Gujarat Hints India’s Largest Solar Park Updated On Tue, May 1st, 2018 by Saurenergy The bottlenecks for the development of park are likely to be less as the state has already procured the land identified for the project. The project will be able to move at a rapid pace. Government officials also reportedly said that no separate environmental clearance would be required either. The sun-borne state of India, Gujarat […] 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
HP Churns Mobility in Irrigation, Installs Mobile Operated Solar lift Updated On Sat, Apr 28th, 2018 by Saurenergy The installed solar lift is a mobile-operated project fostering mobility and making easy for farmers to use. Accessed easily through phones, now farmers can easily turn the pump on and off with just a click. The ‘shakti’ mobile app controls the solar panel via a chip that is being added to the panel. Agriculture department […] Read more
Six in Ten US Voters Oppose Tariffs on Solar Panels: Survey Updated On Fri, Apr 27th, 2018 by Saurenergy The tariffs came in effect on 22 January on the request from two solar panel producers with operations in United States. The concern was that solar panels are being imported from other countries in such a high volumes that the companies are not able to compete. The imports mostly came from Asia. The new tariffs […] Read more
China Solar PV Capacity Surges 22% in Q1 2018 Updated On Fri, Apr 27th, 2018 by Saurenergy In contrast, utility-scale installed capacity declined 64 per cent to only 1.95GW in the first quarter of 2018, compared to the prior year period. In the first quarter of 2018 China installed a total of 9.56GW of Solar PV capacity. This is an increase of 22 percent as compared to previous year, according to China’s […] Read more
