Solar Panels – No More Useless in the Rains/ Even Rains Can’t Stop The Solar Panels Now! Updated On Fri, Oct 12th, 2018 by Saurenergy Yes, you heard it right the newly designed hybrid solar panels are fully capable of generating electricity even when it rains. One of the major concerns about the solar technology is its intermittency issue, which leads to reliance on storage technology which can be expensive. Hence researchers are on the look-out of developing a new […] Read more
Bifacial photovoltaics – The Future has two sides Updated On Wed, Oct 3rd, 2018 by Saurenergy Solar modules are aligned to or even track the sun. The rear of standard solar modules only receives a small fraction of the energy captured by the front of the module. Nevertheless, the back surface can contribute 5% to 30% of the overall energy balance. The word “bifacial” keeps cropping up nowadays in the photovoltaics […] Read more
