Scorchio – Solar Energy is on the Up So too are Associated O&M Costs Updated On Wed, Jun 13th, 2018 by Saurenergy The Early May Bank Holiday weekend saw record temperatures across the UK, with many southern and eastern counties experiencing hotter weather than the Mediterranean. Such was the weekend heatwave that solar power transpired to be the dominant energy source between 12.15 and 3.15 on the Sunday, producing more power that the conventional energy generation sources, […] Read more
New Material for Solar Cells Discovered With AI Software Assistance Updated On Fri, Jun 1st, 2018 by Saurenergy The ability to convert light into electricity depends on both the organic and polymer layer. Although there were efforts by scientists to use different material for it however all the efforts lead to only waste of time and energy. Solar cells will play a crucial role in shifting to a renewable economy. Based on light-absorbing […] Read more
Viz-A-Viz with Sujoy Ghosh, Country Head, First Solar, India Updated On Fri, May 25th, 2018 by Saurenergy Q. Higher Energy Yield. Lower LCOE. Superior Return – This is your mantra for Series 6 Modules. Can you please justify the above statement in detail? The First Solar Series 6 module leverages the same proven semi-conductor (CdTe) and the manufacturing process, with a larger form factor. The module size is 1.2X 2 Mtrs with […] Read more
Fraunhofer ISE Develops Printed In-Situ Perovskite Solar Cells to Save Resources Updated On Fri, May 18th, 2018 by Saurenergy With a record efficiency of 12.6 percent, the researchers have now reached an important milestone in the field of printed photovoltaics. Besides silicon-based photovoltaics, which presently dominate the market, there are other materials, such as perovskite, that also show great potential. Scientists are testing the proof of concept of these new types of solar cells. […] Read more
Potassium Offers Perovskite-Based Solar Cells an Efficiency Boost Updated On Mon, Apr 30th, 2018 by Saurenergy A simple potassium solution could boost the efficiency of next-generation solar cells, by enabling them to convert more sunlight into electricity. An international team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge found that the addition of potassium iodide ‘healed’ the defects and immobilised ion movement, which to date have limited the efficiency of cheap […] Read more
