Ecocrops reports A Solar Panels Use Space Tech to improve efficiency by 50%



Insolight a new solar business has developed new solar panels that offer yield s of up to 29% as compared to many panels on the market today which offer yields of around 17 to 19%.  They are achieved this by using an optical system that concentrates the light on tiny cells, similar to space satellites' panels systems.

It’s the latest in a line of big improvements from the solar industry, which has seen a number of innovative launches amid lowering costs. The startup, which outlined its technology to its former university on Tuesday, decided to use highly efficient cells normally used to power satellites. These cells are expensive, so to keep costs down the team developed a layer of optical lenses, held in place with a frame and covered by protective glass, that focuses the light onto the cells by a factor of 100. That means the cells themselves, which measure one square millimeter each, only take up around half a percent of the surface area of the panel.

Horizontal movements ensure the lenses stay aligned by shifting a few millimeters per day. The team claims its technology can reduce energy bills by 30 percent.

The lens layer can also provide benefits for existing systems, focusing the light on regular panels to boost their yields. Mathieu Ackermann, CEO of Insolight, said in a statement that “this hybrid approach is particularly effective when it’s cloudy and the sunlight is less concentrated since it can keep generating power even under diffuse light rays.”

The breakthrough comes at an exciting time for the solar industry, which has seen rapid growth in the United States. Around 929 megawatts were installed in the country in 2010, a figure that rose to 11 gigawatts in 2018. Installation prices have also dropped over that same period, from $6.65 per watt to $2.89.

Is something bad going to happen to the Stock Market

Jeffrey Gundlach the famed American inventor and business mogul believes that the global stock market is signalling 'something bad' is happening. Why would anyone listen? He has the pedigree and experience to make people sit up and listen. Gundlach was formerly the head of the $9.3 billion TCW Total Return Bond Fund, where he finished in the top 2% of all funds invested in intermediate-term bonds for the 10 years that ended prior to his departure. He was fired by TCW in 2009. In 2009, shortly after his firing from TCW, Gundlach founded Doubleline, along with Philip Barach and 14 other members of Gundlach's senior staff from TCW.  Barach was Gundlach's co-manager of the $12 Billion TCW Total Return bond fund.  In a February 2011 cover story, Barron's called him the "King of Bonds." Jeffrey Gundlach is of the opinion that the U.S. stock market will not be able to continue to diverge from global equity markets in the long-term. "I said [before...

Storms and winter pruning.

S evere weather can happen any time of year, with the storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes becoming more and more frequent at the moment. Trees can be affected by storms, bad weather and become hazardous. This is when trees can become dangerous to remove without machinery. Our entire plantation here at Ecocrops International is fully insured should this ever happen. As autumn approaches we here at EcoCrops International believe that now is the perfect time for you to look for overwintering insect eggs attached to the tree trunk and to look for any sign of pest damage. When it comes to pruning you're normally at this time of year there are no leaves so we can easily see the structure of the tree. Pruning the trees whilst less dormant is also less of a shock to a tree. By doing pruning at the start of winter the tree heals him throughout the spring. Also, winter is a perfect time for pruning because the soil is hard and frozen and no equipment or machinery will damage the so...
