A Solar Cell That Does Double Duty for Renewable Energy Updated On Tue, Oct 30th, 2018 by Saurenergy Researchers develop an artificial photosynthesis system that generates hydrogen fuel and electricity at the same time In the quest for abundant, renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, scientists have sought to harvest the sun’s energy through “water splitting,” an artificial photosynthesis technique that uses sunlight to generate hydrogen fuel from water. But water-splitting devices have yet […] Read more
India’s Rooftop Solar Market – High on Opportunities and Loaded with Challenges Updated On Wed, Oct 24th, 2018 by Saurenergy Experts from the industry, policy makers and market researchers will share their experience and views and suggest the ways to accelerate the market during three rooftop conference sessions at Intersolar India on December 11-13, 2018 in Bangalore. Net metering was introduced in India as a measure to make rooftop solar more accessible and economical for […] Read more
New Material, Manufacturing Process use Sun’s Heat for Cheaper Renewable Electricity Updated On Sat, Oct 20th, 2018 by Saurenergy Solar power accounts for less than 2 percent of U.S. electricity but could make up more than that if the cost of electricity generation and energy storage for use on cloudy days and at nighttime were cheaper. A Purdue University-led team developed a new material and manufacturing process that would make one way to use solar power […] Read more
Solar Panels – No More Useless in the Rains/ Even Rains Can’t Stop The Solar Panels Now! Updated On Fri, Oct 12th, 2018 by Saurenergy Yes, you heard it right the newly designed hybrid solar panels are fully capable of generating electricity even when it rains. One of the major concerns about the solar technology is its intermittency issue, which leads to reliance on storage technology which can be expensive. Hence researchers are on the look-out of developing a new […] Read more
