Every August and September the unmistakable pungent aroma of roasting green chile permeates the air across New Mexico and neighboring states. This delectable staple of regional cuisine is green in color, but roasting the chile pepper to deepen the flavor and make the inedible skin easier to remove is hardly environmentally friendly. […]
White Plains takes advantage of the summer heat by installing the city’s largest solar power project. The project includes nine variations of solar panels, ranging from canopies to rooftops to ground installations at multiple sites. The amount of energy expected will be enough to power more than 700 homes each year — tripling the amount […]
Panels built using advanced ‘Interdigitated back contact’ or IBC cells are the most efficient, followed by heterojunction cells (HJT), half-cut and multi-busbar monocrystalline PERC cells, shingled cells and finally mono 60-cell ( 4-5 busbar) cells. What are the two types of solar system? Both Types of Solar Energy. Photovoltaic solar technology, which directly converts sunlight […]
What are the characteristics of solar system? Key Concepts: The solar system consists of the Sun, planets, dwarf planets, moon, comets, asteroids, meteorites, dust, atomic particles, electromagnetic radiation, and magnetic fields. … The Sun is a star that produces light and heat energy for the solar system through thermonuclear reactions inside it. How did the […]
Lithium-sulfur batteries have for some time promised to be the successor to lithium-ion batteries, as they offer a fantastic capacity-the amount of electric charge a battery can deliver at a given voltage-at least in principle. But so far in practice, they have not at all lived up to their promise. Two opposing approaches, both […]
Scientists from the Institute for Open and Transdisciplinary Research Initiatives at Osaka University discovered a new feature of solar cells made from antimony sulfiodide:sulfide composite they termed the wavelength-dependent photovoltaic effect (WDPE). The team determined that changing the color of incident light from visible to ultraviolet induced a reversible change in the […]
