Cost effective perovskite cells with a structured anti-reflective layer by Staff Writers Warsaw, Poland (SPX) Oct 11, 2023 Perovskite-based solar cells, widely considered as successors to the currently dominant silicon cells, due to their simple and cost-effective production process combined with their excellent performance, are now the subject of in-depth research. A team […]
What are solar problems? What are common failures in solar panels? The most common long-term failures are: Hot spots due to manufacturing defects in the cell, hot cells caused by high current flow in the de-energized state, potential induced degradation (PID) caused by leakage current to ground, low cell conversion rate due to cracks in […]
Sunny Albania turns to solar power to fuel development By Briseida Mema and Camille Bouissou Karavasta, Albania (AFP) Oct 10, 2023 Along southwestern Albania’s coastline, the sun shines bright — warming the 234,828 new solar panels at the Karavasta power station that will be connected to the country’s energy grid in the coming […]
What is a circular economy in layman’s terms? What is the circular economy model in the energy sector? One of the key elements of the circular economy in the energy sector is the change from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass. These sources are abundant, clean and resilient, […]
India must rapidly scale solar to reach renewable targets: study by AFP Staff Writers Bangkok (AFP) Oct 3, 2023 India needs to increase its solar energy capacity by 36 percent a year for at least the next half-decade to meet its energy mix goals, an analysis said Tuesday. It also urgently needs grid […]
Toward high-efficiency thin crystalline silicon solar cells by Staff Writers Washington DC (SPX) Oct 02, 2023 Solar power has become indispensable in our global pursuit of clean energy and sustainability. Today, about 95 percent of solar cells are made using crystalline silicon (c-Si). Most commercial designs employ a c-Si photoactive layer with a […]
