Stanford Scientists Create New Material for Thin, Lightweight Solar Panels Updated On Thu, Dec 16th, 2021 by Saurenergy A race is on in solar engineering to create almost impossibly-thin, flexible solar panels. Engineers imagine them used in mobile applications, from self-powered wearable devices and sensors to lightweight aircraft and electric vehicles. Against that backdrop, researchers at Stanford University have achieved record efficiencies in a promising group of photovoltaic materials, writes Andrew Myers in […] Read more
Curbs On China Imports Fail To Slow Down Solar Imports For US In 2021 Updated On Mon, Dec 13th, 2021 by Saurenergy A research report from Rystad Energy lays bare the failure of US efforts to reduce dependence on Solar Imports, especially by curbing imports from China. According to the report, the US is on track to import a record 27.8 gigawatts (GW) of solar PV panels in 2021 from a range of countries, up from 26.7 […] Read more
At Intersolar India, Gujarat Demonstrates Why It Is India’s Solar Growth Engine Updated On Mon, Dec 6th, 2021 by Saurenergy At Intersolar India last week, the first doubt that was cleared very quickly was the choice of location. Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, is known to most people more for its limited role as the seat of the state government, than any pretensions to be a thriving commercial or cultural hub. Barely 20 odd kilometres […] Read more
