Shadows have become the nemesis of solar energy for about as long as it has existed. Known as cannibalizing, moving shadows can eat into the generated energy of solar cells, causing a decrease in output. A shadow’s effect on solar energy can be so strong that the shadow casts from a stick alone could decrease a string of solar cell’s generated energy to nothing. This has been one the largest drawbacks to supplying solar power. Regrettably, many of the solar panels that maintain to be resistant against shading have proven unsuccessful when it comes to maintaining the production of solar energy at or around full capacity.

However, new technology may have changed the way that we look at shadow’s influence on solar power forever. Australian National University researchers have developed a new design that is able to combat shadows and will even lower the cost of producing solar energy.

Their design features curved, mirror-like solar concentrators that focuses light directly onto photovoltaic cells in order to produce electricity. The truly radical aspect of this design is that even if shade were to fall across a multitude of solar cells the newly designed more compact solar panels are able to maintain power at full power. Though the technology was initially developed in Australia, it will be produced in California and either India or China.

Since the concentrated light coupled with the amplified cell production calls for smaller panels, there will be increased levels of efficiency. This will inevitably decrease the costs of producing solar power. The new design goes a long way towards making solar power more affordable and available to the average person. The thinking is eventually to be able to sell the system for under or around $1,000.00 in most countries, however, this new technology has a short while to go before it becomes mainstream. Although as there is a greater push toward alternative energy sources and “green” living, the accessibility of solar energy to the average household may be just around the corner.

With the increased number of governments financing this new technology of around $1.8 million, support for this new innovative system is gaining. As more countries are starting to understand the possibilities of alternative energy there is a good chance that the funding of this technology will increase in the years to follow.

The global polished diamond markets were a relative oasis of calm and tranquility amid a roiling sea of turmoil in the world’s financial markets during September. Global stock and commodities prices rose and fell like a yo-yo, but diamond prices remained relatively stable, with only a slight downward drift during the month.

During September, polished diamond prices were down 0.5 percent (one-half of one percent) from the average polished prices during August 2008. On a year-over-year basis, average prices for polished diamonds were 14.0 percent higher in September 2008 versus the same month a year ago. The year-over-year diamond price increase represents a modest deceleration which has been occurring for the past few months.

What kept the diamond trading markets insulated and stabilized from the tumultuous activity in the other commodity and stock markets? It is still a closed market, where traders remain relatively calm, even under the most adverse circumstances. Diamond traders are different from other commodities traders: they have a personal attachment to their product, often a result of family heritage. They understand the market and the product. They have a sense of responsibility to maintain an orderly market, even if demand and supply are out of balance.

But, we hasten to note, the orderly diamond trading markets won’t always be insulated from the foibles of the global financial markets, especially if diamonds and diamond funds begin trading on those financial markets. In our opinion, diamond prices would have been whipsawed up and down during the month, just like other commodities and stocks, if they had been traded on global financial markets.

While polished diamond prices appear to have held more or less stable, September was a challenging month for polished diamond dealers. Trading activity slowed, especially among stones in the three-to-five carat range. Dealers did not want to drop their prices for these larger stones. However, rather than take lower prices, most dealers chose to hold onto their larger, better quality stones; they anticipate that in a year or so, prices will firm up.

There are a million ways to create wealth and being greedy is unfortunately one way. It is also a fast way to lose it all again. Dr John Demartini teaches the law of attraction and is famous for his hierarchy of values. One of his sayings goes like this: You might find yourself with more month at the end of your money than money at the end of your month. There is a lesson to be learned from this. Greed is not the way to create holistic wealth.
