Success of cadmium telluride PV has been due to the low cost achievable with the CdTe technology, made possible by combining adequate efficiency with lower module area costs. Direct manufacturing cost for CdTe PV modules reached $0.57 per watt in 2013, and capital cost per new watt of capacity was about $0.9 per watt (including land and buildings) in 2008.

Monument to the Sun or The Greeting to the Sun (: Pozdrav suncu) is a monument in , Croatia dedicated to the Sun. It consists of a 22-meter diameter circle representing the Sun, with three hundred, multi-layered glass plates placed on the same level as the stone-paved waterfront, with solar modules underneath. Lighting elements installed in the circle turn on at.

The advantage of redox-flow batteries in general is the separate scalability of power and energy, which makes them good candidates for stationary energy storage systems. This is because the power is only dependent on the stack size while the capacity is only dependent on the electrolyte volume. As the electrolyte is based on water, it is non-flammable. All electrolyte components are non-tox.
