BP Solar's Paranhos Solar Project
Learn more about BP Solar's Paranhos Solar Panel Project in Angola, where solar
panels are bringing useful energy to a war-torn village of 360 people living in poverty.
Space-Based Solar Power
Using advanced solar panels in outer space, it may one day be economically feasible (or even necessary) to beam the
sun's seemingly infinite power supply back to Earth for general consumption. Click to read more about
space-based solar power efforts and the driving forces behind them.
Solar Tower of Power gets the Green Light
Enviromission's planned 1 kilometer-high solar tower
of power will soon be the largest man-made structure in the world. This magnificient and ambitious solar project is
finally getting underway in Austrailia.
