ALEADING academic in the world of photovoltaics is calling on the North East to donate its solar energy data to help give a valuable insight into the best uses of renewable energy. Dr Alastair Buckley, founder of the Sheffield Solar Farm, will be telling delegates at the national Solar Flair conference, in Durham, how the data his team is collecting is vital to help work out how solar power is best used. The solar farm, based at Sheffield University, is at the forefront of efforts to discover the best way to use photovoltaic cells as well as testing new solar cell technology developed at the university.

NINE students from South Devon College were given an early reminder of German industrial efficiency on a working trip to experience how firms install a range of green energy technologies. The party of five electricians and four plumbers flew out to Berlin for 11 days with their two South Devon College training officers, Douglas Cooper and Bill Buckby.

THE latest digital technology stole the show in Milan as the design world thronged to one of the world's most important furniture trade fairs, the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, now in its 51st year. The fair is accompanied by a mass of smaller events across the Italian city. Internet-based "shared design" was the big buzz. It's the newest trend, according to Joseph Grima, editor-inchief of the influential Italian magazine Domus, chatting live on the internet via the impressive pop-up studio of British webmag Dezeen.

IT HAS been described as tougher than diamond, yet it can stretch like rubber. It can conduct electricity a million times more efficiently than copper, but it is more transparent to visible light than any other conductor. Graphene - a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice - is set to revolutionise our lives. It is easy to see why it has been described as the "miracle material" of the 21st Century when you look at how many ways it could be applied.

THE Pounds 50,000 scheme to turn Totnes Civic Hall into a solar energy powerhouse is being unveiled with a fanfare today -- even though there will be nothing to turn on because British Gas cannot change the electricity meter. The 70 photovoltaic cells which have been installed on the hall's south facing roof cannot start producing electricity until the meter is switched over and British Gas cannot get to the hall for another nine days.
..., September 27 -- although it is hoped that they might be able to do the job a few days earlier. A ...
RESEARCHERS from Swansea University's School of Engineering, in collaborationwith Swansea based PureWafer International Limited, have successfully developed a new low-cost solar cell which could dramatically reduce energy costs in people's homes. The solar cell has been developed from reclaimed silicon, a by- product of the semiconductor industry. The cells can be incorporated into photovoltaic (PV) modules, which could be installed on the roofs of buildings or developed into a solar power electricity plant. Photovoltaic technology, which converts sunlight into electricity, is developing rapidly and the collaboration with Swansea University is helping PureWafer's venture into the expanding solar cell market.
