Trina Solar Hits New Efficiency Record of 22.61% for Mono-Crystalline Silicon PERC Cell Updated On Mon, Dec 19th, 2016 by Saurenergy Trina Solar Limited has announced that its State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology of China has set a new world conversion efficiency record of 22.61% for a high-efficiency p-type mono-crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell. The solar cell was fabricated on a large-sized boron-doped Cz-Si substrate with a low-cost industrial process of advanced PERC […] Read more
This simple processing technique could cut the cost of organic photovoltaics Updated On Mon, Dec 12th, 2016 by Saurenergy Scientists at UC Santa Barbara and three other universities has developed a new technique for manufacturing single-layer organic polymer solar cells to move organic photovoltaics into a whole new generation of wearable devices and enable small-scale distributed power generation. The simple doping solution-based process involves briefly immersing organic semiconductor films in a solution at room […] Read more
Emerging batteries and storage management strategies pave the way for microgrids Updated On Mon, Dec 12th, 2016 by Saurenergy It may sound ludicrous, but the concept of producing electricity is not very different from producing vegetables. It’s a different thing that the quality of one is increasing, the other in grave pity. We need more and more of electricity for our daily tasks – heating, cooling, cooking, commute (metro and electric vehicles); and so […] Read more

The agreement was signed by Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, and Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE […] Read more
Solar Cells Made With Tin Could Make Solar Power Cheaper And More Widespread Updated On Thu, Nov 24th, 2016 by Saurenergy A research team from University of Warwick lead by Dr. Ross Hatton and Professor Richard Walton explained how solar cells could be produced which are more adaptable and simpler to produce than their current counterparts. Researchers note that solar cells made with tin could lead to a more widespread use of solar power, with potential […] Read more
Beyond Silicon: ground-breaking research areas that chuck the Semiconductor Updated On Fri, Nov 11th, 2016 by Saurenergy One of the research areas of applied science that has seen a lot of promising ideas go down dwindling (and take companies with them) is that of solar photovoltaic cells. But like Edison said, the most certain way to succeed is to try, one more time. New materials are competing silicon based cells with a […] Read more
LUT developed new model shows the functioning of an electricity system that fulfills the targets set by Paris agreement Updated On Mon, Nov 7th, 2016 by Saurenergy Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) has developed a new model that shows how an electricity system mainly based on solar and wind works in all regions of the world. The new model also shows the functioning of an electricity system that fulfills the targets set by the Paris agreement by using only renewable energy sources. […] Read more
