Expanding Wavelength Range for Solar Energy Conversion Updated On Thu, Nov 23rd, 2017 by Saurenergy Sunlight comes in a spectrum, with each color having a different wavelength. Solar cells must absorb light of particular wavelengths, depending on how much energy the cell needs to drive the reaction. Hydrogen gas is a promising “green” fuel. The lightest chemical element, hydrogen is an efficient energy store and could potentially replace gasoline in […] Read more
Oral Hearing on India’s Solar Anti-Dumping Duty Probe on December 12 Updated On Tue, Nov 21st, 2017 by Saurenergy India’s aim to impose an Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) on imported solar panels is to boost sales of locally made ones. An oral hearing on India’s Anti-Dumping Duty probe into imports of solar cells and modules from China, Taiwan and Malaysia will be held on 12 December. According to the notification issued by the Directorate General […] Read more
Ionic Solar Cell Could Provide On-Demand Water Desalination Updated On Tue, Nov 21st, 2017 by Saurenergy The use such a mechanism to manufacture a device that would directly desalinate saltwater upon exposure to sunlight. Modern solar cells, which use energy from light to generate electrons and holes that are then transported out of semiconducting materials and into external circuits for human use, have existed in one form or another for over […] Read more
Head to Head: PERC or Mono Half-Cell Updated On Fri, Nov 17th, 2017 by Saurenergy These innovative new technologies for solar PV systems have the potential to further boost power output and reduce overall costs. The technology of Passivated Emitter and Rear Cells (PERC) originated in 1990s and since then monocrystalline PERC has become increasingly popular due to its great efficiency. On the other hand, Half-cut solar cells are part […] Read more
Cooperation Agreement Signed Between Heraeus Photovoltaics and Rietech Solar Updated On Thu, Nov 16th, 2017 by Saurenergy HeraGlaze acts as a barrier and prevents thermally-induced impurities, such as iron, from transferring from the crucible to the silicon ingot. Heraeus Photovoltaics, the worldwide leading supplier of metallization solutions to the PV industry, today announced a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Rietech Solar, a China-based manufacturer of silicon wafers for solar cells. Under the agreement, […] Read more

Half-cell technology to rise and shine in subsidy-less solar business climate Updated On Thu, Nov 9th, 2017 by Saurenergy Both China’s launching tradable green certificates and Japan’s replacement of its Feed in Tariff (FiT) scheme with an auction mechanism shows that the cost of renewable power generation has become more and more competitive to that of fossil fuels. Solar will continue to survive with less dependency on subsidy in the near future. At the […] Read more
Mechanochemistry Paves the Way to Higher Quality Perovskite Photovoltaics Updated On Wed, Nov 8th, 2017 by Saurenergy Mechanochemistry is a rapidly developing field of science dealing with chemical reactions occurring directly between solid-phase compounds upon activation by mechanical force. For several years, tension has been rising in line with the approaching commercialization of perovskite photovoltaic cells. Now, there has been another small earthquake: it turns out that devices based on these materials […] Read more
