The Solar Hydrogen Education Kit has all you need to setup your own fun science experiment dealing with a zero carbon fuel source! This new educational tool mixes a solar panel and a hydrogen fuel cell to power a small propeller, to help spark interest in the wonders of science. Sure to inspire students of all ages with the wonders and possibilities of hydrogen fuel cells is the pefect starting point to explore the science applications of renewable fuel sources in your classroom or home. This great science project idea comes with all you need to start learning today including easy to understand instructions and an educational CD that comes with a complete curriculum on renewable energy. Not recommended for kids under 12. **The fuel cell generates gases that are very easily ignited. Please exercise caution**
Tony Seba, author of “Solar Trillions” made this video during his visit to PS10 in February 2009. PS10 (Plataforma Solar 10) is a Solar Power Tower located within Abengoa Solar’s Solúcar Solar Park. The PS10 tower has a height of 330 feet (110 m) PS10 tower and has a generating capacity of 11MW. Commissioned in June 2007, it generates 24.3 GWh of electricity per year—about enough to fully power 5500 homes. S10 has 640 heliostats for a total mirror surface of 74800 m2 (800000 ft2.) At the time of the visit (feb 2009) this was the largest commercial solar power tower in the world.

The first comprehensive book on thin-film solar cells, potentially a key technology for solving the energy production problem in the 21st century in an environmentally friendly way. It covers a wide range of scientific and technological aspects of thin film semiconductors – deposition technologies, growth mechanisms and the basic properties of amorphous and nano-crystalline silicon – as well as the optimum design theory and device physics of high-efficiency solar cells, especially of single-junction and multi-junction solar cells. The development of large-area solar cell modules using single and multi-junction solar cells is also considered. Examples of recent photovoltaic systems are presented and analysed.
