One of the biggest deterrents to more residents not investing in solar power is the fact that the installation process costs nearly half of what the house may cost according to the geographical location. Although financing is available through many companies, it could still take you more than 10 years Read more »
Solar panels are quite expensive and inefficient, well that’s true a decade ago or so. Solar technology has grown significantly for the past years, solar cells are way more energy-efficient and manufacturing solar panels now cheaper with innovations in our technology. From the year 2000, prices on solar panels have dropped Read more »
We all know that solar power generated by solar cells is one of the cleanest energy source we can tap into. But for the solar technology to get to where it is today, it has required huge amount of energy, ironically most of which from fossil fuels.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have created flower-like structures out of germanium sulfide (GeS) – a semiconductor material – that have extremely thin petals with an enormous surface area. The GeS flower holds promise for next-generation energy storage devices and solar cells.
The artificial leaf is a device designed to mimic nature’s photosynthesis. Using nano technology, scientists have developed an advanced solar cell made out of semiconductors, with the size of a typical playing card. It basically looks like an ordinary chip, but with the ability to generate energy with sunlight and Read more »
Is our technology ready for this huge leap? Harnessing the power of the sun from space has long been talked about. But it was seen to be very expensive and that technology is not yet there. Today, NASA believes the technology is here. NASA will be funding Artemis Innovation Management Read more »
Kodak is in the process of trying to reinvent itself through flexible (thin-film) Solar Cells. Â It may be a long shot, but they are hoping to use its existing film manufacturing equipment to produce thin-film solar cells. Kodak, the camera and film maker, has filled for bankruptcy recently this January Read more »
