When it comes to harnessing the power of the wind, we probably first think of wind turbines spinning on mountains or offshore. In fact, the use of wind energy has a history of thousands of years. Before the invention of the steam engine, wind energy was used as an important power for ship navigation, drinking …
Wind power has been around for thousands of years, and the Earth's free and abundant winds were and are used for navigation, grinding grain, and pumping water. Only recently has humanity begun to harness this energy to generate electricity, and it already accounts for a substantial and growing proportion of our electricity supply. At present, …
Wind energy is being used more and more. Do you know its advantages and disadvantages? Read More »
Southern power grid hainan power grid companies to invest 6.76 million yuan to build the first "scenery ChuChong change" centralized charge of hainan province officially put into operation recently in haikou coconut sea avenue in power station, magnified by the wind, light, store can complementary effect, electric vehicle charging orderly and coordinated control solutions, form …
As the rapid rise of large silicon wafer formats over the past year has demonstrated, advances in one area of photovoltaic systems often impose new demands on another. At present, anti-reflective coatings (ARCs) have been widely used in the module production of front glass panels. The use of this technology also presents a new challenge …
A new design of anti-reflective coating for multi-junction solar cells appears Read More »
Scientists at the German research centre Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH have created a heterojunction silicon solar cell that has no transparent conducting oxide (TCO) at its front contacts. TCO is a transparent and conductive material that has been used for decades on both sides of contact crystalline silicon (C-Si) heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells to provide transverse …
Singapore-based Maxeon Solar Technologies says it has found a new way to install photovoltaic panels on the roofs of commercial buildings. The company creates frameless, thin and light solar panels that can be "glued" directly to the roof, enabling buildings that cannot support traditional installations to be fitted with photovoltaic cells. "The Maxeon Air technology …
