Scientists develops solar- powered smart windows that can save up to 40% of a building’s energy cost Updated On Mon, Jul 3rd, 2017 by Saurenergy “We wanted the smart window to dynamically control the amount of natural light and heat that can come inside, saving on energy cost and making the space more comfortable,” said Loo. Scientists have developed solar- powered smart windows with controllable glazing that can augment lighting, cooling and heating systems by varying their tint, saving up […] Read more
Solar Panel Lamination: Procedure, Advantages and Future Updated On Sat, Jul 1st, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar panel lamination ensures the longevity of the solar cells of a module as they need to be able to withstand outdoor exposure in all types of climate for periods of 25 years and more Solar panel lamination ensures the longevity of the solar cells of a module as they need to be able to […] Read more
This new material removes water pollutants using solar power Updated On Thu, Jun 29th, 2017 by Saurenergy Researchers have developed materials capable of absorbing the visible part of the solar spectrum – other materials, such as titanium dioxide, are also able to break down dyes using solar energy, but their efficiency is limited as they only absorb higher energy, ultra-violet light. Researchers at the Swansea University in the United Kingdom have developed […] Read more
This solar paint can turn water vapor into hydrogen Updated On Thu, Jun 15th, 2017 by Saurenergy The solar paint contains a newly developed compound that acts like silica gel, which is used in sachets to absorb moisture and keep food, medicines and electronics fresh and dry. But unlike silica gel, the new material, synthetic molybdenum-sulphide, also acts as a semi-conductor and catalyses the splitting of water atoms into hydrogen and oxygen. […] Read more
