Glass has been an important material in architecture since the first glass windows were used in Roman Egypt in 100 AD. As technology has developed, glass has now become the predominant facade material all around […]
This is an old report, but still very very and VERY relevant dream … Back in 2014 A team of researchers at Michigan State University developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed […]
SolarEdition as a Norwegian renewable energy influencer organization has signed an agreement with the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (EU PVSEC) to collaborate on media partnership during the 38th round of this international conference. The […]
Overview There are two types of solar thermal systems passive systems and active systems. The passive system refers to when the sun shines through the windows and warms up the environment. Some buildings in different […]
Solar energy is the most abundant source of renewable energy. But one of the main challenges of harnessing solar energy is that its harnessing technologies, photovoltaic modules (PV modules), need more terrestrial space. However capturing […]
Transparent solar windows are a form of solar windows that have a light-harvesting layer embedded within them. A group of scientists from South Korea’s Incheon National University has come up with a low-cost transparent solar […]
We know that conventional solar panels convert visible and infrared (IR) parts of sunlight into electricity. Due to the intermittent nature of solar energy and the existence of more cloudy days than sunny days in […]
Perovskite solar cells have emerged as the next generation of photovoltaic cells since their inception in 2009. The efficiency of perovskite solar cells has increased from 3.8% in 2009 to 25.2% in 2019. These solar […]
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 […]
