Next Generation Solar Technology to Equip Inherent Advantages in Low Temperature and Long Lifespan

published 2021 年 06 月 01 日 9:30
Solar panel is a power generation system that converts sunlight into electricity, though like all mechatronic systems, excess heat creates impediments to the efficiency of power generation, and the blazing hot summertime can also become an enemy to photovoltaic modules. Australian scientists recently found out that the two new types of solar technology, singlet fission solar and tandem solar, are equipped with the advantage in low operating temperature, which helps to extend the lifespan of solar panels, and elevates commercial values to a great extent.  ...  more

In order to achieve the targets of 8.7GW and 20GW respectively set for 2021 and 2025, various ministries and units are currently stocktaking usable public rooftops and ruling out locations with ecological concerns, and now the Kaohsiung City Government has targeted the rooftops of public markets by establishing the “Kaohsiung City Green Power Promotion Task Force” that focuses on 5 major missions, as well as the stipulation of the 270MW photovoltaic capacity target within 2 years. ...  more

India Develops Flexible Module formed with Organic Paper Solar Substrate for Power Generation

published 2020 年 10 月 16 日 18:30
The principle of power generation for solar panels is to convert solar radiation into electricity, so will it be possible to generate power using indoor lighting? Indian scientists have recently developed an organic solar module made with a paper-based substrate that possesses both cost and environmental advantages, and is able to achieve a power density of 12µW/cm2 under 1000 lux, which makes it possible in providing power for small electronic equipment in the future. ...  more

NREL: High-Value Silicon Is More Important Than Intact Wafers in Recycling of Solar Panels

published 2020 年 07 月 23 日 10:30
Researchers at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently released a study that provides several recommendations on developing the methods for recycling solar panels (or photovoltaic modules). The study, which was published in the journal Nature Energy, estimates that the cumulative mass of discarded solar panels worldwide could reach up to 80 million metric tons by 2050. After evaluating various recycling methods, NREL has concluded that the focus of recycling solar panels should be on the recovery of high-value materials instead of the preservation of silicon wafers for future reuse. The NREL study also states that more aggressive R&D is needed to reduce the cost and environmental impact of the recycling process. ...  more

Maximum Penalty of NT$3 Million for Littered Solar Panels as Recycling and Disposal Mechanism Initiated

published 2020 年 05 月 06 日 18:30
Taiwan has been vigorously promoting solar power in recent years, and the “disposal” of solar power is also an essential part for the development of the energy. The Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan, finally announced the solar recycling and disposal mechanism not long ago, which states that each unit of solar panel must be registered and paid with a recycling and cleaning fee in advance, and a maximum fine of NT$3 million will be imposed for any littered solar panels. ...  more
