LUT developed new model shows the functioning of an electricity system that fulfills the targets set by Paris agreement Updated On Mon, Nov 7th, 2016 by Saurenergy Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) has developed a new model that shows how an electricity system mainly based on solar and wind works in all regions of the world. The new model also shows the functioning of an electricity system that fulfills the targets set by the Paris agreement by using only renewable energy sources. […] Read more
Researchers at University of Virginia discover wider use of new solar cells Updated On Wed, Nov 2nd, 2016 by Saurenergy Despite the potential for powering the world with energy from the sun – the most abundant source of renewable energy – only about 1 percent of the world’s energy production currently comes through solar cell technology. That’s because solar cells are expensive to produce and are susceptible to efficiency reductions over time. For this reason, […] Read more
This solar-charged battery directly stores energy from sunlight in a tank Updated On Sat, Sep 24th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at University of Wisconsin–Madison have developed solar-charged battery that directly stores energy from sunlight in a tank. Song Jin, a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, has integrated the solar cell with a large-capacity battery. He and his colleagues have made a single device that eliminates the usual intermediate step of making […] Read more
SolPad: Bringing the Solar Technology in a Single Pack Updated On Fri, Sep 23rd, 2016 by Saurenergy Solar panels installed at the roof, while batteries placed at the garage or basement- that’s what a typical solar power system looks like. But things are about to change now. The SunCulture Solar, a four year old start-up, led by entrepreneur and inventor Christopher Estes seems eager to make the Solar Panels and Storage One. […] Read more
This Solar Cell is highly efficient and can harvests more of sun’s energy Updated On Mon, Sep 5th, 2016 by Saurenergy A team of researchers from MIT and the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology has developed new solar cell that includes two different layers of sunlight-absorbing material to harvest a broader range of the sun’s energy and that costs less than its counterparts. The researchers call the device a “step cell,” because the two […] Read more
Researchers have designed a device that is effective and offer low-cost solution for storing solar energy Updated On Mon, Aug 29th, 2016 by Saurenergy Solar energy can be stored by converting it into hydrogen. But current methods are too expensive and don’t last long. Researchers at EPFL and CSEM have designed a device using commercially available solar cells and none of the usual rare metals that outperforms in stability, efficiency and cost. One of the solutions to store solar […] Read more
Scientists At The Australian National University Set Solar Thermal Record Updated On Fri, Aug 19th, 2016 by Saurenergy Australian National University (ANU) scientists have set a world record for efficiency for a solar thermal dish generating steam that could be used for power stations. Scientists at ANU designed and built a new receiver for the solar concentrator dish, halving losses and achieving a 97 per cent conversion of sunlight into steam. This solar […] Read more
Researchers develops Tiny High-Performance Solar Cells That Turns Power Generation Sideways Updated On Mon, Aug 8th, 2016 by Saurenergy Engineers at the University of Wisconsin—Madison have developed high-performance, micro-scale solar cells that can harvest almost three times more electricity from incoming light as compared to existing technologies. According to the researchers the miniature solar panels could power myriad personal devices — wearable medical sensors, smartwatches, even autofocusing contact lenses. The new, small cells, described […] Read more
Korean Researchers Develop High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells Updated On Fri, Jul 22nd, 2016 by Saurenergy A team of researchers led by Taiho Park at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea, has found a new method to improve not only the efficiency, but stability and humidity tolerance of perovskite solar cells. The Korean researchers designed a hydrophobic conducting polymer that has high hole mobility without the need of additives, […] Read more
