Thinner Solar Cells Could Lead to lower Costs and Faster Expansion Updated On Tue, Jan 28th, 2020 by Saurenergy Researchers at MIT and at the NREL have outlined a pathway to slashing costs of solar cells by slimming down the silicon cells themselves. Costs of solar panels have plummeted over the last several years, leading to rates of solar installations far greater than most analysts had expected. But with most of the potential areas […] Read more
Limiting Global Warming Will Minimise Climate Costs: Study Updated On Tue, Jan 28th, 2020 by Saurenergy A recent study suggests that if global warming can be restricted to 2 degrees Celcius, the costs of climate damage control will also decrease. A recent study by a group of Postdam scientists has found that the Paris Agreement apart from being politically sensible makes sense in terms of the economy as well. The Paris […] Read more
