Singapore plans to meet 28% of its peak power demand from solar power by 2030. The country also wants to extend its target and achieve to supply 43% of its power demand from solar power […]
Colored solar panels have always been attractive. Using normal solar panels covering large spaces with their black or blue colors is less than ideal by the homeowners, designers, and architects Use of PV panels as […]
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have come up with 21 square centimeters mini perovskite panels with an efficiency of 18.13%. This is the size of a tile and could be considered as […]
Introduction During my master in Engineering of Solar Energy at University of Évora, I had the opportunity to do my Erasmus at Utrecht University, in Netherlands and develop my research project that the goal was […]
Students of the Morocco National School of Applied Sciences incorporation with experts from the National School of Architecture have designed an ecological detached house which is called Sunimplant. Sunimplant is a groundbreaking eco-building that was […]
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 […]
Groospeter Tower as an example of combining renewables, solar and geothermal, supplies a part of its energy demand from the sun and earth’s heat. Moreover, it utilizes its envelope such as facades and rooftops to […]
Most recent researches have focused on the production of the transparent solar cell (TSC) based on organic materials such as a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Although they are good candidates to produce very thin solar […]
