Solar supporting peacekeeping in DR Congo
A report by the Powering Peace organization states UN missions in the Democratic Republic of Congo could reduce expense and pollution by using off-grid solar to power operations instead of diesel generators. Adding a 200 kW solar system with 200 kW/450 kWh of energy storage would reduce diesel consumption 80% for 10-year savings of almost $2.6 million, states the group.

USTC makes development in solar cell performance
A study team led by Prof. CHEN Tao and also Prof. ZHU Changfei, and also their partner Prof. HAO Xiaojing at UNSW, created a hydrothermal deposition approach for the synthesis of antimony selenosulfide for solar cell applications. With this absorber material, the solar cell break the 10% benchmark performance obstacle. This outcome has actually been released in Nature Energy entitled "Hydrothermal deposition of antimony selenosulfide thin films enables solar cells with 10% performance".
