Rice University engineers say they’ve solved a long-standing conundrum in making stable, efficient solar panels out of halide perovskites. It took finding the right solvent design to apply a 2D top layer of desired composition and thickness without destroying the 3D bottom one (or vice versa). Such a cell would turn more sunlight into electricity […]
A solar panel that moves with the sun was showcased at Bishop James Mahoney (BJM) High School in Saskatoon on Thursday. The device dubbed the Smartflower Microgrid (MG) is an intelligent solar-powered energy system that unfolds as the sun rises, follows the sun to maximize the energy absorbed, and folds back up during the evening. […]
