Solar panels are known to sustain themselves for a long time without requiring much maintenance and effort. However, this is only applicable to areas receiving adequate rainfall throughout the year. Due...

What is the difference between nominal voltage, Voc, Vmp, Isc, and Imp in the case of a solar panel? Which parameters are important to check before the installation of solar panels? Different...

Using renewable energy sources like wind and solar for power generation has helped in reducing carbon footprints and made power available to non-electrified remote areas. A Wind Solar hybrid power system...

This solar day lamp with battery backup can be used in offices, homes, shops, warehouses, temples, etc. It offers a cost-effective way of harnessing solar energy. It is simple to manufacture...

Present-day commercial silicon solar cells have about 22 per cent efficiency. One of the most efficient ways to increase photovoltaic performance is integrating heliotropism, that is, the ability to track the...

If successful, space-based solar systems can be sustainable and inexhaustible long-term solutions for meeting power requirements for the entire world. Solar panel arrays have been used to power space stations and satellites...

Although carbon-neutral initiatives are increasing, without effective implementation, the world target of reaching zero hunger by 2030 will not be possible. Technology has become an indispensable part of our lives, but we...

Energy shortage and clean water scarcity are two key challenges for global sustainable development. The concept of simultaneous production of clean water and electricity by solar energy has been recently investigated...

Indian Railways is planning to become the world’s first hundred per cent green operator within the next ten years. Several developments in the past decade are helping reduce dependence on non-renewable sources...

Clear solar cells in greenhouse roofs could generate electricity while plants grow below. Because the visible and the infrared (IR) regions of light take up about 47 and 51 per cent of...
