Perovskite Solar Cells reaches over 20% efficiency Updated On Fri, Jun 10th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researches at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are pushing the efficiency limits of perovskite solar cell by exploring the best way to grow these crystals. EPLF in a statement said researchers’ team headed by Michael Graetzel has found that, by briefly reducing the pressure while fabricating perovskite crystals, they were able to achieve the […] Read more
Small Wind Solar Hybrid System to provide electricity to un-electrified areas: MNRE Updated On Thu, May 26th, 2016 by Saurenergy Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing a programme to promote the installation of small wind solar hybrid systems. The objective of the programme is to provide electricity in unelectrified areas or areas with irregular electric supply. Under the programme, MNRE provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to community users for installation of such systems. […] Read more
Researchers demonstrate STPVs that converts solar heat into usable electric power Updated On Tue, May 24th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at MIT demonstrated a device based on a method that enables solar cells to break through a theoretically predicted ceiling on how much sunlight they can convert into electricity. A single-layer cell made of silicon is used for the vast majority of today’s solar panels — the upper limit of these cells is about […] Read more
Delhi Solar Policy Updated On Fri, May 20th, 2016 by Saurenergy Delhi Solar Policy Updates 2017 Delhi Solar Policy 2016 released by the Delhi state government applicable for the period, 2016-2020. Promotion for investment climate enabling multiple financial models is the primary focus of the policy. With the major focus on self-owned Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) to third-party owned Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) models applied to […] Read more
How micro-converters and power optimizers help solar panels make hay when the sun doesn’t shine Updated On Fri, May 20th, 2016 by Saurenergy Everybody wants to get maximum benefit out of their purchase. And the want applies only too well for solar panels. Producing electricity using unconventional sources like sun, wind, geothermal or biogas hasn’t been an easy task. Apart from innovating on surface materials that converts these kinds of sources into electric current, there’s a host of […] Read more
MNRE releases year wise cumulative target to achieve 100GW Grid connected Solar Power Project Updated On Thu, Apr 7th, 2016 by Saurenergy Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has chalked out year wise and cumulative target to achieve 1,00,000 MW Grid connected Solar Power Project by the year 2021-22 under National Solar Mission. The ministry notes that in case of major events, such as shortage of panels in international market or in the domestic market, a portion […] Read more
TU Graz researchers developing solar cell + battery hybrid Updated On Fri, Apr 1st, 2016 by Saurenergy The SolaBat project backed by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), is entering into almost new research territory. A research team, led by Illie Hanzu from TU Graz’s Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Materials, is making battery and solar cell hybrid out of two single systems which will not only be able to convert […] Read more
Xerox working on digital printing process for mass production of solar photovoltaic systems Updated On Sat, Mar 26th, 2016 by Saurenergy Xerox’s R&D-focused subsidiary PARC is developing a new digital printing process for mass-production of cheaper concentrated photovoltaic systems. These systems are expected to increase efficiency of solar cells by using lens, which can distillate sunlight on small cells. Price of solar module has already dropped sharply in the past, but increase in efficiency may cut […] Read more
Solar Energy Now Operational at Jaipur Railway Station Updated On Mon, Mar 14th, 2016 by Saurenergy Imagining Indian railways stations operated through solar has already taken a churn, as latest report states that Jaipur railway stations to run completely on solar power. Integrated with rooftop solar panels, the railway station will produce 260 units of electricity on its inaugural day, which was 35 units more than its daily capacity. The general […] Read more
