Solar Cell-Process, Position and Bazaar Updated On Wed, Apr 19th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar cell or photovoltaic (PV) cell is a semiconductor material, which combines some properties of both metals and insulators making it uniquely capable of converting light into electricity. When light is absorbed by a semiconductor, photons of light can transfer their energy to electrons, allowing the electrons to flow through the material as electrical current. […] Read more
New Material May Double Solar Cell Efficiency Updated On Mon, Apr 10th, 2017 by Saurenergy The new crystalline material can replace silicon and double the efficiency of solar cells in reduced cost. In a breakthrough, scientists have identified a new crystalline material that could replace silicon and double the efficiency of solar cells without a significant cost increase. Conventional solar cells are at most one-third efficient, a limit known to […] Read more

Chinese Scientists Developing All-Weather Solar Cells Updated On Mon, Apr 3rd, 2017 by Saurenergy Tang’s team and one led by Yang Peizhi, a professor with Yunnan Normal University, developed a solar cell using a crucial material called long persistent phosphor (LPP), which can store sunlight energy in the day and harvest it in darkness. A photovoltaic revolution is taking place with the emergence of new solar cells. Chinese scientists […] Read more
Cheap Chinese Imports Burn Domestic Solar Cell, Module Makers Updated On Tue, Feb 28th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar cell and module makers were hoping for incentives to scale up production, but it seems like Union Budget disappointed them. Indian solar cells and modules manufacturers have not able to cash in on the opportunity of rising solar power installations thanks to Chinese competition. Between April and October 2016, India imported solar power material […] Read more
