UNIST Researchers Develop Highly Stable Perovskite Solar Cells Updated On Sat, Dec 30th, 2017 by Saurenergy A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has presented highly stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs), using edged-selectively fluorine (F) functionalized graphene nano-platelets (EFGnPs). This breakthrough has gotten much attention as it is made out of fluorine, a low-cost alternative to gold. This study has been jointly led by Professor Jin Young Kim in the School of […] Read more
Scientists Elevate Quantum Dot Solar Cell World Record Updated On Sat, Dec 30th, 2017 by Saurenergy Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) established a new world efficiency record for quantum dot solar cells, at 13.4 percent. Colloidal quantum dots are electronic materials and because of their astonishingly small size (typically 3-20 nanometers in dimension) they possess fascinating optical properties. Quantum dot solar cells emerged […] Read more
Probe on Surging Duty for Solar Cell Imports Began By Government Updated On Tue, Dec 26th, 2017 by Saurenergy India is targeting to 100 GW solar capacity by 2022. The current installed capacity is about 15 GW. India began to probe to determine imposition of safeguard duty on surging imports of solar cells with a view to protect domestic manufacturers. Domestic manufacturers have approached the Directorate General of Safeguards (DGS) with a complaint that […] Read more

What Solar Panels Do at Night? Updated On Fri, Dec 15th, 2017 by Saurenergy Sun is the prime source wherein solar panels efficiently convert sunlight into electricity. But why can’t solar panels gleefully generate electricity at night. Righto! The designing and technology of solar panels have been developed to work with sun. Few experts argue that Moonlight can be used to power PV cells at cost of 345:1. That […] Read more
Glass with Switchable Opacity Could Improve Solar Cells and LEDs Updated On Thu, Dec 14th, 2017 by Saurenergy Switchable glass available today is quite expensive because it uses transparent conducting layers to apply a voltage across the entire glass. Using nanoscale grass-like structures, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have created glass that lets through a large amount of light while appearing hazy. This is the first time that glass has been […] Read more
Petitioners Attended the Anti-Dumping Petition Hearing by DGAD Updated On Wed, Dec 13th, 2017 by Saurenergy An anti-dumping duty may be described as a protectionist tariff imposed by the domestic government. All the petitioners of the anti-dumping duty matter on solar cells and modules were present at the hearing by the Directorate General of Anti- Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) on December 12, 2017. The Indian Solar Manufacturers Association (ISMA) as […] Read more
