New Material for Solar Cells Discovered With AI Software Assistance Updated On Fri, Jun 1st, 2018 by Saurenergy The ability to convert light into electricity depends on both the organic and polymer layer. Although there were efforts by scientists to use different material for it however all the efforts lead to only waste of time and energy. Solar cells will play a crucial role in shifting to a renewable economy. Based on light-absorbing […] Read more
Innovations in material facilitates in bringing longer-lasting solar PV panels Updated On Fri, Nov 11th, 2016 by Saurenergy A report from Lux Research suggests that material innovation is ramping up in solar as the industry aims to address the widespread decrease in performance over time that affects photovoltaic (PV) modules. Solar modules degrade over the years, due to environmental factors, causing performance drops and even failures. Such degradation is growing in importance because […] Read more
Researchers sets New Record for Silicon-based Multi-junction Solar Cell with 30.2 Percent Efficiency Updated On Thu, Nov 10th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE together with the Austrian company EV Group (EVG) has developed a silicon-based multi-junction solar cell with two contacts and record efficiency of 30.2 % exceeding theoretical limit of silicon solar cells. To achieve this efficiency, researchers used a “direct wafer bonding” process to transfer a […] Read more
This solar-charged battery directly stores energy from sunlight in a tank Updated On Sat, Sep 24th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at University of Wisconsin–Madison have developed solar-charged battery that directly stores energy from sunlight in a tank. Song Jin, a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, has integrated the solar cell with a large-capacity battery. He and his colleagues have made a single device that eliminates the usual intermediate step of making […] Read more
‘Graphene’ can solve the Rainy Day Riddle of Solar Power Updated On Fri, Apr 8th, 2016 by Saurenergy Dilemma of solar power working on nights or during inclement weather has given hesitant reasons to rely on this source of green energy. As technology leapfrogs rainy days might also not affect the potential of solar. Researchers are undergoing revolutionary experiments with the wonder material ‘graphene’ (its potential has defined new dimensions in semiconductors too) […] Read more
MIT explains the crux behind the World’s Lightest Solar Cells Updated On Mon, Mar 7th, 2016 by Saurenergy As solar panels get mainstream, innovations into this technology are also on leap. Today, technologies are getting more flexible, thinner and lighter and researchers at MIT are known to have abided the rules and created the thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced. The MIT professor Vladimir Bulovi, research scientist Annie Wang, and doctoral student Joel […] Read more
