Maximizing the potential of PV irrigation in Spain’s ‘Sea of Plastic’
Spanish researchers have developed an analytical model to optimize the operation of PV water pumping systems. They say simultaneously irrigating different parts of a farm could help minimize costs and maximize energy use. The model was tested on an olive farm divided into four zones in the Spanish province of Almería.

Ultra-fast electron dimension gives important findings for the solar industry
Using a new method, physicists from TU Freiberg, together with researchers from Berkeley and Hamburg, are for the very first time evaluating at the femtosecond range the processes in a version system for natural solar cells This can be utilized to develop high-performance as well as reliable solar cells. Trick to this are ultra-fast flashes of light, with which the team led by Dr. Friedrich Roth operates at FLASH in Hamburg, the globe's initial free-electron laser in the X-ray area.

Research reveals factors limiting the voltage of polycrystalline CdSeTe solar cells
So far, solar cells based on polycrystalline cadmium selenide telluride (CdSeTe) have actually shown some crucial constraints, despite their low construction costs as well as useful qualities. Most notably, these solar cells display higher voltage losses than other mature photovoltaic or pv innovations (crystalline silicon, for example) as well as this considerably hinders their efficiency and also performance.

Enhancing the performance of solar cells with 'graphene armor'
A group of scientists, connected with UNIST has actually thought of a novel electrode that might substantially boost the security of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), one of the most promising prospect for the next generation solar cells because of their low cost and high power conversion effectiveness. This is due to the fact that putting a protection layer in between the metal-based electrode as well as the perovskite movie can stop metal-induced deterioration and that graphene, thus a layer, can effectively subdue the diffusion of steels and also halide ions.
