In a new study, researchers from Ritsumeikan University, Japan, have now developed an eco-friendly method that eliminates the use of toxic cadmium in the production process to produce cost-effective, efficient, and eco-friendly solar cells. Credit: Ritsumeikan University Climate change, one of the major global concerns today, has made it clear that fossil fuels are detrimental […]
A team of researchers uses the experience of a participatory strategy to create and launch Generation Solar, a citizen science initiative for research and innovation in solar energy. Generation Solar has been coordinated by the Science, Communication and Society Study Centre at Pompeu Fabra University (CCS-UPF) within the framework of the European GRECO project […]
How do I choose the best solar power? How to choose your solar modules in 3 steps Determine solar panel efficiency and compare to industry average of 16-18% Compare solar panel manufacturer warranties to the industry average of 10-25 years. Compare cost to relative efficiency – Efficiency is important, but the most efficient panels aren’t […]

1. Solar energy: The energy produced by the sun in the form of heat and light energy is called solar energy. Solar radiation can be converted into electricity through solar cells (photovoltaic cells). Photovoltaic cells convert solar radiation directly into electricity through silicon solar cells. What are the 2 types of solar energy? There are […]
The city of Boundiali. Image: Saft. A lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) made by Saft will be installed at a 37.5MWp solar PV power plant in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It is the African country’s first-ever large-scale solar project and the batteries will be used to smooth and integrate the variable output of the […]
