As electricity costs increase in Texas and Houston, more residents turn to solar power. Solar energy is the fastest growing energy source in Texas, after rising 70% year-over-year in May, according to Texas Electric Reliability Council, which supplies 90% of the state’s energy. . “By 2050, the world’s population will consume 20% more energy than […]
Now that low cost renewable energy is here, policy makers are scouting about for the most effective ways to stretch those clean kilowatts. The hunt is especially urgent in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, where emergency energy planning is under way if Russia turns off the spigot on its gas pipelines. With that in mind, […]
Solar energy is very important as it is a clean and renewable energy source. Therefore, this means that it will not harm the earth in any way. Also, it is available every day. In the same way, it does not cause any type of contamination. What are 10 advantages of solar energy? Advantages of Solar […]
A very small instrument has a big job ahead of it: measuring all Earth-directed energy coming from the Sun and helping scientists understand how that energy influences our planet’s severe weather, climate change and other global forces. About the size of a shoebox or gaming console, the Compact Total Irradiance Monitor (CTIM) […]
On the 11th (Wednesday), DGIST announced that the research team led by Professor Choi Jong-min of the Department of Energy Engineering at DGIST (President: Kuk Yang) enhanced light absorption capacities and photocurrent generation of solar cells by implementing a nano-structured electrode on the back of the perovskite quantum dot solar cell, which is in […]
How does solar energy make electricity? When light energy from the sun strikes a photovoltaic solar cell, it energizes the cell and causes electrons to ‘escape’ from the atoms inside the semiconductor wafer. The loose electrons are moved by an electric field surrounding the wafer, and this movement creates an electric current. How does solar […]
