Odisha’s Behrampur Gets Solar-Powered Water Pumps Updated On Wed, May 16th, 2018 by Saurenergy From the deep bore wells the water is lifted with the help of solar-powered motor pumps and thereafter stored in tanks of 5,000-liter capacity. The pumps are fully automatic who would start and stop on their own once the tank is empty or full. In order to provide uninterrupted water supply, Odisha Public Health Engineering […] Read more
Mercure Hyderabad KCP Launches Solar Hot Water System Updated On Mon, Apr 23rd, 2018 by Saurenergy According to Mercure the installation is a step towards protecting the environment producing renewable power. The hotel has 98 square-meter space on the rooftop where they have installed solar panels to power a solar water heater requirements for its entire 128 rooms. The pump generates 10KL of water every day. Under the planet 21 initiative […] Read more
Columbia Engineers Develop Floating Solar Fuels Rig for Seawater Electrolysis Updated On Fri, Dec 29th, 2017 by Saurenergy The electrolyzer component of this device is based on a simple, membraneless design that enables efficient operation with high product purity and without active pumping of the electrolyte. In a single hour, more energy from the sun hits the Earth than all the energy used by humankind in an entire year. Imagine if the sun’s […] Read more
SOURCE Device Can Produce Up to 10 Liters of Water With the Help Solar Panels Updated On Wed, Nov 29th, 2017 by Saurenergy A standard array of two panels will cost around $4500 including installation having a life span of at least 10 years. SOURCE device by Zero Mass Water is a rooftop solar device which produces water also with the electricity. The water is produced by harvesting water vapor from the air, condensing it to liquid. The […] Read more
Ionic Solar Cell Could Provide On-Demand Water Desalination Updated On Tue, Nov 21st, 2017 by Saurenergy The use such a mechanism to manufacture a device that would directly desalinate saltwater upon exposure to sunlight. Modern solar cells, which use energy from light to generate electrons and holes that are then transported out of semiconducting materials and into external circuits for human use, have existed in one form or another for over […] Read more
Exciting New Material Uses Solar Energy to Remove Man-Made Dye Pollutants from Water Updated On Fri, Oct 6th, 2017 by Saurenergy A novel composite material has been developed by scientists in the Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI) at Swansea University which shows promise as a catalyst for the degradation of environmentallyharmful synthetic dye pollutants, which are released at a rate of nearly 300,000 tonnes a year into the world’s water. This novel, non-hazardous photocatalytic material effectively […] Read more
This new material removes water pollutants using solar power Updated On Thu, Jun 29th, 2017 by Saurenergy Researchers have developed materials capable of absorbing the visible part of the solar spectrum – other materials, such as titanium dioxide, are also able to break down dyes using solar energy, but their efficiency is limited as they only absorb higher energy, ultra-violet light. Researchers at the Swansea University in the United Kingdom have developed […] Read more
This solar paint can turn water vapor into hydrogen Updated On Thu, Jun 15th, 2017 by Saurenergy The solar paint contains a newly developed compound that acts like silica gel, which is used in sachets to absorb moisture and keep food, medicines and electronics fresh and dry. But unlike silica gel, the new material, synthetic molybdenum-sulphide, also acts as a semi-conductor and catalyses the splitting of water atoms into hydrogen and oxygen. […] Read more
Solar Irrigating: Farmers not only selling excess power but also saving ground water Updated On Mon, Jun 5th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar Pump Irrigators’ Cooperative Enterprise (SPICE), which began operating in May 2016, not only made a switch from diesel to solar pumps but also adopted net metering – selling excess power to the local electricity utility. Phodabhai Parmar, a 72-year-old farmer, sits on a charpai sipping tea as solar panels gleam in the fields behind […] Read more
