Research pinpoints new technique for producing cheaper solar energy
http://www.exeter.ac.uk/news/research/title_431507_en.html[font face=Serif][font size=5]Research pinpoints new technique for producing cheaper solar energy[/font]
[font size=4]Pioneering new research could pave the way for solar energy to be converted into household electricity more cheaply than ever before.[/font]
[font size=3]A team of experts from the University of Exeter has examined new techniques for generating photovoltaic (PV) energy – or ways in which to convert light into power – more cost efficiently.
…
Crucially, the team conducted studies with perovskite in Alta Floresta (Brazil), Frenchman Flat, (USA) , Granada (Spain), Beijing (China), Edinburgh (UK) and Solar Village (Saudi Arabia), and confirmed its efficiency in converting light to power in a range of atmospheric conditions, rather than just under direct sunlight.
The research by the team from the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI), based at the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus in Cornwall, is published in the journal Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells.
