Solfocus, whose technology focuses 500 times the normal sunlight in small super-efficient solar materials, just make a new module that has the greatest energy density and capture capacity of any photovoltaic system available today.
We are not sure if this is true, but the new module (1100S) is impressive. It has an efficiency of 25%, much [...]
IMOMEC, associated laboratory of IMEC, located on the Hasselt University campus; developed a method to stabilize the morphology of nano-solar cells, and it resulted an impressive improvement.
With these stable solar cells efficiency can be compared with the standard ideals of organic solar cells. This discovery paves the way for commercial solar cells with a lifespan [...]
These new solar cells, with the size of a 12 letter from the computer (as in Microsoft Word when you use font size 12), are being tested to supply energy to microscopic machines.
Researchers from the University of South Florida said that these are the smallest solar cells in the world; it takes 20 aligned cells [...]
The solar energy program Risø has been conducting research in polymer solar cells, an inexpensive alternative to existing silicon solar cells. The investigation is now in a late stage a demonstration plant was built at Risø DTU.
Since the start of Risø’s research on solar cells based on polymeric materials has had a strong emphasis on [...]
Scientists at the University of South Wales have imposed a new world record by creating the first silicon solar cell that reaches an efficiency of 25%.
The team leader, Prof. Martin Green, said that his solar cell is 6% more efficient than any previous technology. This record is very close to the theoretical limit of 29% [...]
In solar thermal technology, the sun’s energy is used to heat a substance that produces steam to drive a turbine.
Google has developed a prototype of new technology mirrors that could halve the cost of building a solar thermal plant. If the tests yield positive results, the product could be ready in one to three years.
The [...]
By using two different types of chemicals to create the features recorded on the scales of microns and nanometers, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a surface treatment that increases the light absorption of silicon photovoltaic solar cells in two complementary ways.
The surface treatment which increases absorption both by the capture [...]
It applies to facilities registered after September 29, 2008 and continues the policy of photovoltaic energy development.
There are two distinct types of facilities, floor and ceiling, and establishes a fee of 32 cents / kWh for ground and 32 and 34 cent / kWh for roof.
Spain is the most supportive country of Europe for the [...]
In Tunisia and Morocco water desalination plants will be constructed, operating on solar energy thanks to the efforts of researchers from the Instituto Tecnologico de Canarias.
A total of 5 built desalination plants that are funded by the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation and is supervised by the local population coordinated by the ITC.
These plants that [...]
Like all renewable energies, photovoltaic technology of converting sunlight directly into electricity is a decentralized energy source, clean, inexhaustible.
Currently photovoltaic energy is already competitive to electrify sites relatively distant from power lines, for example, rural housing, water pumping, signage, lighting, emergency equipment, etc..
There are still many places in the world, villages are not electrified. Photovoltaic [...]
