Some green products have many virtues, while others should be left on the shelf.
Over time, most solar cells degrade due to prolonged exposure to the sun's scathing rays and are rendered useless. But with a little inspiration from nature, researchers have now created a new solar material that regenerates its damaged energy-capturing packets on-demand.

If only U.S. energy policy had the same economic criteria as most startups. Here's pet peeve of mine in the energy policy arena: the lack of ROI and ability to measure success.
Check out our latest Green Overdrive video where we drive around LA in a Tesla Roadster 2.5, which goes 0 to 60 in a slammin' 3.7 seconds. We've even got a bonus tip: how to get in and out of a Roadster in a short skirt.
Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader (D-NV), and a group of impressive speakers populated the morning panel at the Clean Energy Summit at UNLV earlier this week, entitled National Clean Energy Summit 3.0: Investing in American Jobs.As moderator John Podesta said, this was about "trying to unleash the capital that's sitting on the sidelines," adding that the "potential in the sustainable energy mark
You'd put solar panels on your roof if they were free, but will President Obama. "It's complicated," the White House responded when Bill McKibben and 350.org asked if they'd install the panels Sungevity agreed to donate. To hopeful... Read the full story on TreeHugger
A global network of electric vehicle charging infrastructure can only get built out if the money flows. This morning Coulomb Technologies, which sells plug-in car chargers, announced it has raised $15 million in a Series C financing round.
Concentrators for photovoltaic modules may still be a zero-billion-dollar market, but money from investors continues to flow in.Solaria, which combines a silicon solar cell and a concentrator in a single package, says it raised $20 million more today, bringing its total to $65 million.Solaria's technology is based on dicing or "singulating" a standard crystalline silicon wafer and mounting these
Charging stations are being erected all over the country.Coulomb has a $37 million ChargePoint America program that will help put them all over the place. In just two years, the company has shipped 850 stations to cities around the world, including New York City, Orlando, Detroit, Amsterdam, Sydney, and Dublin.Today, Coulomb Technologies announced it has raised $15 million in Series C funding.

It's time for Americans to rise up and elect leaders who will lead us through this transition period to a healthy, economically robust nation, independent of foreign sources of energy.
While most biomass-to-biofuels systems burn feedstocks as the first step in biofuel production, Sundrop uses concentrated solar energy to gasify the feedstocks into syngas that is then made into advanced biofuels. According to the company's website, the very high temperatures of CSP create efficiencies in the process:At the center of the Sundrop Fuels process is our proprieta

The Watt-Lite is a rather inventive form of smart meter that finds a straightforward way of demonstrating how much energy a build
Can solar module producer Oerlikon inject new enthusiasm into amorphous silicon thin film technology, which until now has struggled to compete in cost and efficiency? The Swiss company hopes to do so with the launch Tuesday of a new line of factory equipment.
The braintrust at Greentech Media suggested I write an article on the top ten solar venture capital firms. Even despite what Sanjay said in this article.As I started writing, I realized that the normal metrics for grading VCs -- IRR, quality of exits, etc. -- don't apply to today's solar investors, at least not in any meaningful way. The fact is that very little, if any, of the billions of
I'm not sure what to make of the company I just interviewed -- New Energy Technologies (OTC BB: NENE.OB). And more broadly, I wonder what thinly traded, small-market-cap, over-the-counter traded stocks can add to the advancement of renewable energy markets.For context, Investopedia explains Over-The-Counter (OTC) stocks:In general, the reason for which a stock is traded over-the-counter is
Technologies that help air traffic control systems discern flying airplanes from wind turbines show positive results, but cooperation among government agencies is needed.
