PV cell integrating molecular thermal storage tech achieves 14.9% solar utilization efficiency

PV cell integrating molecular thermal storage tech achieves 14.9% solar utilization efficiency

Scientists in Sweden have integrated a PV device with a molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage system, which acts as as a solar cell optical filter and cooling agent. The proposed combination achieves a 0.2% higher PV efficiency and solar storage efficiency of 2.3%. July 16, 2024 Emiliano Bellini Picture of the experimental setup under

South Australia locks in federal funds to become first grid in world to reach 100 per cent net wind and solar

South Australia locks in federal funds to become first grid in world to reach 100 per cent net wind and solar

South Australia has locked in federal funding to ensure that it becomes the first non-hydro grid in the world to reach 100 per cent net renewables. The funding deal – through what’s known as a Renewable Energy Transformation Agreement – means that the federal government will underwrite a minimum one gigawatt of new wind and

Building materials for water-rich planets in the early solar system

Age data for certain classes of meteorite have made it possible to gain new findings on the origin of small water-rich astronomical bodies in the early solar system. These so-called planetesimals continually supplied building materials for planets — also for the Earth, whose original material contained little water. The Earth received its actual water through
