Eastman’s Maintenance-Free Gel Batteries Successfully Hits Energy Storage Market Updated On Tue, May 8th, 2018 by Saurenergy The highlight of gel batteries is that the electrolyte contained in it does not flow like a liquid ensuring an instant start and long-lasting performance. The gel batteries manufactured by Eastman Auto and Power Ltd, a leading company in the energy storage segment and solar solutions, are making a mark in the power backup market […] Read more
Schletter to Introduce New Tracker at Intersolar Updated On Thu, May 3rd, 2018 by Saurenergy Traditional tracking systems use hydraulic dampers to mitigate the vibrations and torsional forces caused by the wind; however the Schletter system has self-locking mechanism that allows it to lock elements automatically as soon as the rows stop moving. Scheletter Group, a manufacturer of solar mounting systems, is introducing a new single-axis tracking system at intersolar. […] Read more
Govt Floats Massive 20,000MW Solar Power Capacity Updated On Tue, May 1st, 2018 by Saurenergy The new projects are likely to ramp up renewable energy production in the country from around 70 GW to around 225 GW in next four years. The NDA government ramping up to oust 100GW target after it is lately known to have shared proposals to issue tenders for 20 GW solar power capacities. The mammoth capacity […] Read more
New Research Brings Us Closer to Cheap, Transparent, Organic Solar Cells Updated On Fri, Apr 13th, 2018 by Saurenergy The age of fossil fuels is coming to an end, and the age of renewable energy has dawned—or, it will be dawning soon. In 2014 the World Bank estimated that over 80 percent of the world’s energy came from fossil fuels. That figure is set to drop as countries adopt ambitious goals to move towards […] Read more
Smart New Method to Manufacture Organic Solar Cells Updated On Wed, Apr 11th, 2018 by Saurenergy The ability to use cheap materials and simple manufacturing methods are two huge advantages of printed organic solar cells. OlleInganas, professor at Linkoping University, is head of a research group that has now developed an even simpler method to manufacture solar cell modules. The results have been published in the scientific journal npj Flexible Electronics. […] Read more
Relaxed Crystal Increases Solar Cell Efficiency Updated On Sat, Apr 7th, 2018 by Saurenergy According to the researchers, the research represents a significant step toward stable perovskite-based solar cells for next generation solar-to-electricity and solar-to-fuel technologies. The researchers have discovered that constant illumination relaxes strain in perovskite’s crystal lattice, allowing it to uniformly expand in all directions. A collaborative research led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory found that […] Read more

In conversation […] Read more
Slow ‘Hot Electrons’ Could Improve Solar Cell Efficiency Updated On Tue, Feb 27th, 2018 by Saurenergy Photons with energy higher than the ‘band gap’ of the semiconductor absorbing them give rise to what are known as hot electrons. The extra energy in respect to the band gap is lost very fast, as it is converted into heat so it does not contribute to the voltage. University of Groningen Professor of Photophysics […] Read more
