Distributed generation growing in Latin America
In the early years of the 21st century, distributed generation systems in Latin America were mainly installed off-grid in remote rural areas, writes Maria Chea, solar analyst at IHS Markit. As the El Niño phenomenon and high oil prices continued to exacerbate high electricity prices and power shortages, governments began to turn their attention to distributed generation, including PV systems, to assuage strains on their national grid networks.

Blocking resonances that eliminate warmth might increase effectiveness of next-gen solar cells
Led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory as well as the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a study of a solar-energy product with a bright future revealed a way to reduce phonons, the waves that move heat. The discovery could enhance novel hot-carrier solar cells, which convert sunshine to electrical energy much more effectively than conventional solar cells by harnessing photogenerated fee providers before they lose energy to heat.

First glance of polarons creating in an appealing next-gen power material
Polarons are short lived distortions in a material's atomic latticework that develop around a moving electron in a couple of trillionths of a 2nd, then promptly disappear. As ephemeral as they are, they impact a material's actions, as well as might even be the reason that solar cells made with lead crossbreed perovskites attain astonishingly high effectiveness in the lab.
