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 […]
Smart window is not a new idea. This idea was proposed to provide welfare and economic benefits for occupants of residential and commercial buildings. But scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed […]
One of the main differences between renewable electricity generation and fossil fuel-based electricity generation is its ability to produce energy locally. It is an outstanding property of renewable energy, especially solar energy, which has led […]
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 […]
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 […]
