The reason for the relatively late  start into research using grapheme is that the material was difficult to make  in quantities needed for research.
Once that hurdle was overcome, researchers quickly [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/07/researchers-create-organic-photovoltaic-panels-from-graphene/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Concentrated Solar Converters Prefer the Shine</title><link>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/07/concentrated-solar-converters-prefer-the-shine/</link> <comments>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/07/concentrated-solar-converters-prefer-the-shine/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:14:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Solar Power Engineering</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Concentrated]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured Solar Power Articles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hot Solar Power Topics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Industry News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Solar Power Technologies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[concentrated solar]]></category> <category><![CDATA[converters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[csp]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photovoltaics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[solar converters]]></category><guid

By John Gyorki, Editorial Director
Solar energy can be converted to electrical energy in two ways: First, with photovoltaic (PV) cells and second, with solar energy collectors that use the sun’s heat to run turbines coupled to electric generators. If you are contemplating either system for powering your facility, you want to weigh both their advantages [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/07/concentrated-solar-converters-prefer-the-shine/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>IBM Creates &#8220;Cooling Liquid&#8221; Which Significantly Reduces Costs For CPV</title><link>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/05/ibm-creates-cooling-liquid-which-significantly-reduces-costs-for-cpv/</link> <comments>http://solarpowerengineering.com/2010/05/ibm-creates-cooling-liquid-which-significantly-reduces-costs-for-cpv/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 14 May 2010 22:46:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Solar Power Engineering</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cells]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Concentrated]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lenses]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Solar Power Technologies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cpv]]></category> <category><![CDATA[IBM]]></category><guid
