In their quest to improve our planet with solar energy, scientists are exploring ways to make solar cells more efficient. One approach involves concentrating sunlight onto the cells. However, aContinue Reading
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) researchers have created a prototype for completely scalable all-perovskite tandem solar panels. With an aperture area of 12.25 square centimeters, these modules offer an efficiencyContinue Reading
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), IntriEnergy Inc., an Italian solar technology business, has been given Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection in India for their technology that boosts solarContinue Reading
Most commercially available solar panels are between 15 per cent and 22 per cent efficient. The efficiency of panels degrades over time as they are exposed to the elements ofContinue Reading
The Indian government is funding research at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) and state-owned engineering firm Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) to develop high-efficiency solar cells evenContinue Reading
One of the most annoying things about smartphones is just how quickly their lithium-ion batteries drain. It feels like there’s an obvious solution, right above our heads: the sun offersContinue Reading
Scientists in China found that capsaicin, the natural compound responsible for a chili pepper’s spicy flavor, can also act as a ‘secret ingredient’ in perovskite solar cells, making them bothContinue Reading
Researchers at the Multimedia University of Kenya have claimed the Earth’s magnetic field affects solar panel performance in the same manner fields from power lines, transformers and other electrical equipmentContinue Reading
