Researchers at Stockholm University have for the first time been able to study the surface of a copper-zinc catalyst when carbon dioxide is reduced to methanol, the results are published in the scientific journal Science. A better knowledge of the catalytic process and the possibility of finding even more efficient materials opens the door […]
Like so many other things, electricity from the electricity grid is becoming more expensive and increased by 4.3% last year. But solar-based electricity continues to get cheaper. The cost of housing solar cells is now about 8 cents per. kilowatt hour (kWh) against a national average of 10.6 cents per. kWh for mains power. And […]
The development of a set of testing protocols for perovskite solar cells intended for use outside Earth’s atmosphere could lead to the devices being installed permanently, and even manufactured, on the moon. May 5, 2022 Max Hall The self-healing properties of perovskite solar cells, plus the fact that their well-publicized stability and yield issues are […]
What is the biggest problem with solar energy? Intermediation. One of the biggest problems with solar power technology is that it only works while the sun is shining. This means that night and cloudy days can disrupt supply. What are the three main problems with solar energy? Disadvantages of Solar Energy Cost. The initial cost […]
CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WRIC) – Chesterfield will soon get a dose of green energy following the approval of a 5-megawatt solar project in the rural western end of the county. The Board of Supervisors voted to approve the project permit on April 27, revoking an earlier decision by the county Planning Commission, which recommended that the […]
Can solar energy be stored for future use? Solar panels have one task: they collect sunlight and convert it into electricity. But I can only produce that energy when the sun is shining. That is why the ability to store solar energy for later use is important: it helps maintain a balance between electricity production […]
