Solar Panel Roof Tiles
Australian researchers are currently developing solar panel roof tiles which will use solar cells which are actually integrated to create a roof for a building in comparison to current solar panel systems which are attached to the roof.The solar panel roof tiles system has evolved from a "low carbon living" project which aims to investigate future energy efficiency techniques and initiatives whilst simultaneously researching and assessing current solar panel systems.

- Co-operatives: a genuine alternative to broken business?
Once dismissed as a little too worthy for their own good, says Simon Birch, co-operatives have emerged as one of the more resilient sectors in a battered economy.
Matt Lane is a revolutionary. He says he wants “to challenge the corporate status quo which currently puts shareholders and greed first”. Fighting, if familiar, talk. But you won’t find Matt camped out by St Paul’s. His revolution happens in the office.
Lane works for the Phone Co-op – a consumer co-operative which is owned entirely by its customers and run solely for their benefit. Providing line rental, broadband and mobile services to homes and businesses, it’s the UK’s first and only telecoms co-op. Lane is convinced that it’s simply “a better way of doing business, one in which everyone can benefit”.
Lane isn’t alone in wanting to change the world. Once considered marginal and irrelevant, co-ops long ago ditched their cloth cap image – and they mean business.
