Tin Monosulfide Crystal Opens Pathway for Next Gen Solar Cells Updated On Wed, Sep 2nd, 2020 by Saurenergy A team of scientists has developed a new process for the fabrication of crystal Tin Monosulfide, which opens the door for it to be introduced in PV cells Tin Monosulfide (SnS) has long been considered a potential alternative to the sometimes rare, expensive and toxic materials used in today’s solar photovoltaic cells. And now, a […] Read more
Recycling, The Coming Challenge For Solar Panels Updated On Tue, Sep 1st, 2020 by Saurenergy With Global Solar Capacity crossing 600 GW this year, the industry can no longer afford to ignore the issue of recycling faulty or retiring solar panels. The 600 GW milestone for solar might have passed by unannounced this year, but it is a huge milestone, and 2020 might still end with close to 650 GW […] Read more
Design Breakthrough can Spur Advances in Solar Lasers and Hydrogen Generation Updated On Thu, Aug 13th, 2020 by Saurenergy Scientists in Japan have developed a fully planar device that converts sunlight into a laser beam, which can efficiently power hydrogen fuel generators. Solar-pumped lasers convert sunlight into laser beams, which can be used to produce hydrogen—a clean type of fuel that can help to tackle the current environmental crisis. But, these lasers usually require […] Read more
Long Lasting Solar Storage Possible With Solar Flow Battery Updated On Tue, Jul 14th, 2020 by Saurenergy Chemists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and their collaborators have created a highly efficient and long-lasting solar flow battery Chemists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and their collaborators have created a highly efficient and long-lasting solar flow battery, a way to generate, store and redeliver renewable electricity from the sun in one device.

NREL Research Points to Strategies for Recycling of Solar Panels Updated On Tue, Jul 14th, 2020 by Saurenergy Researchers at NREL have conducted the first global assessment into the most promising approaches to end-of-life management for solar PV panels. PV modules have a 30-year lifespan. There is currently no plan for how to manage this at end of their lifespan. The volume of modules no longer needed could total 80 million metric tons […] Read more
New Precision Spray-Coating Enables Complex Perovskite Solar Cell Designs Updated On Mon, Jun 15th, 2020 by Saurenergy Researchers have developed a new precision spray-coating method that enables complex perovskite solar cell designs and could be used to scale up for mass production. Perovskites, a highly promising alternative to the silicon which is used to make most of today’s solar cells, needs new manufacturing processes to make them practical for commercial production. And […] Read more
