Boston MA (SPX) Jul 17, 2022 Perovskites hold promise for creating solar panels that could be easily deposited onto most surfaces, including flexible and textured ones. These materials would also be lightweight, cheap to produce, and as efficient as today’s leading photovoltaic materials, which are mainly silicon. They’re the subject of increasing research and […]
Why solar energy is not popular in Malaysia? These are the World Photovoltaic Power Potential study by the World Bank. Another reason that solar panels generate less energy in Malaysia is because our skies have a lot of clouds and the efficiency of solar panels drops significantly if they don’t receive direct sunlight. Is Malaysia […]
California has been at the forefront of the push for solar power, building the largest solar market in the U.S. More than 20 years and 1.3 million rooftops later, the bill is coming. Starting in 2006, the state, focused on encouraging people to go solar, offered subsidies to homeowners who installed solar panels but didn’t […]
Why are solar panels not everywhere? The available grid infrastructure was built to operate with uniform levels of electricity generation, and these grids may not be able to cope with the inconsistency of solar energy. Another factor that reduces the competitiveness of solar energy is how often electricity is produced; also known as its capacity […]
Despite the significant growth in installed solar capacity, the contribution of solar energy to electricity generation in the country has not grown at the same pace. In 2019-20, for example, solar energy contributed only 3.6% (50 billion units) of India’s total electricity generation of 1390 BU. Does solar energy cause pollution? Solar energy technologies and […]
Solar roofing panels that can be printed on steel used in building construction are being studied in a new three-year collaboration between Swansea University researchers and Tata Steel U.K. The technology, called “Active Buildings,” is being researched to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and to ease demand on the British national power grid, according to […]
