The 1500 Volt Future

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 […]

NREL’s Quantum Dot Research Yields Greater Control

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed new designer quantum dot systems with greater control over beneficial properties for photo-electrochemical and photovoltaic solar applications. The scientists were able to chemically modify lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dot surfaces so that their ionization energy– the amount of energy needed to […]

Photovoltaics and batteries: an expensive combination

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 […]
