Columbia University is not known as a hot bed of clean-tech engineering research.
But the New York institution of higher education boasts it has built a hybrid solar cell that will heat water and produce electricity at the same time.
The technology is designed to be built into roofing rather than mounted on top of a finished building.
Engineering professor Huiming Yin, who was assisted by the structural engineering firm Weidlinger Associates, says the photovoltaic technology is more effective at high temperatures than traditional solar cells. It also is more durable and makes use of thermoelectric generation technology.
Columbia, Weidlinger and Applied Science received a $150,000 Energy Department grant to continue the work.

I found your website on Google and read a few of your other posts. I have also added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future. Great News !
Hybrid Solar Cell this is a good technology in tomorrow.
Yes, This is a good technology and more quality for new business too.

Hello all! I run a budget tattoo supply business in Los Angeles. Previously I bought all tattoo stuff at really low prices but my supplier got jailed (yeah, hard to believe) so I’m looking for a reliable tattoo supplies firm (online or offline) to buy tattoo supplies from. Here is an example of what I am interested in: Tattoo Equipment. Thank you very much in advance for any ideas dudes! PM me or write me at: triple6tattoo@hotmail.com
I’ve been looking on yahoo for games when I found your site. Thanks for this post, it’s definetly worth reading!
I feel that way often in person and sometimes on blogs — that the conversation is so established I would be interrupting. I know exactly what you mean about that.
Well, the post is actually the best on this noteworthy topic. I fit in with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your approaching updates. Saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the fantasti c lucidity in your writing. I will immediately grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates.Solid work and much success in your business dealings!Thanks.
I really like youtube but yeah it does have some bad points. Like with copyright and stuff.
Yeah sweet post
you have a good way of explaining stuff. I really see your point.
I dont mean to be adversarial, but Im not sure I understand with this. Anyhow, thanks for sharing and I think I’ll come to this blog more often. Regularly I do not make comments on websites, but I have to say that this post really acted me to do so. Really fantastic post. Really fantastic and I will be coming back for more information at your blog and revisit it! Thank you.
Thanks for your comment. I’m not sure I did the best job of explaining the technology. It could have been Columbia didn’t release much information. The fundamental point is the solar cell both produces electricity and heats water. It makes sense because solar cells do give off heat.
I’ll try to be more detailed in the future.
Fantastic Website! I wanted to ask if I might be able to quote a portion of your website and use a couple of items for a school assignment. Please email me if that would be fine. Thanks
Yes, you are welcome to quote from this blog for your school project. Thanks for asking.

Not sure if you’ve done this intentionally, however the colors of your typefaces are extremely akin to your backdrop coloring – it makes it quite challenging to read something.
Sorry about that. Sometimes WordPress does a poor job rendering the typeface for the banner. I thought, however, that the articles were printed in black on a white background. Do you see something else. Thanks for reading the blog.
seems like there are some friendly people that come to this site. Looks like my new hangout!
woohoo!
Thank you very much for this article! I was wondering if I could use this article on my website? Of course source and a backlink will be given to you. Do let me know!

I find myself coming back to to your blog mainly because you have various amazing insights and you happen to be at this a while, that is very exciting and tells me you know a lot.

I have a bit of a difficult situation . I would like to buy myself a new cell and I’m having trouble to make up my mind on which one to select. First of all, i am considering the Nokia 5610Nokia 6500. My buddy has one. It appears pretty durable, and everything seemed good, but then i began looking at other phones. Now my largest problem is choosing between the Nokia 5610Nokia 6500 and the Samsung B3310. All advice is welcome.
Building a hybrid solar cell is not so simple! Great job. Definitely adding this post to my daily readings.
Karoline, Nokia have always made reliable phones. The Samsung B3310 might be a bit more hi-tech and have more features. but if you want a phone that lasts, a Nokia would be the safe choice.
Hi!I find what you publish quite interesting and helpful. I began connecting through Internet 15 years ago but only with e-mail to my overseas buddys and students, three years back I took an on the internet course and got hooked. Your post made me realize that intuitively we look for persons with our same views to share what we know and ask what we don’t know.
Some good points here. Will add this to my rss reader.
Great little quick read. Blogs always spark new ideas in me. I love that!

This is it. as soon as this was introduced to the whole world, only then will the global warming will stop
Very interesting article! Looking forward to an update
wow, this would become a really great invention. It would be a great help to the society..
How about an add-on to this technology? Solar roof air panels can easily provide all the hot water needs and some space heating needs even during an extremely cold sunny day. And they can be mostly passive (not requiring mechanicals).
Interesting!
If this does actually work it should drive huge commercial interest which will mean getting the grant approved should prove to be a cinch.
Music can shift a listener’s state inside moments. It is really impact may be almost magical. Dig out that CD you haven’t listened to in ages or tune on your radio to a little something you have certainly not listened to earlier than.
Thanks for sharing this, an innovative combination of 2 known ideas. One question, is this using a heat sink under the PV layer to, in effect, recover the waste heat created or are they using a semi-transparent PV to allow some percentage of light through to the water layer?
Absolutely amazing fresh and insightful content.
Thank you so much for all this site does.
great post!
I like your articles everything about technology.
Professor Huiming Yin, and Weidlinger Associates are combining efforts on some amazing projects and once again, Columbia University is proving why it’s one of the worlds best schools. Building a hybrid solar cell that can heat water and produce electricity at the same time is tremendously exciting!
good job, hope in the future, we can optimize for using solar energy
Interesting story – Do you write about this all the time?
Wow, having one unit produce hot water and electricity at once is brilliant!
Any idea when this will be in commercial production?
All the best,
Ewen
