SunPower Corp. Achieves Record Solar Cell Efficiency

SunPower Corp. Solar Cell Achieves World Record Efficiency National Renewable Energy Laboratory Verifies 21.5% Efficiency for A-300 Silicon Solar Cell SunPower Corp., a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor Corp., announced its A-300 silicon solar cell has been measured at 21.5% efficiency by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado. This efficiency result is a world record for large-area (five-inch) silicon solar cells. Manufactured in the company's Round Rock, Texas pilot line, the A-300 solar cell is significantly more efficient than available cells in the 12-15% range. Higher-efficiency solar cells provide solar power systems with more power-per-unit area and can provide users with significant cost savings. A-300 solar cells use a back-side contact design that maximizes working cell area, hides unsightly connection wires and enables high-speed automated module production. "This efficiency world record constitutes an important milestone for SunPower,demonstrating our technology can be successfully implemented in a high-volume production process," said Tom Werner, SunPower CEO. The 125-mm, single-crystal A-300 cell generates three watts of electricity, providing the most efficient cost-per-watt solution in the photovoltaic (PV) industry. These cells can deliver more kilowatts per square meter, making these cells ideal for rooftop systems, communications, building-integrated PV systems and consumer applications. SunPower […]

Oil & Gas Industry Faces Record Number of Global Warming Shareholder Resolutions

Source: Civil Society Institute, Newton, MA New York State, New York City, Maine and Connecticut Pension Funds Join Religious, Other Filers Focus of Resolutions Widens to Include Smaller 'Independents' Facing Even More Risk — The oil and gas industry faces a record number of global warming shareholder resolutions in 2004, with an expansion of such proxy measures to smaller independents. State, city, religious and other institutional shareholders have filed 13 resolutions requesting risk disclosure and plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with 10 oil and gas companies, 5 of which are facing questions on the issue for the first time. In addition to targeting household names such as ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco, the shareholders have broadened their concern to smaller, independent exploration and production companies, such as Devon and Apache. These companies, the shareholders say — which only drill for and produce oil and gas and are not diversified with distribution or retail operations — are even more vulnerable to regulatory- or market-based limits on carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. One or more resolutions have been filed at each of the following North American oil and gas companies: ExxonMobil; ChevronTexaco; Marathon; Anadarko; Apache; Devon; Imperial; Petro Canada; Unocal; and Valero. Shareholders are […]
