Semi-transparent solar cells that can be incorporated into window glass of buildings are a “game-changer” that could transform the architecture paradigms, urban planning, and power generation grids. A team of researchers from the ARC Centre […]
Organic solar cells (OSC) are said to be lightweight, nontoxic and semi-transparent but they have low efficiency and they are not very reliable in long term use. Last year Ubiquitous Energy was able to produce […]
Austria can increase the solar share into its electricity mix by several options; building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), agriculture plus photovoltaic (agrophotovoltaics), road-integrated photovoltaic, floating photovoltaic (FPV), and vehicle integrated photovoltaic (VIPV). It is important to note […]
