Store Solar Energy Without a Battery or Capacitor

June 23, 2015 | Leave a Comment

UCLA chemists are developing photovoltaic cells that store the electrical energy. The work is a major improvement for capturing and retaining energy from sunlight, where the stored energy can last dramatically longer than current solar technology allows. The storage can last up to several weeks, instead of the microseconds found in today’s rooftop solar panels. […]

New Materials For Low Cost Solar Cells

October 14, 2010 | 2 Comments

Just this Monday past we saw that North Carolina State researchers had zeroed in on just what is holding up the exciton in a polymer photovoltaic solar cell.  Then as if by serendipity Rutgers let loose their announcement they have found a new material. Rutgers physicists have discovered new properties in a material that could […]
