For those of us who have looked into purchasing or acquiring a solar powered system to help with reducing the cost of electrical energy and save on consumption, we know that it can get quite costly. Thanks to researchers at Princeton University, high costs of solar panels may no longer be an issue. Going green and harnessing the power of the...

One of the most difficult problems of solar design is how to use the roof to make electricity, yet also to serve other purposes. For example, you might need to have a green roof for insulation, yet also want to put a solar array on it to make energy. They are competing uses for the same space, while both reduce carbon emissions. In this case, Foster+Partners needed to design a carbon constrained, energy efficient new terminal at Heathrow that provided an open airy skylight to reduce energy us

by Michael Edwards At Green Products, we have come across a product from Cool Earth: Solar Balloons. Cool Earth was created with the mandate of producing electricity using solar power, specifically solar cells. Solar power is not a new concept, but how the sunlight is collected and concentrated is truly unique. The current installed solar plants use flat-panels. Each panel is heavy, large, easily damaged, and costly to repair. This means the cost to produce a watt of electricity is 5-7 times

The multi-Award winning Cascade House by Canada-based architect firm Paul Raff Studio , is a eco-friendly house equipped with solar design systems. We always start from first principles of human scale and flow, and in search of opportunities to engage light and landscape, once we began to work with glass and slate, the house became characterized by a powerful material presence that is activated as these materials come alive in response to natural light.
