Solar Photovoltaic Energy System and Installation Cost in Declining Trend

October 24th, 2009

Solar energy is one of the most preferred way of harnessing energy but still there are some technical roadblocks such as system efficiency and cost which appears to be an expensive solution as compared to other solutions. However, you may not aware that the cost of PV (Photovoltaic) systems had actually dropped tremendously as compared to when it was ten years ago. According to the analysis report from Berkeley Lab, the cost of PV has dropped more than 30 percent since 1998 until last year, and is expected to continue the trend down the road.

Wi-Fi Direct Enabling Wi-Fi Devices Connect To One Another In “Wi-Fi Network”

October 16th, 2009

Just wanna share a terrific innovation for Wi-Fi industry which seems going to put Bluetooth to death. Wi-Fi-enabled devices will soon be able to move content and share applications without having to join a traditional home, office or hotspot wireless network before able to communicating between devices themselves, thanks to the upcoming Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct program. The groundbreaking Wi-Fi Direct can enable Wi-Fi devices to connect to one another in a new kind of ‘Wi-Fi network’, aiming to bring added convenience and utility to Wi-Fi devices.

Innovative Way of Changing Tiles Colors Ideal for Greener Environment

October 13th, 2009

In Physics, we learned that white surface can be used to reflect heat whereas a dark surface is ideal to absorb heat and that is how it has been reflected on the tiles color design and implementation targeted for different seasons and environment conditions. While the white and shining tiles is suitable to reflect heat during summer season, and the dark color tiles are ideal to absorb heat to keep your house warmer during winter season, have you ever wonder how good it would be if the tiles color can be varied based on ambient temperature or environment seasonal change so that you get the best benefits out of them? Good news now with the innovative solution from a team of recent MIT graduates, the color changing tiles can be an ideal solution best fitted to seasonal and weather change based on ambient temperature and material reactions.
