Panasonic has launched an ambitious project: eclipse live from Fujiyama by solar power. The aim of this project is to raise awareness of renewable energies.

On May 20, the company will broadcast the solar eclipse live from Mount Fujiyama and stream the broadcast online. The unique aspect is that the electricity used to power the filming and broadcast of the eclipse will be provided solely by solar power.

Panasonic has launched a website counting down to the eclipse as well as a facebook page, documenting the project’s progress.

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
