Solar Cell Efficiency Questions Finally Finds an Answer Updated On Tue, Apr 26th, 2016 by Saurenergy The enigmatic material – spiro-OMeTAD has been cloak-and-dagger for around two decades. Despite research efforts, its utility of this material has constrained till hole-transporting material in perovskite and dye-sensitized solar cells. But latest study has resurrected the potential of spiro-OMeTAD determining the future of solar cells. This time, a team have grown single crys tals […] Read more
Fullerene-free Polymer solar cells manufactured using low-cost printing technology sets a new world record Updated On Wed, Apr 20th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at Linköping University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed cheaper and more reliable polymer solar cells. In recent years, polymer solar cells have emerged as a low cost alternative to silicon solar cells. In order to obtain high efficiency, fullerenes are usually required in polymer solar cells to separate charge carriers. […] Read more

A research team, led by Illie Hanzu from TU Graz’s Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Materials, is making battery and solar cell hybrid out of two single systems which will not only be able to convert […] 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
The ‘Misjudge Material’ can be the next Solar Cell Technology Updated On Tue, Mar 1st, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers are step close to a solar energy innovation which claims to vie traditional energy sources in electricity generation. Currently, silicon solar cells available in the solar cell market making manufacturing costs a bit tight for the manufacturers. But, a team Led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Washington State […] Read more
MIT researchers demonstrates thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced Updated On Sat, Feb 27th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated thinnest, flexible, and lightweight solar cell ever produced. The team used parylene flexible polymer as substrate and overcoating, and an organic material called DBP as the primary light-absorbing layer. Parylene is used to protect implanted biomedical devices and printed circuit boards from environmental damage. Researches note […] Read more
New Materials can be a breakthrough in Solar Cell Technology Updated On Sat, Jan 23rd, 2016 by Saurenergy A Solar PV assemblage is contained 100s to 1000s of solar cells that discretely switch radiant daylight into electrical streams. The normal solar cell is around 15% proficient, which implies almost 85% of the daylight that hits them doesn’t get changed over into power. After considering all the above theories, Scientists have continually been exploring […] Read more
