Google's Custom Solar Technology Will Reduce Costs by 60%

Google is implementing new strategies that will cut their costs substantially. Some reports have it almost a 60% reduction in overall costs and emissions. The interesting aspect of this is that Google was apparently not impressed by the industry's level of efficiency so they decided to venture into it themselves. They began working on their own product in 2007 and have made great strides since then. They are primarily focusing on solar thermal technology.

Solar Energy Breakthrough Could Cut Costs by 50%

This is an intriguing article that is talking about how a revolutionary solar panel, that is being worked on, will be able to cut costs by at least 50% and increase the efficiency in solar technology. It has a lighter weight and is therefore able to have more precise coordinates than a bigger solar panel. Plans are going well as there are already plans for a new 200M plant in New Mexico City. Hopes are that it will have a big impact on the Middle East region in late 2009 and then spread across the world from there.
