Scientists in China found that capsaicin, the natural compound responsible for a chili pepper’s spicy flavor, can also act as a ‘secret ingredient’ in perovskite solar cells, making them bothContinue Reading
A new research from the US Energy Department laboratory indicates that next-generation perovskite solar cells could be far less expensive, and far more efficient, than any other PV currently availableContinue Reading
Solar Paint – an innovative paint that not only generates electricity but still works as a normal paint. It can turn not only a roof, but an entire building intoContinue Reading
Just imagine how much solar electricity could be generated around the world if all the windows helped to power the buildings they were installed in. Researchers in Australia are hotContinue Reading
Once an expensive curiosity, solar is now cost competitive and set to go lower. It couldn’t come at a better time. As the clean electricity source surges in popularity, it’sContinue Reading
Solar panels today rely on silicon to generate electricity from the sun. The technology has been around for nearly 50 years. Over the past half century, the cost of siliconContinue Reading
UK perovskite solar firm Oxford PV said on Thursday it has achieved a 28% efficiency for a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell, beating its own world record. The announcement comes aContinue Reading
Houses and office buildings account for 75% of electricity use and windows of these buildings leak energy, so in order to make them energy efficient we need to plug thisContinue Reading
