Solar Technology & PV R&D News

Revolutionary perovskite solar modern technology has established a brand-new globe record for the amount of the sunlight's energy that can be exchanged electrical energy by a solitary solar cell.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have created a brand-new family members of cathodes with the prospective to change the pricey cobalt-based cathodes generally located in today's lithium-ion batteries that power electrical lorries and customer electronics.

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and also the University of New South Wales attained a new world-record performance for two-junction solar cells, producing a cell with two light-absorbing layers that transforms 32.9% of sunshine into electrical power.

Swift Solar has safeguarded greater than USD 8 million in Series Seed 2 funding, with an additional USD 1.5 million anticipated to close soon.

A global study group including Professor Federico Rosei of the Institut nationwide de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has shown a novel procedure to modify the framework as well as residential or commercial properties of graphene.

During a year unlike any other, Solar Power World proceeded working hard to bring solar installers, designers and also manufacturers the functions and also information they needed to do their jobs much better. Without meetings to participate in for chances to learn more about the latest items as well as fads in the sector, SPW editors recognized it was more crucial than ever before to maintain viewers up-to-date with prompt posts.

A team of researchers from Lancaster University in the UK have developed an entire brand-new method to save power from the Sun for numerous months at a time, with the alternative of releasing it as needed in the form of warmth.

Nanomaterials researchers in Finland, the United States and China have developed a color atlas for 466 distinct varieties of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Design solutions business Solar Support has actually presented a diagnostic equipment maintenance program that uses analytics to evaluate the wellness of main inverters in utility-scale PV systems. Backed by 22 years of inverter and power electronic devices repairing, the program supports both anticipating as well as corrective O&M.
