The innovative 3D design removes many of the manufacturing process steps required by existing photovoltaics (PV) modules By H S Rao London: An innovative 3D solar-cell design with a radically different architecture which drives down the costs of cell manufacture may define the future of renewab

Bridge to India report says the share of imported modules is still 90%, while domestic manufacturing is stagnating as developers wait for two-year duty period to end. BENGALURU: One year after India imposed an additional import duty on solar cells and modules to stimulate local production and r

Electricity produced by cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic modules is the lowest-cost electricity in the solar industry, and now undercuts fossil fuel-based sources in many regions of the world. This is due to recent efficiency gains brought about by alloying selenium into the CdTe absorber, w

Sistine Solar, a Boston-based design firm, is making big strides with the concept of rooftop solar panels with a customized look. The MIT startup has created a “solar skin” product that allows solar panels to have a distinguished look that c Solar Skin an either draw attention to or minimize the l

While solar panels offer a clean source of renewable energy, they are typically mounted on a fixed frame and only optimally oriented towards the sun during specific hours of the day. Scientists have designed a metal frame that increases the amount of sunlight captured by a solar cell, enhancing

As the planet suffers the consequences of climate change, rising temperatures, and other phenomena, people are doing what they can in various attempts to revitalize the condition of the Earth. Among these efforts, the use of renewable energy and clean energy is by far the most significant step t

Dye-sensitised solar cells hold a lot of promise because of possible cost and environmental benefits A novel process to improve the performance of Dye-Sensitised Solar Cells (DSSC) has been developed by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. Dye-sensitised solar cells hold

Most efficient Solar Cells and Panels in 2019

Solar cells are the building blocks of solar panels. They do the work of converting light into electrical current. Scientists, including one of Indian origin, have discovered a low-cost and sustainable way to build a solar cell using bacteria, that can harvest energy from light even under overca
