The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released stunning aerial images of the Great Solar Wall, China’s largest renewable energy initiative, located in the Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia. The project, a vast cluster of photovoltaic (PV) power installations, aims to achieve an impressive 100 GW of energy capacity by 2030. In its […]
Solar air Heaters can be made easily at home with recyclable materials. In this article, we will try to explain what are the best practices for making efficient solar air heaters. Solar Air Heaters are a very cost effective way of achieving heating and ventilation. With so many packaging materials ending up in waste it […]
Inverters or Solar Inverters are used in PV systems for converting DC electricity in AC. Now often in solar PV systems, low voltage DC is converted (that could be 12 V, 24, 48 V or 96 Volts) to much higher voltage AC current (around 220 Volts) that we can use in our electrical appliances. For […]
This article will cover the most efficient solar cell technologies recorded in standard test conditions and the most efficient panels available in the market. The article will be constantly revised through the year to include the most up to date information. A Few Points on Solar Cell Efficiency Lab efficiency is always higher than true efficiency as […]
Solar Energy Technology can be broken into two strands, namely solar Thermal and Solar Photovoltaic. Solar Thermal Energy has been utilized by civilizations from time immemorial. Our ancestors in the northern hemisphere lived in caves, with their openings towards the south. This was done to allow most amount of light into the dwelling, particularly during cold winter […]

The course will be hosted by Udemy which is the biggest teaching platform online. The course can now be accessed from this link This course will teach students not only about the theoretical aspects of Solar Energy, […]
Next time you go out for caravanning, camping or trekking than the following 5 gadgets can not only add richness to your experience but also make your trip more environmental friendly. Going outdoors is actually good for the environment. How? Well given that when we stay at home, we eventually end up using energy (heating and […]
We are living in times when monetary disparity around the world is rampant. On one hand we have people in the fierce grip of consumerism. On the other hand we have people with barely enough to live day by day. The viscous circle of poverty takes opportunities away from the less privileged and actively tries to […]
Solar Radiation is extremely important not just to mankind but for life in general on our planet. It is what makes our planet habitable. It provides sustenance to earth’s eco-systems. It is the source of all forms of energy on our planet. One has to bear in mind that even energy from fossils fuels used today was once bio-chemical […]
Photo Voltaic (PV) Technology has come a long way from its inception about 60 years ago. The PV efficiency that was only 1% to begin with, has risen to almost 23%. When these figures are compared with an Internal Combustion engine, whose efficiency has stagnated at 15-18% after a century of research, the promise this technology holds can […]
