Perovskite Solar Cells reaches over 20% efficiency Updated On Fri, Jun 10th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researches at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are pushing the efficiency limits of perovskite solar cell by exploring the best way to grow these crystals. EPLF in a statement said researchers’ team headed by Michael Graetzel has found that, by briefly reducing the pressure while fabricating perovskite crystals, they were able to achieve the […] Read more
Solar cells could be based on iron molecules in future Updated On Tue, May 31st, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at Lund University have explained how iron-based dyes work on a molecular level in solar cells. The new finding is expected to accelerate the development of inexpensive and environmentally friendly solar cells. With the integration of iron instead of other more expensive and rare metals, the production of solar cells and light catchers will […] Read more
This new material keeps solar cells cool while still catching lights Updated On Mon, May 9th, 2016 by Saurenergy Solar cells capture sunlight and turn it into electricity, but most of the surplus energy turns into heat, which actually harms the solar cell and interestingly solar cells are only about 20 percent efficient. Researchers at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, USA have come out with a technology to keep the solar cells cool. The […] 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
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
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
Multi-Directional Solar Cells Can Harvest Sunlight from Various Angles Updated On Mon, Jan 4th, 2016 by Saurenergy Commercial solar panels work best when daylight hits them at a sure point. Recently, specialists had implied that solar panels confront south to gather the most energy from the sun. In another case, a significant 2013 report by Pecan Road prompted that systems leaning westward to boost proficiency. Further investigation has found that deciding the […] Read more
Qcells Launches Solar Recycling Unit In US As EOL Waste Rises Updated On Tue, Jun 10th, 2025 by Saurenergy US-based solar energy company Qcells has launched a new business unit, EcoRecycle by Qcells, to manage end-of-life (EOL) solar panel waste and reduce the industry’s environmental footprint. The company said on Monday that EcoRecycle will begin operations this year at a facility in Cartersville, Georgia, with plans to expand across the United States. At full […] Read more
With A Focus On Non-DCR Cells, Future Solar Aims 4 GW Capacity Updated On Mon, Apr 28th, 2025 by Saurenergy Indian solar module manufacturer Future Solar is on a fast growth track, with plans to scale its production capacity to 4 GW by July this year. According to Sanket Bhatia, General Manager (GM)-Sales and Marketing at Future Solar, the company is currently operating at 644 MW capacity and is in the process of adding 3.4 […] Read more
