A team of scientists from the Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory developed a new characterization tool that allowed them to gain unique insight into a possible alternative material for solar cells.
The majority of space satellites have been powered by photovoltaic cells that have the potential to convert sunlight into electricity. Vulnerability to a few kinds of radiation existing in orbit could harm the devices, thereby deteriorating their performance and restricting their lifetime.
Shade, dirt, or aging considerably reduce the yield of large photovoltaic facilities. Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and partners from science and industry have now launched the Solar Park 2.0 project to reduce these losses.
It is no secret that society’s reliance on nonrenewable fossil fuels has resulted in the current global energy and climate crisis. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum-based fuel emissions are significant contributors to air pollution and, as a result, global warming.
Renewable energy is a key technology in the 21st Century that is addressing resource shortages and climate change. Now, a new paper in the journal IET Renewable Power Generation has considered the reliability of sustainable energy microgrids which utilize renewable energy technologies.
Scientists from France’s Institut de Recherche de Chimie Paris have reviewed the current state-of-the-art of glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy, an emerging technique in the field of PSC research. Their research has been published in the journal Small Methods.
Empa researchers have established a new efficiency record of 22.2% for flexible CIGS solar cells on the polymer film, one year after declaring an efficiency record.
The great inventor Thomas Edison once said, "So long as the sun shines, man will be able to develop power in abundance." His wasn't the first great mind to marvel at the notion of harnessing the power of the sun; for centuries inventors have been pondering and perfecting the way to harvest solar energy.
With carbon dioxide emissions reaching a record high in 2021, clean energy is more crucial than ever. Solar energy is one such fossil-fuel alternative.
