Perovskite, the new material for solar energy
The perovskite promises to revolutionize the photovoltaic solar energy. Properties and use on solar energy are this post’s subjects.
Recycling solar panels with 99% efficiency
A startup from Venice, Italy, developed a method to recycle solar panels with 99% efficiency, without liberating toxic gases.
Charge controller: how it works?
I received a doubt about the charge controller for solar power generation. This component is very important for off-grid systems.
Organic solar panels
Organic solar panels are photovoltaic panels of third generation. They can greatly increase the competitiveness of solar energy.
Visit to Bom Jardim da Serra Wind Park
I visited the Bom Jardim da Serra Wind Park, in Santa Catarina state, Brazil. And I made a video showing some easy access turbines.
Wind power generator kites
In high altitudes, the wind speed is higher. Generator kites prototypes have been built for using the energy of high winds.
PRAM: transmitting electricity through satellites
Scientists have made tests with solar panels, which can transmit electric energy from space to Earth. The panels received the name PRAM.
Fresnel linear concentrator
The Fresnel linear concentrator is a little known form of thermal solar energy generation. The operation of this technology is today’s subject.
Stirling engine: What is it and how it works?
Stirling engine is of external combustion. Created in 1816 by Stirling brothers to be an alternative to steam engines, which were dangerous at that time.
