The 1500 Volt Future Updated On Fri, Sep 22nd, 2017 by Saurenergy The 1,500 Volt systems had very quickly surpassed the benchmark of 1,000 Volt systems and became new normal globally. The idea behind the voltage increase is the same as it was during the move from 600 volts to 1,000 volts. It further reduced installation costs and increased profitability by reducing the number of inverters and […] Read more
Photovoltaics and batteries: an expensive combination Updated On Wed, Sep 20th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar power can cover up to 40% of the electricity needs of a typical Belgian household. Going beyond that level becomes really expensive: using batteries coupled with solar panels would be twice as expensive as using the power grid. It is one of the conclusions from a research by ULB researchers recently published on Applied […] Read more

NRL Tests Autonomous ‘Soaring with Solar’ Concept Updated On Fri, Sep 15th, 2017 by Saurenergy Researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Vehicle Research Section and Photovoltaic Section are building on the proven concept of autonomous cooperative soaring of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Their research investigates the presence of solar photovoltaics (PV) to the cooperative autonomous soaring techniques, which enables long endurance flights of unmanned sailplanes that use the […] Read more
Next-gen solar cells could be improved by atomic-scale redesign Updated On Fri, Sep 15th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar cells harness energy from the Sun and provide an alternative to non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. However, they face challenges from costly manufacturing processes and poor efficiency — the amount of sunlight converted to useable energy. Light-absorbing materials called organic lead halide perovskites are used in a new type of solar cells that […] Read more
