The most useful way of harnessing solar energy is by directly converting it into DC electricity by means of solar photo-voltaic cells.
Photovoltaic comes from the words photo, meaning light, and volt, a measurement of electricity.
Photovoltaic cells are also called PV cells or solar cells for short.
The first practical PV cell was developed by Bell Telephone researchers.
At first, PV cells were used primarily in space to power U.S. space satellites. Now PV cells are common in many different applications.
Solar-powered toys, calculators, and many lighted roadside signs all use solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity.
Geothermal power can revolutionize the way we see renewable electricity. It’s the only renewable source of energy that can produce a base-load of electricity 24/7. Geothermal has the potential to replace the world’s entire fossil fuel based electricity production. Video Rating: / 5

Could geothermal power be the future of electricity generation? Robert visits Cornwall to find out how Eden Geothermal are unlocking geothermal energy in the granite beneath the ground.
Their seriously impressive geothermal drilling rig might be the same kit you use to drill for oil and gas, but instead they are targeting clean, natural, sustainable energy from the rocks deep below. This is the first phase of a two well development which will completely power the eco-focused Eden Project making it carbon neutral as well as potentially power 17,000 surrounding houses.
What is really exciting about this project is that it feels like the beginning of a new geothermal energy industry could be on the horizon.

Perovskite solar cells might revolutionize how humans generate energy from sunlight.

First 200 people get 20% off annual premium subscription.
In this video we’ll explore the world’s fastest improving new solar technology, and provide an exclusive peek inside the lab of a team working on this breakthrough material.
Imagine an inexpensive solution of perovskite crystals that can make a photovoltaic cell so thin, that just half a cup of liquid would be enough to power a house. A solar panel so lightweight, that it can be balanced atop a soap bubble. That is known as the holy grail of solar energy. So when will we see perovskite solar panels used for a solar power system for your home? Maybe sooner than you expect.
Currently, only 2% of global electricity comes from solar power. And 90% of that, comes from crystalline silicon-based solar panels, the dominant material technology.
While abundant, silicon has downsides related to efficiency, manufacturing complexity, and pollution that prevent it from being an absolute no brainer. Emerging thin films like perovskites present a bright future. Imagine solar cars like a solar tesla, solar yachts, or a solar plane.
Solar cell technologies can be classified into two categories, wafer-based or thin-film cells. Perovskites are the leading contender in emerging thin films. Topics covered in this video include applications, perovskite crystal structure, working principle of perovskite solar cells, efficiency limits, multi-junction solar cells, shockley-queisser limit, how solar works, solar simulator, band gap, manufacturing, vapor deposition, how solar panels are made, and the future of solar power.
With a PhD in Microbiology and Cellbiotechnology from the University of Alberta, Jim Sandercock is the inaugural Chair of the Alternative Energy Technology program, a two year diploma in Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Biorefining at NAIT. In this Change for Climate Talk, Jim discusses how energy efficiency and renewable energy fits into climate action.
Change for Climate Talks are short and inspiring presentations by local community leaders who want to share their ideas on how we can act on climate change. This presentation was filmed during the first Change for Climate Talks on Dec. 9, 2017.

China is exploring new technologies to recycle kitchen waste into energy sources including biodiesel and methane gas. One facility in Shanghai can reportedly extract about 18 tonnes of crude biofuel from about 1,000 tonnes of such waste.

With fine dust emerging as the country’s biggest concern,… more and more companies in South Korea are going green to minimize their carbon footprint and emissions.
Process innovation and new systems… are helping them conserve energy, reduce pollution, and boost productivity all at the same time.
Yoon Jung-min reports.
In the modern era, companies not only focus on generating profits,… but protecting the natural environment as well.
An auto parts maker in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggido-Province,… is one of the many firms that are now going green.
Last month, its plant was given an award by Korea’s environment minister… for its effort to reduce the creation of harmful substances.
The plant invented a new, automated welding machine… to conserve materials used in the production process.
It also adopted an automated waste management system… to safely handle and minimize waste water.
An energy storage system is used to save up energy overnight,… so that it can be used during the daytime hours.
Since the plant adopted these eco-friendly techniques,… its productivity has risen 32 percent,… while energy consumption decreased by 12 percent compared to 2010.
“Since we adopted the eco-friendly system, output increased in our plant while energy usage decreased. Also, we were able to reduce our amount of pollutant emissions.”
“Eco-friendly management and innovation, not just profits, are becoming more important for sustainable development. By awarding businesses with the green company label, we plan to raise social responsibility in the corporate sector.”
Other companies that have been recognized as green firms include… Korea Midland Power Incheon branch, Korea Southern Power Busan branch, Mando Corporation Iksan plant and a hydro-electric power plant in Cheongsong run by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.
These companies say businesses should be more responsible for protecting the environment for long-term benefits to our society.
