Thanks to the clear and sunny sky over week 19, Germany reached another stunning milestone in its history. Solar power was the dominant source of electricity generation in week 19. It made up of close […]
The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of utility-scale solar PV and onshore wind have dropped down so extremely that they become the cheapest new-build power generation source for two-thirds of the world population, now. Those […]
The past decade was the take-off time for solar power technology and it is believed that this will continue in the forthcoming decade. This is only thanks to drastic cost reduction in the price of […]
The bifacial module is a type of solar module that can capture and harvest sunlight from both sides of a module side. According to the Wood Mackenzie Consultancy, bifacial modules will make up 17.2% of […]
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 […]
Sono Motors is planning to embed “interdigitated back contact” (IBC) technology, in order to extend their Solar Car range. According to Sono Motor, thanks to the new technology, 248 solar cells can be seamlessly integrated […]
The global energy demand is rapidly increasing and the necessity of adding more energy generation capacities from renewable energy sources are also increasing (as a new capacity or replacing the old sources). Solar energy is […]
For the first time in the history of Germany, the share of renewable electricity generation into the electricity mix of the country has exceeded from the share of fossil fuels, in 2019. Over the previous […]
Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) is one of the most complicated ways to produce solar panels. However, due to its effect on increasing the “efficiency” of the modules, it reduces the final product price and therefore, […]
Interested in the history of alternative large scale batteries? Did you know that World’s first Compressed Air Energy Storage (Huntorf’s CAES) plant was built in 1978? It was designed to store extra energy in Elsfleth, […]
