Sunshine comes free of cost but electricity produced using it is expensive. The reason is expensive silicon based solar panels and space intensive technology. Commercial solar power projects require huge initial capital expenditure that often makes them n
The rural scenario Many rural houses across the world still face severe energy crisis and are totally dependent on kerosene to fulfill their energy needs because of the lack of proper electricity grids in rural areas. On one side billions of us have acce
The need for cheap solar power Over the last decade, people have become much more conscious of how they use energy, and the trend for using gadgets and gizmos that are more efficient, more effective and sustainable is on the rise. However, scientists and
As we know it Dwindling natural resources and the ever-growing demands of the human populace have led us to seek out alternative means of living. The good news is that nature’s sources can give us an endless supply of raw materials. The world’s depen
We all want the landscapes to be filled with natural trees that provide us clean air to breathe. However, rapid deforestation and industrialization has converted urban centers into concrete jungles where fresh air isn’t common. To replace these natural wo
What’s happening right now Solar energy is one of the most reliable alternative power options. Across the world, green enthusiasts have accepted solar panels as a means to harvest alternative energy. There are various kinds of solar cells that you can
Solar photovoltaics (PV) continue to be expensive in capital costs, needing close to $11,000 per kilowatt of power production. This high initial cost has inhibited wider adoption of solar energy despite the attraction of near zero operating costs. Researc
The conventional methods of generating solar energy are by and by becoming old fashioned. Semiconductor printing is an already existing and a widely accepted technique that is used in the manufacture of semiconductor solar cells. But most of the present d
For today’s world, which is thirsty for more amount of energy resources, the novel concept of floating solar plants can be a source of great joy and contentment. There will be many critics around there who feel that this is a far fetched idealism, impossi
Together with some of the very conventional uses of solar power, some uses are really weird and unconventional. They can keep you dumbstruck and force you to think if solar energy could really be used to such an extent. These geeky, solar powered equipmen
