Sustain the World's Environment

Image via Wikipedia EnSol AS is situated in Bergen and together with he University of Leicester ( UK ) it is developing a thin film deposition system with nanocrystal source which will hopefully help it turn its patented nanotechnology into a working product. Their aim is to refine their PV cell technology so that it can achieve a cell efficiency of 20% or greater. If they succeed, this will be a significant leap forward in PV technology and could revolutionise the industry . Claiming cost effective production via standard “spray on” magnetron techniques, it claims that this technology can realistically compete with existing established PV cell technology, a claim that isn't that far-fetched. EnSol is aiming to construct a world class thin film deposition facility in Norway , based on experience gained working in collaboration with the Condensed Matter Physics group at the  University of Leicester (UK) .

In 2010 the UK government will set up a Feed-in Tariff to help promote solar power and reduce carbon dioxide emissions . The Feed-in Tariff will help reduce global warming , boost UK clean-tech jobs andreward people for installing solar power.It is important the Feed-in Tariff is set at the correct rate. If it's too low the potential for a massive increase in the UK's solar energy could be lost, and we could be left behind the rest of Europe . We Support Solar is working to highlight the value of solar PV in the UK and to ensure the Government sets an appropriate rate for the solar Feed-in Tariff to ensure a clean, renewable future for generations to come.
