Yesterday's unveiling of a Solar Lab by SERIS (Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore) which boasts a full-scale facility that tests and develops solar modules in South-East Asia, brings to light the passionate intensity and commitment that powers our sunny isle in its pursuit to harness and adopt #solarenergy. Being the first of its kind in the tropics, deputy chief executive of SERIS, Dr Thomas Reindl affirmed that the Solar Lab has the 'natural advantage' of being able to conduct long-term outdoor tests of solar panels in such a climate.  The Solar Lab is a means to SERIS' end to put our sunny isle on the world#solarmap by making Singapore the global test centre for solar systems in the tropics.

IMAGINE - John Lennon would've approved, for sure!!! A bright future shines for the New South Wales Australian town of Tathra as the community warmly adopts a solar future   It wouldn't be hard to IMAGINE solar communities powering up all over Singapore & for that matter, the rest of the world. Let's start the wheels of the solar revolution turning NOW for a radiant future! http://www.pv-magazine.com/news/details/beitrag/australian-community-imagines-inclusive-solar-project_100014817/#axzz37mRnFPpD

Stars that see the light ... many of whom are also mega solar advocates! Think the likes of Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Daryl Hannah, Ed Begley Jr. (the list keeps getting longer!) ... now that's truly the power of star quality at work. To reduce their carbon footprint, many have brilliantly opted to power their homes with #solarenergy. This commitment to adopting renewable and sustainable energy is a shining example of trailblazing the green revolution. Props to each & every one of these luminaries   http://solar.calfinder.com/blog/solar-contractors/celebrity-solar-power-coolest-eco-friendly-celebs

The future of #solarenergy is irrefutably looking up as our youth demonstate a committed passion for exploring, garnering, adopting and developing solar technology.  Competitions such as the AEC (Alternative Energy Car Challenge) Challenge Solar Prix rouse consciousness and inspire the young of today to reach for the sky and emphatically channel their creative energies in their relentless pursuit of finding green solutions to our energy crisis.  Just watch the video and you'll agree that the future's looking bright

Sailing in space ... powered by SOLAR!!!

Planertary Society's LightSail, an unmanned satellite-like craft known as a solar sail powered by the sun's rays, is scheduled to be launched atop a SpaceX rocket in 2016.

With four ultra-thin Mylar sails, the 30cm spacecraft may undertake a journey round the cosmos and aims to reach orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. This odyssey of discovery will be funded by private donors and Planetary Society members.

The future of Solar Architecture shines bright!

Solar City Tower in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - the Olympic Games continue to push the boundaries and creatively innovate while moving forward in the arena of energy efficient initiatives.

The planned unveiling of this solar PV-pumped hydro renewable energy hybrid is the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. The project is intended to provide energy to the city of Rio.

Solar architecture aficionados can read more about this visionary feat of architectural innovation and sustainable design at http://www.rafaa.ch/rafaa/rio_de_janeiro.html

Creativity meets ingenuity!  Eco-conscious architect/designer Michael Jantzen's inspirational sculpture aptly named the Solar Energy Field is envisioned for use in the desert to produce up to 10,000 W of electrical power on a sunny day for the local grid. It is his hope that those who visit the structure would see it as an amazing apparition or mirage in the desert.  In addition to generating renewable energy, the structure can also be used as an oasis sheltering desert travelers and visitors from the hot sun. Some of the lower panels of the structure fold out in different ways in order to provide places to sit or lie. There are also stairs (leading to a viewing platform) built in under the structure so people can actually climb up into the Solar Energy Field for a better view of it and the surrounding landscape.

For a green investment that shines, just ... look up!

Safe, steady returns as sure as the sun rises :)

Take in the picturesque sights as you leisurely stroll along the Waterfront Promenade in the Marina Bay Area. Pause for a well deserved respite from the tropical heat synonymous with sunny Singapore under one of the strategically situated Breeze Shelters, which incidentally feature solar powered fans!  I'm a huge fan already ;)

A tiny country with little space to spare looks to its water reservoirs to expand its use of renewable energy.

There isn’t much extra space in Singapore, since the entire country is smaller than New York City and fully developed. So when the government decided to install more solar power to help meet the area’s energy needs, they turned to water instead of land: When finished, the country’s new power plant would be the world’s largest floating solar farm.

NASA set to launch Sunjammer, the largest solar sail in history, with hopes to revolutionize near space travel It might not get you all the way to Cardassia Prime, but NASA hopes its newly launched solar-sail Sunjammer program will lead to a future where propellantless space craft are used for a multitude of functions beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. “Once proven, solar sail technology could enable a host of versatile space missions, including flying an advanced space-weather warning system to more quickly and accurately alert satellite operators and utilities on Earth of geomagnetic storms caused by coronal mass ejections from the sun,” NASA said in a release. Additionally, NASA sees the project as something that can work to help clean up the piles of floating space garbage in orbit. (NASA)

The Solar Decathlon was inaugurated in the U.S. in 2002 after an initiative taken by the U.S. Department of Energy. Open to the public, the Solar Decathlon is an award-winning Competition which unites the greatest universities from all over the world to design, build & operate a full-scale, entirely functional solar-powered house.

The U.S. Solar Decathlon has been hugely successful & the word has spread. A European edition now takes place every two years; in 2010 & 2012, Madrid hosted the Competition, with visitors exceeding the 200,000 mark!

The Solar Decathlon is truly a meeting of brilliant minds powered invariably by their passion for humanitarian pursuits. The 2014 European Solar Decathlon will be held in Versailles, France, in a temporary & sustainable micro city called La Cité du Soleil® from 28 June 2014 to 14 July 2014. Check out some of the awe-inspiring architectural & technological accomplishments under the sun!
