Solar Energy Technology
Bifacial modules have achieved rapid growth in recent years. The global installed capacity of bifacial has been rising from only 97 MW in 2016 to 7000 MW in 2019. Bifacial modules will account for 17.2% […]
Full-size “Interdigitated Back Contact” (IBC) bifacial solar module development has led to panels that are last longer and higher efficiency. The panel can absorb light from both sides, back & front. The prototype utilizes bifacial […]
The conductivity of semiconductors (Silicon & Germanium) can be adjusted by putting a small number of impurities into their crystal structures. This impurity leads to better conductivity among semiconductors. Impurities based on the number of […]
In the table above, we introduced the most efficient solar panels in 2019 sorted by their efficiencies. Although we put a lot of effort into limiting the list to “commercialized” 60-cell solar panels, in order […]
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 […]
At the end of this 3-post series story, we want to explain the other two remained technical challenges of Heliogen’s CSP. The third and fourth challenges are related to the claim of Heligen’s CEO and […]
In our last post, SE 773, we mentioned what Heliogen wants to build and now we want to indicate how they have made a dubious claim by this CSP prototype. Their prototype has four technical […]
Blackouts affected millions of people’s lives in 35 California counties. This has now motivated Californians to find solutions for supplying their electricity demands in future incidents. Blackouts enacted by utilities Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) […]
During the last decade, renewable energy has gradually allocated a significant part of the newly installed global electricity generation to itself. Initially, for its persistent reduction in the costs such as solar and wind and […]
A team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have come up with a new mechanism to speed up the charging of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for EVs. The key component […]
