MIT researchers demonstrates thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced Updated On Sat, Feb 27th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated thinnest, flexible, and lightweight solar cell ever produced. The team used parylene flexible polymer as substrate and overcoating, and an organic material called DBP as the primary light-absorbing layer. Parylene is used to protect implanted biomedical devices and printed circuit boards from environmental damage. Researches note […] Read more
Multi-Directional Solar Cells Can Harvest Sunlight from Various Angles Updated On Mon, Jan 4th, 2016 by Saurenergy Commercial solar panels work best when daylight hits them at a sure point. Recently, specialists had implied that solar panels confront south to gather the most energy from the sun. In another case, a significant 2013 report by Pecan Road prompted that systems leaning westward to boost proficiency. Further investigation has found that deciding the […] Read more
As Chinese Solar Firms Raise Silicon Wafer Prices, Will Transmission Happen To Cells and Modules? Updated On Mon, Sep 2nd, 2024 by Saurenergy With the recent increase in silicon wafer prices by certain Chinese solar companies including Longi, the firms hope that this will also impact the cost of solar cells exported from China to other countries. Given China’s dominant position in solar cell exports, higher wafer prices could influence global solar module costs in destination markets. Prices, […] Read more
