3D Solar Panels Generate 20x More Energy Than Flat Solar Panels
Thursday, March 29th, 2012
Solar power engineering is taking to new heights as researchers around the world invent and reinvent methods to harness solar energy to its best capacity. Until now, improving the performance of photovoltaic cells involved only rearranging the layout of solar panels on a flat surface and bringing down their cost. But now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on avant-garde 3D designs that would look beyond the traditional outlook of arranging cells on a flat surface or motorized structures keeping them pointed towards the sun.

New Low-Cost Solar Cells Devised by US Chemical Engineers
Monday, March 19th, 2012
Purdue researcher Rakesh Agrawal is leading work to develop solar cells that might be manufactured using special ink printed onto sheets of a supporting material. The approach could lead to new low-cost solar cells economically competitive with other energy technologies.
Researchers at Purdue University are developing an alternative solution to photovoltaic technologies by manufacturing low-cost solar cells using special ink printed on a supporting material.
With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, the team of chemical engineers led by Rakesh Agrawal, Purdue University’s Winthrop E. Stone Distinguished Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering, will strive to develop solar cells that could be mass produced at a low cost with limited availability of materials. (more…)
