Grid-Connected Solar Rooftops Have higher Energy Payout Ratio: Report Updated On Wed, Apr 10th, 2019 by Saurenergy The energy produced over the lifetime of typical rooftop solar panels more than makes up for the energy it takes to make, mount and then eventually recycle them. But adding a home battery usually lowers those dividends, according to new research from Stanford University. A new study published by the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Sustainable […] Read more
Toyota Installs SimpleFuel Station to its Plant, Generating Hydrogen Fuel using Solar Energy Updated On Thu, Apr 4th, 2019 by Saurenergy Toyota has announced that it has newly introduced SimpleFuel to its Motomachi Plant in Toyota City, an electrolysis-based machine for hydrogen generation and filling that can produce, store, and supply hydrogen by making use of electricity generated from solar power. SimpleFuel is a product of and jointly manufactured by IVYS Energy Solutions and PDC Machines […] Read more
Climate Change Affecting India’s Wind Power Generation: Study Updated On Tue, Apr 2nd, 2019 by Saurenergy Increased warming in the Indian Ocean and the resultant weakening of the Indian summer monsoon may come in the way of India’s goal of leading the world’s wind power generation. The potential electricity production has reduced by about 13% in the past 40 years Researchers from Harvard University, US, and National Climate Center in Beijing, […] Read more
The Renewable Energy Storage Conundrum has a New Solution: Proton Conducting Fuel Cell Updated On Mon, Apr 1st, 2019 by Saurenergy Two research teams have worked out a way for a better performance by the new proton conducting fuel cells, that can make fuel and reconvert it to electricity using just one set of catalyst, increasing the energy efficiency in these cells and in turn standing out as a viable solution for the renewable energy storage […] Read more
China’s Target of 20% Renewables by 2030, Considerably Harder Updated On Fri, Mar 29th, 2019 by Saurenergy Tripling the share of non-fossil fuels will require a major overhaul of China’s recalcitrant power sector and the full deployment of a fledgling emissions trading system, they said in the journal Nature Communications. China can easily meet its Paris climate pledge to peak its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, but sourcing 20 percent of its energy […] Read more

China’s Ambitious Solar Power Space Project is a bet on the future Updated On Wed, Mar 20th, 2019 by Saurenergy China plans to have a solar power station orbiting the earth at 36,000 km, allowing it to tap the energy of the sun’s rays without interference from the atmosphere or loss of sunlight. According to Chinese media, the country is working on plans to build a solar farm in space. The project is hugely ambitious […] Read more
A Solar-Powered Device Turning Air into Water Updated On Mon, Mar 18th, 2019 by Saurenergy In a “breakthrough”, scientists have developed a novel solar-powered harvesting system that absorbs moisture from the air and converts it into clean, usable water. The technology, described in the journal Advanced Materials, could be used in disaster situations, water crises or poverty-stricken areas and developing countries. It relies on hydrogels, gel-polymer hybrid materials designed to […] Read more
