We have seen several types of solar panels, but not a transparent or near-transparent solar cell, until now. Scientists from the Tohoku University in Japan have built a near-invisible solar cell using indium tin oxide (ITO) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) as a see-through electrode and
Researchers throughout the world are working tirelessly to find new ways to store excessive heat or energy. It is due to the worldwide green initiative that urges everyone to switch to renewable energy. Now, the Finnish company Polar Night Energy has come up with the
As a part of the nationally determined contribution (NDC), India aims to increase around 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, with a target to reach 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. India wants to attain this sustainable energy goal to combat
Solar panels work best with direct sunlight. However, researchers at Stanford University have come up with an advanced solution dubbed AGILE (Axially Graded Index Lens). It is basically a micropyramid lens that is claimed to triple the light hitting capacity in a solar panel as
Italian studio Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA) and architect Italo Rota have recently unveiled the Feeling the Energy project. This new project transforms Botanical Garden in Milan into an energy park with 500 meters of digitally bent copper pipe. This project aims to explore various forms
In the current tumultuous times, it has become highly crucial to swap thermal energy generation powered by oil, coal, or methane with zero-emission, clean renewable energy. However, most renewable power sources stop providing much-needed electricity after the sun goes down or when the wind stops
Many companies across the globe are now switching to solar power for generating clean energy. Scientists are also studying more about other potential uses of solar panels. Recently, a team of researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia has managed to
State-owned renewable energy developer SJVN has recently commissioned Tata Power Solar Systems Limited to develop India’s largest solar engineering procurement and construction (EPC) order for a 1 GW project worth ₹5,500 crores. It’s a 1000 MW solar power project that will be set up in
Idénergie, a renewable energy clean-tech private company based in Montreal, Québec, has designed an innovative portable river turbine that can power off-grid properties such as vacation homes, campers, cabins, and RVs, as well as remote villages. The best part is that its installation does not
With a claim to undergo clean energy transformation, Greece’s biggest oil refiner Hellenic Petroleum (HelPe) has set up Europe’s largest bifacial solar farm in Kozani, Macedonia. The 204-megawatt solar farm with two-sided panels will supply power to around 75,000 households. It will also connect to
