US Air Force funds ‘quantum dot’ photovoltaic window project
UbiQD, a New Mexico-based nanotechnology developer, has created new transparent solar windows.
Space-based PV sheets with power output of 1,000 W/kg
U.S. researchers are developing thin-film PV technologies to create lightweight solar sheets to support communication satellites and wirelessly transmit power to Earth-based receivers. A space-based solar array could include tens of millions of sheets, with a capacity of up to 800 MW.
