Airports A Better Option Than Households for Rooftop Solar- RMIT University Study Updated On Mon, May 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy According to a recent study by RMIT University (The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) , if Australian government-owned airports had large-scale rooftop solar systems installed, they could produce enough electricity to power 136,000 homes. That makes airports a far more attractive and effective prospects for rooftop solar, than a campaign targeting households. Researchers at RMIT […] Read more
Decentralized Solar Offers Energy Solutions In Climate Vulnerable Regions in India Updated On Mon, May 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy A significant section of rural India lives in areas which are prone/accustomed to climatic adversities. Hence, people living in these regions are greater risk of being underserved, and hence, impoverished. Although there have been significant improvements in India’s rural household electrification, electricity availability for health centers, schools, and rural enterprises is still limited. A new […] Read more
German Scientists Redesign Stack to Make Cheaper Redox Flow Batteries Updated On Sat, May 8th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT, located in Germany, claim that thorough redesigning the stack, they have contrived a way to bring down production costs of redox flow batteries which are used to store renewable energy. As a result, Christian Doetsch and Lukas Kopietz from Fraunhofer UMSICHT and Dr. Thorsten Seipp […] Read more

Arriving Soon: Solar Panels that Generate Power at Night Updated On Sat, Apr 24th, 2021 by Saurenergy Can solar panels generate energy even when the sun isn’t around? In a major breakthrough, researchers at the University of California have designed a unique night solar panel (NSP) that can produce 50 W under ideal conditions at night, one-fourth of what traditional solar panel produce during the day. In their paper entitled ‘Nighttime Photovoltaic […] Read more
Solar Power Technology Continues To Wait On the Promise Of Perovskite Cells Updated On Tue, Apr 20th, 2021 by Saurenergy Scientists today are using perovskite materials, named after a little known 19th Century Russian mineralogist and nobleman Count Lev Perovski, to make solar cells more efficient and adaptable than ever before. The material was first discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in 1839 by Gustav Rose and became fairly common in later decades wherein it was […] Read more
Wind Energy Could Go The Solar Way With Huge Cost Reductions by 2050 Updated On Mon, Apr 19th, 2021 by Saurenergy After a decade when it has been left playing catch up with Solar, thanks to the swift reduction in costs seen with Solar, Wind energy might yet see better days, as costs come down further. According to an article published in the journal Nature Energy, a recent global survey of 140 wind energy experts conducted […] Read more
UCR Scientists Upcycle PET Bottles to Make EV Batteries Updated On Wed, Apr 14th, 2021 by Saurenergy Could excess plastic waste be used to reduce carbon emissions? Sounds too good to be true? Well, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have devised a way to turn polyethylene terephthalate (PET) found in consumer plastic bottles into material useful for producing sustainable energy storage. While the storage capacity of batteries made using this […] Read more
