Global solar photovoltaic industry is likely now a net energy producer
2013-04-09 23:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The rapid growth of the solar power industry over the past decade may have exacerbated the global warming situation it was meant to soothe, simply because most of the energy used to manufacture the millions of solar panels came from burning fossil fuels. That irony, according to Stanford University researchers, is coming to an end. For the first time since the boom started, the electricity generated by all of the world's installed solar photovoltaic (PV) panels last year probably surpassed the...

Global Solar Photovoltaic Industry Becomes Net Energy Producer
2013-04-08 15:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: The rapid growth of the solar power industry over the past 10 years may have worsened the global warming situation it was meant to ease, as the energy used to manufacture the millions of solar panels now generating electricity around the world came from burning fossil fuels. Stanford University researchers have calculated that imbalance is now history and the global PV industry could pay off its debt of energy as early as 2015, and no later than 2020. REC Solar employees Brian Webster, left,...

Global solar farm capacity doubles inside 12 months
2013-02-21 12:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: The market for giant solar farms is going from strength to strength, according to new figures that suggest global installed capacity has almost doubled over the past 12 months. The update from analyst firm Wiki-Solar concludes that by the end of the month 12.2GW of capacity will be installed across 488 utility-scale solar farms, each of which boasts a minimum of 10MW of capacity. In contrast, just 6.5GW was installed this time last year at 282 sites globally. The figures were released as US...

Global solar capacity breaks through 100GW barrier
2013-02-11 11:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Global solar capacity has surpassed 100GW, reducing energy sector CO2 emissions by 53 million tonnes a year, according to new industry figures. The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) yesterday revealed that cumulative solar PV capacity reached 101GW in 2012, after 30GW of new solar technologies were installed. Significantly, the figures revealed a shift in the global solar market as emerging economies picked up some of the slack caused by a slowdown in European countries. New...
