These days, it is hard to find anyone who does not know about solar panels. Practically solar power is mostly used in remote areas away from national grid, but it is now becoming very popular in rural and sub-urban areas as well. Solar technology is progressing by leaps and bounds. It’s getting better and better each day.In following few paragraphs we have reviewed some latest advancement in this field:
1 – MIT Researchers Print a Solar Cell on Paper
The idea of clean and green fuel is great but it has certain disadvantages. First it’s so much expensive, second their power conversion rate is quite low. Final disadvantage is that you need storage space to save all the power, which is converted by a clean and green technology. The MIT researchers had developed solar cells printed on paper. This technology will take years to be in market for commercial use, but it is an interesting development.
2 – Solar Greenhouse to Produce Food and Electricity
It seems amazing that a greenhouse produce solar power and food. This unique has been done in Italy. Renewable energy companies Solar ReFeel, CeRSAA and solar panel manufacturer Solyndra are the companies are responsible for this project. This solar power greenhouse is being built at CeRSAA’s Albenga, Italy. Basic purpose of this project is to attain production of both food and electricity. The research team is also experimenting to validate the crop growth benefits of Solyndra’s technology by taking help of independent testing by a leading agricultural institution.
