Highlights Economically speaking, solar-wind hybrid has the potential to save about 7-10% in capital investments owing to the synergies The potential reduction in energy from the hybrid power plant is likely to be in the range 2-3% below the cumulative…
Flexible solar panels or rather cells are an innovative solar technology that is largely at the research level currently. They are a lightweight solution to conventional solar panels which are bulky and may often be hard to install. In conventional…
In urban areas, there are a number of tall buildings which have so many window panes on it. Imagine a scenario where all the windows are able to produce solar power with the windows still serving their purpose of letting…
Multi-junction solar cells are solar cells with more than one p–n junction. Each of these junctions is made of different semiconductor materials. Conventional solar PV cells comprise just one layer of semiconductor cells, each with one p-n junction. Yes, multi-junction cells are…
Yes, there are, and they are called self-cleaning panels. We all know that the high solar radiation in deserts makes them suitable for installing solar panels. But deserts are also dusty which does not bode well for solar panels. Did…
In desert sands, snowy surfaces as well as on water, a considerable portion of sunlight is reflected back. If a single-faced solar panel is used in such places, a significant portion of sunlight is just lost. Today, there are solar…
Just like Wi-Fi, Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) is a high-speed wireless communication technology. Instead of using radio frequency, light is the medium of transmission. Harald Haas, the person who coined the term ’Li-Fi’, has demonstrated how solar cells can receive data…
Greenhouse is a building with a roof and sides made of glass or polycarbonate sheets, used for growing plants that need warmth and protection. In the case of solar-powered greenhouse projects, the roof is used to place PV panels for…
Often, solar customers hesitate to go solar due to the visual impact typical blue or black panels could have over their home or building rooftop. The claim is that the panels just didn’t go well with the roof or was…
