Solar Panels That Could Revolutionise Clean Energy Updated On Mon, Feb 4th, 2019 by Saurenergy High temperatures are no longer required to coat things with a photovoltaic layer, thanks to Olga’s Inkjet Processing Method. A novel inkjet processing method for perovskites (a new generation of cheaper solar cells) developed by a Polish Physicist and Businesswoman, Olga Malinkiewicz, makes it possible to now producing solar panels even under lower temperatures, drastically […] Read more
Boosting the Stability of Low-Cost, Large-Area Solar Modules Updated On Thu, Jan 24th, 2019 by Saurenergy The study supports prior evidence that a commonly used material in PSCs, called titanium dioxide, degrades the devices and limits their lifetime. Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have resolved a fundamental weakness in a promising solar technology known as Perovskite Solar Cells, or PSCs. According to their research results, […] Read more
ASU Engineers Break Solar Cell Record Updated On Fri, Jan 18th, 2019 by Saurenergy Addition of chemicals to solution allows the team to surpass their own record from last year A team of researchers from the Arizona State University in collaboration with researchers from the University of Nebraska claims to have set the world record efficiency of 25.4 percent for a tandem solar cell stacked with perovskite and silicon. […] Read more
Solar-Tectic Gets Patent for CZTS Thin Film Tandem Solar Cell Updated On Sat, Nov 24th, 2018 by Saurenergy The patent, US 10,062,792 titled “Method of Making a CZTS/Silicon Thin-Film Tandem Solar Cell,” is for high efficiency and cost effective earth abundant non-toxic solar cells, with the potential to surpass current dominant silicon wafer solar panel efficiencies as well as those of the commercially available thin-film solar cell technologies such as CIGS, CdTe, and […] Read more
Bi-Layer Solar Cell Sets Record for Efficiency Updated On Sat, Sep 1st, 2018 by Saurenergy The Solar cell is believed to have converted more than 25 percent of the sun’s energy into electrical power in the category of perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell. Material scientists from UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have developed a double-layered thin film solar cell that has set efficiency records in generating power from sunlight. The device […] Read more
EU, Japan Criticized India for Safeguard Duty on Solar Cells Updated On Wed, Apr 25th, 2018 by Saurenergy The EU, at the meeting of WTO’s Safeguards Committee, recalled that safeguard measures should only be imposed under exceptional circumstances, particularly if the imports that are causing problems come from predominantly one source. The decision by India to impose safeguard duty on imported solar cells drew flak from Japan and the European Union at World […] 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
