Solar Power In Suburbia

Solar Power In Suburbia 02/12/2004 05:58 AM
Solar power is one technology that has never lived up to the hype - especially for home use. However, a new trend is starting to spread where houses that generate solar power are no longer completely disconnecting from the power grid. Instead, they're staying connected and are getting a refund for all the solar power they generate, giving them the ability to continue to use electric power, if needed, but to use as much solar power as possible to reduce their bills. Still, the equipment remains pretty expensive, and it appears that solar power in the suburbs is still more of a status symbol thing than a reasonable bet for many users.

Spinach Solar Power

Spinach Solar Power 06/29/2004 03:53 PM

If Marc Baldo has his way, we might be using spinach to power our future gadgets. He and other at MIT have developed a process that isolates photosynthetic proteins from spinach and puts them between two layers of conducting material, causing a small electric current to be generated when light was shone on it -- the same proteins that form the chloroplasts inside the plant's leaves, which convert light into energy via photosynthesis. The biological solar cells aren't perfect, as they give up the ghost after around 21 days. Surprisingly, though, they're already hitting a 12 percent efficiency of conversion -- that's as good as many conventional solar cells today.

I predict the biological stability of the spinach cells will increase when married to a fixed solution of olive oil.
