India’s Solar Initiative seems already Sunny Updated On Tue, Mar 8th, 2016 by Saurenergy India is a home for around 300 million people living with sporadic electricity and also a country which receives the most amount of sunlight in a year. Hence it is said that the solar energy available in the country surpasses the possible energy output of all fossil fuels energy reserves. Solar is the only viable […] Read more
Researchers Paves Path on Converting Sunlight into Hydrogen Updated On Mon, Feb 22nd, 2016 by Saurenergy A team of Korean researchers claims to have developed a new type of multilayered (Au NPs/TiO2/Au) photoelectrode that boosts the ability of solar water-splitting to produce hydrogen. The researchers affiliated with UNIST asserts that this special photoelectrode, inspired by the way plants convert sunlight into energy is capable of absorbing visible light from the sun, […] Read more
Solar Power Tariffs to witness Legitimate Fall – Study Updated On Fri, Feb 19th, 2016 by Saurenergy Despite aggressive bidding, debt viability of projects with low execution and counterparty risks — especially those under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission scheme and Solar Park scheme, is likely to remain intact,” said a recent report of India Ratings and Research, or Ind-Ra. Solar power tariffs—which hit a low of Rs 4.34 per unit […] Read more
