Shimkus/Farmergy Webinar Highlights
| Screen-printed Solar Cells In Many Colors And Designs, Even Used In Windows Newly designed solar cells can be screen-printed in a wide array of colors and patterns to allow them to be attractively incorporated into building design. The solar cells can also be integrated into windows, providing shading from glare while generating electricity. The key component of the new modules is an organic dye which in combination with nanoparticles converts sunlight into electricity. Due to the small size of the nanoparticles, the modules are semi-transparent. |
| The three principles of datacenter energy efficiency There are three key principles to datacenter energy efficiency according to Subodh Bapat, VP and distinguished engineer at Sun. He shared them with the audience during his keynote address here at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group’s Data Center Energy Summit, hosted at Sun’s Santa Clara, Calif.-based headquarters. First, there’s the principle of totality which states that an energy efficient datacenter has every component appropriately harnessed to deliver the most energy-efficient operation possible. He stressed a point often noted by The Green Grid: that the datacenter is an ecosystem and for it to be truly energy efficient, all of its pieces. READ MORE |
