Renewable energies provide clean, inexhaustible, and increasingly competitive energy source differing from fossil fuels in diversity, abundance, and potential for use. Solar energy capacity in European Union has been increasing in recent years with Germany, Spain and Poland leading the way in new installations. In 2022, the European Union added a record-b...

Solar photovoltaics (PV) come in a variety of new formats and materials that allow for a whole range of new and exciting applications. In this project the partnership aims to thoroughly measure the relevant parameters of one type of these new PV embodiments -- a semi-transparent module -- that has applications in building integrated PV (BIPV). The potenti...

Agrivoltaic technology allows dual use of land, combining agricultural production with photovoltaic electricity generation. We have already reported how innovative tinted and semi-transparent solar panels could utilise 'spare' solar irradiation for electricity production when installed above growing plants. Applying these, and newly developed flexible agr...

Cheaper, more efficient photovoltaics with improved aesthetics and form factors are required to enable further mainstream adoption of renewable energy in domestic and commercial environments. However, this requires a step change in the materials, device architectures and processing techniques employed, a capability that is currently unmet within the indus...

With demand for clean, reliable and affordable energy rapidly growing, the ability to apply the solar spectrum wherever sunlight is available becomes ever more important. By combining valuable unexploited strengths of thin film Photovoltaics (PV) and solar optics we co-generate electricity and high temperature heat with the part of the spectrum not used b...

‘Power Generating & Energy Saving Windows’ is a project which addresses Innovate Uk's ‘Material Innovation for a Sustainable Economy’ call, with its objectives of reducing the energy consumption and material usage involved in the manufacturing of solar cells, while enabling a new market through the development of colourless transparent photovoltaic therma...

In the last 24 months there have been 200,000 noise complaints logged by the 311 New York city service hotline. This averages 274 calls a day, 1 for every 84 New York City residents in a given year, and accounts for a third of 311 calls to the NYPD and the Dept. of Environmental Protection in the city. 'Keeping the Noise Down' is a project concerned with ...

Polysolar produces a unique transparent solar photovoltaic glazing panel designed for integration into the fabric of buildings. It has developed a concept for a petrol station canopy that it will be installing with a major supermarket chain. The transparent solar photovoltaic glass canopy delivers multiple benefits as a structural weather proof membrane, ...

Project PPAG (Photovolatic Architectural Glass) aims to develop a working prototype/demonstrator of a scaled up OPV glazing module, which meets defined market application performance & specification requirements. The project aims to deliver a proof of technical feasibility both at laboratory scale & for large area module application, & evaluate electrical...
