In the search for new sources of energy, companies are harnessing the power of the sun and turning it into
electricity. And with growth of 30-40% per year, the Photovoltaic industry is no longer a cottage industry. EMTEC
stands at the front of this growth with introduction of the Photovoltaic Supply Chain. A comprehensive listing of
companies in the Ohio area that design, produce or supply parts for the photovoltaic industry.
We are constantly updating and researching new companies to add to our database. If you would like your company to
become part of the Photovoltaic Supply Chain, please access the Ohio Photovoltaic database and sign up.

The Future of Energy: A Realist's Roadmap to 2050
Alternative Energy : 06/18/2009
This December, when representatives from 170 countries meet at the United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen to replace the expiring Kyoto climate treaty, the smart money predicts unprecedented collaboration. American political change coupled with spiking carbon dioxide levels could inspire a communal project on a scale not seen since World War II. A consensus, backed by science, is emerging among the international community that by 2050 we need to reduce emissions of C02, methane and other greenhouse gases to approximately 80 percent lower than they were in 1990.
It will mean a wholesale reinvention of the global energy economy; anything less could result in catastrophe. Here's how we'll get there.
To reach this goal will require a two-pronged approach. First, we have to get serious about the small stuff: better insulation, tossing the incandescent lightbulbs and, yes, inflating our tires all the way. Second, we need to scale up every low-carbon energy source we have [wind, solar, nuclear] pretty much immediately. ... more
DOE Pumps Money Into Geothermal
Alternative Energy : 06/04/2009
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that it will offer nearly $50 million in funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to accelerate the deployment of geothermal heat pumps (GHPs).... more
The Newest Thing in Old Solar Technology Nets Ten Times As Much Energy Per Gram of Silicon
Solar / PV : 05/05/2009
The next frontier in traditional solar panels is concentrators - devices, usually lenses, that concentrate solar power onto the most expensive part of a solar panel - the silicon. Skyline Solar's "solar trough" design concentrates sunlight without using expensive lenses or complicated robotic armatures for tracking the sun as it crosses the sky.
The entire system is built from commodity parts in an effort to make it cheap and scalable - the ultimate goal being 'grid parity,' or a system that is competitive with fossil fuels as a means of generating electricity. That's why the Department of Energy gave Skyline a $3 million grant as part of its Solar Energy Technologies Program. (Investors have plunked down another $25 million.)... more
