Imagining Application of Water to Store Renewable Power is a Step-Away! Updated On Tue, May 1st, 2018 by Saurenergy This revolutionary yet cheap technology can store Solar and Wind energy subsequently and then easily can be fed to the grid and later redistributed when the demand is high. Imagining water to store electricity can surely make your drink one more glass right-away as scientist have discovered a battery that is known to operate through […] Read more
Monocrystalline Silicon Thin Film Cheaper and Faster to Fabricate Updated On Tue, May 1st, 2018 by Saurenergy A research team from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and Waseda University have successfully produced high-quality thin film monocrystalline silicon with a reduced crystal defect density down to the silicon wafer level at a growth rate that is more than 10 times higher than before. In principle, this method can improve the raw material […] Read more
Potassium Offers Perovskite-Based Solar Cells an Efficiency Boost Updated On Mon, Apr 30th, 2018 by Saurenergy A simple potassium solution could boost the efficiency of next-generation solar cells, by enabling them to convert more sunlight into electricity. An international team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge found that the addition of potassium iodide ‘healed’ the defects and immobilised ion movement, which to date have limited the efficiency of cheap […] Read more
Viz-A-Viz with Harsh Thacker, Sr Analyst- MOVE (Moving Onwards Vehicle Electrification) Updated On Mon, Apr 30th, 2018 by Saurenergy Q. With all automobile companies helming towards Electric Vehicles, demand for energy and suitable ecosystem is the initial glitch, how is IESA working to outpace these snags? India has a significant market potential for batteries and electric vehicles. Our analysis projects the EV market potential for India would be around 77 million between now […] Read more
Metallization Paste for a Constantly Evolving Substrate Updated On Sat, Apr 28th, 2018 by Saurenergy Introduction A lot of focus in the Photovoltaics (PV) industry is placed on the performance and reliability of final assembled modules and systems. However, further upstream there are hundreds of critical pieces that need to come together first. With >90% of the world’s installed PV being crystalline silicon-based [1], one of the key components is […] Read more
