world, one house at a time ASHLEY FRANSCELL/Daily Herald Ceramatec President Ashok V.

clipped from www.tinyhousedesign.com Micro Dwellings by N55 Here’s another micro home concept from the artists of N55. It’s a housing system constructed from truncated octahedrons. Due to the perfect symmetry of a truncated octahedron multiple units can be joined to form larger more complex structures. It has 8 regular hexagonal faces and 6 square faces. When assembled these flat faces also form the supporting structure. The size is limited only by the material’s size and strength. clipped from www.n55.dk clipped from www.n55.dk MICRO DWELLINGS Construction: Door with lock. Windows and doors also function as docking ports with other modules. Detachable legs mounted on hydraulic jacks. Interior with combined table and bed. Truncated octahedra, truncated tetrahedra and cuboctahedra combined.
