U.S. scientists have created a high efficiency solar cell after incorporating combining graphene with common glass. It’s a breakthrough that could also pave the way for a new class of optic/electronic devices.
Researchers from New York’s Brookhaven National Laboratory set out to optimize a solar cell containing graphene by stacking it on a copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) semiconductor, which was then was placed on an industrial soda-lime glass substrate; a substance commonly used for windows and bottles.
London’s Queen Elizabeth II reservoir is home to what will be Europe’s largest floating solar farm; comprising of more than 23,000 solar panels.
The system will cover around 10% of the reservoir (approximately 13 hectares) and have a total installed peak capacity of 6.3 megawatts. The installation is expected to generate 5.8 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity in the first 12 months – equivalent to electricity requirements of around 1,800 homes.
The UK now has double the installed solar PV capacity of Australia. It’s a situation that might have many Australians scratching their heads.
