As the share of electricity generation from non-dispatchable sources like wind and photovoltaics grows, so does the need for demand response to stabilize the grid. Since the electricity consumption of heat pumps in buildings is both substantial and flexibl ...

Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for ensuring the optimal performance of solar panels. However, conventional manual methods can be laborious, time consuming, and expensive, especially for large and inaccessible installations. Aerial inspectio ...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is the most rapidly expanding renewable resource worldwide. Yet, its full potential may be hindered by mismatches with market demand and correlated production profiles. In this research, we explore a case study of innovative PV plac ...

Solar control strategies are essential for the glare control and decreasing cooling needs or overheating risks (in the absence of active cooling system), however, they come with their own embodied energy. With the carbon neutrality objective looking at the ...

The semiconducting hybrid-organic inorganic halide perovskites have excellent optical and electronic properties that attract the interest of scientists and researchers. Perovskite solar cells have seen the most rising-rate in the chart of solar cell effici ...

New binary ionic liquid electrolytes based on 1-methyl-1-butylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-butylpyridinium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium tetr ...

We report the synthesis, structure, and superconducting properties of single crystals of SmFeAsOHx. The crystals were grown at high pressure and high temperature using a cubic anvil technique. H-1-NMR studies confirm the presence of H atoms in the samples. ...

Recent improvements in light-emitting diode (LED) technology has allowed for the use of LEDs for solar simulators with excellent characteristics. In this paper, we present a solar simulator prototype fully based on LEDs. Our prototype has been designed spe ...

Learning from the concepts used by green plants photosynthesis, we have developed nanostructured systems affording efficient solar light harvesting and conversion to electricity and fuels. Solar cells using dyes or semiconducting nanoparticles as light har ...

We elucidate the mechanism of a newly observed photovoltaic effect which occurs in ferroelectrics with periodic domain structures. Under sufficiently strong illumination, domain walls function as nanoscale generators of the photovoltaic current. The steps ...

We synthesized the Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the 2,7,12,17-tetrapropionic acid of 3,8,13,18-tetramethyl-21H,23H porphyrin (coproporphyrin-I) and successfully employed them as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells. Copper(II) coproporphyrin-I exhib ...
