The company was reincorporated in 1937 as the Solar Aircraft Company, dropping the "Ltd" from its name. [8] By 1939, Solar Aircraft Company had a work force of 229. [ 9 ] Military orders during World War II led to rapid expansion and by the end of the war the company had a workforce of 5,000, largely part of a massive effort to build more than ...
The BAE Systems Persistent High Altitude Solar Aircraft (PHASA-35) is a High-Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by BAE Systems in collaboration with Prismatic. Designed as a cheaper alternative to satellites, the aircraft can be used for surveillance , border control , communications and disaster relief with ...
The Boulder Solar project is a 150 megawatt (MW AC) photovoltaic power station near Boulder City, Nevada. It was built in two phases by SunPower using its Oasis Power Plant system. [ 1 ] The project is co-located with several other large solar power projects in the Eldorado Valley .
The Boeing SolarEagle (Vulture II) was a proposed High-Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicle solar-electric spy plane developed by Boeing Phantom Works. [1] The proposed aircraft had a wingspan of 393.7 feet (120.0 meters), and was intended to remain airborne for up to five years at a time without needing to land. [2]
Abound Solar was a manufacturer of cadmium telluride modules–a thin-film photovoltaic technology–based in the United States. [1] It operated a production facility in Longmont, Colorado . The company was incorporated as AVA Solar in 2007 and was rebranded as Abound Solar in March 2009.
In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices.
Early bifacial solar cells at IES-UPM (late 1970s). A single BSC with its rear side reflected in mirrored walls. A silicon solar cell was first patented in 1946 by Russell Ohl when working at Bell Labs and first publicly demonstrated at the same research institution by Calvin Fuller, Daryl Chapin, and Gerald Pearson in 1954; however, these first proposals were monofacial cells and not designed ...
