How micro-converters and power optimizers help solar panels make hay when the sun doesn’t shine Updated On Fri, May 20th, 2016 by Saurenergy Everybody wants to get maximum benefit out of their purchase. And the want applies only too well for solar panels. Producing electricity using unconventional sources like sun, wind, geothermal or biogas hasn’t been an easy task. Apart from innovating on surface materials that converts these kinds of sources into electric current, there’s a host of […] Read more
This new material keeps solar cells cool while still catching lights Updated On Mon, May 9th, 2016 by Saurenergy Solar cells capture sunlight and turn it into electricity, but most of the surplus energy turns into heat, which actually harms the solar cell and interestingly solar cells are only about 20 percent efficient. Researchers at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, USA have come out with a technology to keep the solar cells cool. The […] Read more
SELF AUTONOMY – THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR STREETLIGHTS Updated On Thu, May 5th, 2016 by Saurenergy INTRODUCTION: Solar street lighting is a wireless solution with the potential to be the global technology of choice for all the outdoor lighting requirements. One of the key requirements in these streetlights is the need for autonomy or light functionality on cloudy days. The most prevalent solution which also comes with inherent limitations is based […] Read more
ABB and Solar Impulse proves clean energy future is achievable Updated On Mon, Apr 18th, 2016 by Saurenergy Solar Impulse flying halfway around the world on solar energy, has already proved that it is possible to produce a stable, 24/7 electricity supply using only renewable energy. On the ground, ABB is helping remote communities and islands like Hawaii to meet and sustain their own energy needs by incorporating renewable and clean energy technologies […] Read more
Indian Banks edgy, as Solar Companies fails to deliver Updated On Thu, Apr 14th, 2016 by Saurenergy What could make Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plans of capitalizing $100 billion of solar power from foreign investments edgy? Indeed, an In-Flow and Out-Flow leeway of Investment and Finance. The global renowned US Company, SunEdison standstill on at least $1.4 billion of loans and credit facilities, is seeking to sell as much as 1 gigawatt(GW) […] Read more

A research team, led by Illie Hanzu from TU Graz’s Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Materials, is making battery and solar cell hybrid out of two single systems which will not only be able to convert […] Read more
Solar Installation to well surpass 4GW in 2016, marking a 100% YoY Growth – Report Updated On Fri, Mar 11th, 2016 by Saurenergy The Indian solar sector is finally emerging from hibernation with solar installations doubling in 2015 after three years of flat growth, said Raj Prabhu, CEO and co-founder of Mercom Capital Group. Global clean energy communications and research firm cited that solar installations totaled 2,133 MW in 2015, up from 883 MW installed in 2014, which […] Read more
The Colossal Solar is Tuning Growth – New Numbers are Promising Updated On Sun, Mar 6th, 2016 by Saurenergy The solar wealthy countries are on a row to compete on this nascent solar market. Last year, the big heads of the world congregated to sign a historic pact under International Solar Alliance (ISA), marking the generation to the alternative energy, especially ‘solar’. The solar industry of U.S. is witnessing impetus growth as new reports […] Read more
The ‘Misjudge Material’ can be the next Solar Cell Technology Updated On Tue, Mar 1st, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers are step close to a solar energy innovation which claims to vie traditional energy sources in electricity generation. Currently, silicon solar cells available in the solar cell market making manufacturing costs a bit tight for the manufacturers. But, a team Led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Washington State […] Read more
