The 1500 Volt Future Updated On Fri, Sep 22nd, 2017 by Saurenergy The 1,500 Volt systems had very quickly surpassed the benchmark of 1,000 Volt systems and became new normal globally. The idea behind the voltage increase is the same as it was during the move from 600 volts to 1,000 volts. It further reduced installation costs and increased profitability by reducing the number of inverters and […] Read more
NREL’s Quantum Dot Research Yields Greater Control Updated On Wed, Sep 20th, 2017 by Saurenergy Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed new designer quantum dot systems with greater control over beneficial properties for photo-electrochemical and photovoltaic solar applications. The scientists were able to chemically modify lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dot surfaces so that their ionization energy– the amount of energy needed to […] Read more
Photovoltaics and batteries: an expensive combination Updated On Wed, Sep 20th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar power can cover up to 40% of the electricity needs of a typical Belgian household. Going beyond that level becomes really expensive: using batteries coupled with solar panels would be twice as expensive as using the power grid. It is one of the conclusions from a research by ULB researchers recently published on Applied […] Read more

UP With The Sun Indian Food Industry Updated On Wed, Sep 6th, 2017 by Saurenergy Food industry is an important sector in every economy, and India is no exception. The food industry in India plays an important role in the country’s economic development as a result of the vital linkages and synergies that it promotes between the industrial and the agricultural sector, the two most important sectors in the Indian […] Read more
POWER OPTIMIZER: Smart Module Technology Updated On Mon, Sep 4th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar power technology isn’t a new discovery; in fact, it was discovered way back in 1800 when Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel—a nineteen-year old French scientist—was experimenting with an electrolytic cell composed of two metal electrodes. He was surprised as he discovered that the materials would emit energy when exposed to light. That was when PV effect came […] Read more
