  • Manufacturing GS-Solar's PV Modules

    A critical issue for successful commercialization of complex thin film solar technology is the ability to transfer technology that is demonstrated in the laboratory and in pilot production into high throughput, high efficiency and highly reliable module production. The foundation for GS-Solar’s thin...

  • GS-Solar Amorphous Silicon Solar Modules

    Unlike traditional crystalline silicon solar modules, GS-Solar thin film amorphous silicon modules are able to deliver competitive power output using significantly less semiconductor material and can therefore be manufactured at a relatively low cost per watt. Amorphous silicon modules also perform well...

  • Westech Solar Integrative Controller

    The operation of a Westech solar collector is as follows: Solar radiation is absorbed by the evacuated tubes and converted into heat. Heat pipes conduct the heat from within the solar tube up to the header. Water is circulated through the header via intermittent pump cycling. Each time it circulates...

  • Westech Solar Collector Systems

    The Westech Evacuated Tube Solar Collector is a device that absorbs thermal energy from the sun and converts it into usable heat. The heat is normally absorbed by water, or a freeze resistant water mix, which can then be used to supplement hot water heating, space heating and even space cooling via use...

  • Westech Evacuated Tube Solar Collector

    If you’ve ever used a glass lined thermos, you know that a vacuum is an excellent insulator. Evacuated tubes absorb solar energy and convert it into heat for use in water heating. The insulation properties are such that while the inside of the tube may be up to 300° F, the outer surface is cold to the...

  • Solar Decathlon Refract House - Part 2

    We continue our interview with Preet Anand about the Refract House, which uses a holistic and environmentally conscious design to produce a contemporary architectural solution using highly efficient and sustainable systems and materials. The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2009 combines the...

  • Solar Decathlon Refract House - Part 1

    For three weeks in October 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy will host the Solar Decathlon—a competition in which 20 teams of college and university students compete to design, build, and operate the most attractive, effective, and energy-efficient solar-powered house. Engineering TV talks with Santa...

  • SolarMagic Power Optimizer

    When it comes to solar energy, the power of the solar array is only as strong as the weakest-performing panel. And in real-world conditions, where shade is common from sources like trees, chimneys, power lines and even bird droppings, solar efficiency can be decreased significantly. In fact, as little...

  • Drake Landing Solar Community

    The Drake Landing Solar Community is a 52-home subdivision that uses the sun's energy to supply 90% of space heating and up to 70% of domestic hot water needs. The system uses 800 commercial solar collectors in conjunction with seasonal storage to store the sun's energy during the summer, and...

  • Commercial Solar Water Heating Systems

    EnerWorks Rob Singlehurst describes their commercial Solar Water Heating systems and some recent case studies where these systems have been implemented. EnerWorks designs and manufactures solar heating equipment and solar collectors for commercial, industrial and residential use and provides solar water...
