This new material keeps solar cells cool while still catching lights Updated On Mon, May 9th, 2016 by Saurenergy Solar cells capture sunlight and turn it into electricity, but most of the surplus energy turns into heat, which actually harms the solar cell and interestingly solar cells are only about 20 percent efficient. Researchers at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, USA have come out with a technology to keep the solar cells cool. The […] Read more
Fullerene-free Polymer solar cells manufactured using low-cost printing technology sets a new world record Updated On Wed, Apr 20th, 2016 by Saurenergy Researchers at Linköping University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed cheaper and more reliable polymer solar cells. In recent years, polymer solar cells have emerged as a low cost alternative to silicon solar cells. In order to obtain high efficiency, fullerenes are usually required in polymer solar cells to separate charge carriers. […] Read more
MIT explains the crux behind the World’s Lightest Solar Cells Updated On Mon, Mar 7th, 2016 by Saurenergy As solar panels get mainstream, innovations into this technology are also on leap. Today, technologies are getting more flexible, thinner and lighter and researchers at MIT are known to have abided the rules and created the thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced. The MIT professor Vladimir Bulovi, research scientist Annie Wang, and doctoral student Joel […] Read more
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
