Introduction

ERAY ALTAY

Opening text. Writing is a medium of communication that represents language through the inscription of signs and symbols.

In most languages, writing is a complement to speech or spoken language. Writing is not a language but a form of technology. Within a language system, writing relies on many of the same structures as speech, such as vocabulary, grammar and semantics, with the added dependency of a system of signs or symbols, usually in the form of a formal alphabet. The result of writing is generally called text, and the recipient of text is called a reader. Motivations for writing include publication, storytelling, correspondence and diary. Writing has been instrumental in keeping history, dissemination of knowledge through the media and the formation of legal systems.

STATE OF SOLAR

ARCADIA

ARCADIA

Arcadia makes a virtue of its energy-harvesting solar sunroofs (and they were early with them), but others are doing so now. Sunreef catamarans take solar to extremes, with panels built into the topsides, mast and even the sails. None of this would have been possible until recently, with advances in flexible solar panel technology. Monocrystalline silicon is still the agent of choice in most panels, but its energy yield is limited. For the average 1,000W of solar energy falling on every square metre, a maximum 320W of electricity can be generated. Practical considerations mean that around 250W is the best we can manage at the moment. Complex cells with multiple junctions that use concentrated sunlight have managed 476W per square metre, but only in a laboratory.

Research into thin-film technology has seen the efficiency of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) cells leap from around five per cent in the 1980s to 22 per cent today. And this technology has a major advantage, because it can be literally glued to an irregular surface. More disruptive still are so-called Perovskite cells, which have the potential to be 60 per cent efficient, according to some scientists. They can be printed or painted onto a surface at very low cost, but currently have a short lifespan. If researchers can crack the durability issue, Perovskite technology would be a massive step up for solar.
