Researchers have unveiled a new type of 100% transparent solar panel that could turn smartphone screens, windows or other transparent surfaces into generators of clean energy. Vice Motherboard reports that Michigan State University has designed a glass solar concentrator that can be embedded in any transparent surface, from your home window to your smartphone screen, … Read more
Different concepts an idea; launch solar highways. Solar roads. Wattway in Japan, France and the United States. France. Georgia. Japan. China. Bike lanes can also generate clean energy. Half a dozen solar highways change the vision of infrastructure. The race for functional and sustainable projects continues, now the routes are presented that can not only be … Read more
We spoke with the distribution company SunFields Europe, they clarify this and other doubts about the different guarantees and qualities of solar panels. The acquisition of solar panels has increased significantly in recent years, due, in part, to the new regulatory framework that encourages photovoltaic self-consumption, but also thanks to the growing interest of companies … Read more
Stanford engineers have developed low-cost urea batteries. A new high-performance battery that could provide a low-cost storage solution for solar energy, which is abundant during the day but must be stored for use at night. A battery with urea, an element commonly found in fertilizers and mammalian urine, could provide us with a cheap way … Read more
Armor is a French company that manufactures thin-film solar panels. One of its products, named ASCA, uses semiconductor compounds based on organic polymers printed on flexible films. Its flexibility makes ASCA mountable on curved surfaces, something traditional solar panels cannot do. In tests, it can be wound and unwound 50,000 without loss of performance. According … Read more
