Executive Summary about BP Solar by Richard Chapo
British Petroleum was once known for their petroleum products. How times have changed. BP is now one of the biggest producers of solar products.
In recent years, Google invest in green energy sector seriously. More than US$ 250 million invested by this company and there is no clear information about why the company’s biggest search engine in the world invest in this sector in addition to its commitment to encourage and develop green energy more quickly.
Google company may not only “simply” investing. The company has a team that is able to analyze and predict the future of this sector.
This time Google reinvest US$ 168 million in a solar thermal power plant located in the Mojave Desert, southeastern California, USA.
University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering has discovered a transparent, flexible and lightweight solar panel, and most important, was cheaper than any other.
Executive Summary about Solar Roof By Dan A Swanson
The advancements in solar technology has helped in creating more efficient and light weight solar cells that make solar roof panels a more practical choice for the ordinary households. Solar cells of the solar roof panels are able to convert sunlight into solar energy which can be used for providing electrical energy to your home.
These solar shingles or solar roof panels are meant to replace the regular shingles of your home, thus providing a waterproof coverage to your home and also generating electrical power as an added advantage. As far as their installation is concerned, a solar roof panel is easiest to install.
Advanced solar technology is able to produce solar cells that can produce 20% efficiency, as compared to 7-10% produced by older cells.
The different kinds of solar roof panels are the traditional types, advanced types and compact types while the best ones are light weight panels which are less expensive, smaller in size and still capture sufficient amount of energy every day.
Benefits of a Solar Roof Panel
Executive Summary about Solar Roof By Eben Jaimes
With the high cost of living, more and more people are turning to renewable energy generation for their homes. One of the main sources of renewable energy, that seems to be the most popular, is having a solar roof panel installed on your home.
Having a solar roof panel is an extremely efficient supplier of energy. This means that the utility companies have to pay you. You will be happy to know that by generating electricity from a solar roof panel, you will help reduce greenhouse gas emission. A simple 3kW solar system reduces carbon dioxide emissions very close to the amount of carbon dioxide emissions given off by a passenger car traveling 8,000 miles per year.
Also, with a solar roof panel, you can think long term. Almost all of the satellites that orbit the earth are powered by solar energy. As a special benefit, a solar roof panel system is eligible for a $2,000 federal tax credit. If you happen to live in California, the California Solar Initiative (CSI), offers an up-front rebate.

Executive Summary about Nanosolar by nanosolar.com -MICHAEL MOYER
Imagine a solar panel without the panel. Just a coating, thin as a layer of paint, that takes light and converts it to electricity. From there, you can picture roof shingles with solar cells built inside and window coatings that seem to suck power from the air.
Cost has always been one of solar’s biggest problems. Traditional solar cells require silicon, and silicon is an expensive commodity (exacerbated currently by a global silicon shortage). That means even the cheapest solar panels cost about $3 per watt of energy they go on to produce.
Nanosolar’s cells use no silicon, and the company’s manufacturing process allows it to create cells that are as efficient as most commercial cells for as little as 30 cents a watt. “It really is quite a big deal in terms of altering the way we think about solar and in inherently altering the economics of solar.”
In San Jose, Nanosolar has built what will soon be the world’s largest solar-panel manufacturing facility. California, for instance, recently launched the Million Solar Roofs initiative, which will provide tax breaks and rebates to encourage the installation of 100,000 solar roofs per year, every year, for 10 consecutive years (the state currently has 30,000 solar roofs). The company is ready for the solar boom.
NANOSOLAR: Solar-cell Coating
Executive Summary about Nanosolar by Silicon Valley
Solar panels are big, clunky, heavy, require special installation, and, if they break, replacing them can be quite expensive.
The PowerSheet is made from a layer of solar-absorbing nano-ink that is printed onto a foil-thin metal sheet.
Because of the ever-increasing costs of energy and the obvious environmental impact of burning up fossil fuels, turning to alternative energy sources such as solar energy is a priority.
