imdat celeste :v_tg: :v_nb: :v_genderfluid: 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦 [witchzard]<p>Looked up solar panels for the balcony (in my case, for our rooftop terrace).</p><p>After checking our electricity usage I realized that two panels would help reduce our electricity-use from the grid by 50%. On average, we seem to be using around 400W through the day. Peaks are for washing machine and oven. Washing machine is usually run in the evening but that one we can easily move to the day. Oven not so much. </p><p>Two panels deliver about 400W gross (~300W net), so theoretically it'd cover 3/4th of our needs, but because of night, it'll end up being around 50% only - if we use the washing machine during the day. We have, except for the washing machine and oven, a very steady electricity use.</p><p>So, this would reduce our overall grid-electricity needs from ~3 MWh/year to 1.5MWh/year.</p><p>Investment? About 400-600 EUR. If I deduct the government subsidy from it, I'll end up at around 300-500 EUR. And seeing how much we pay for electricity, this whole investment would have a ROI-time of less than a year.</p><p>I guess it is time I added two solar panels to the rooftop terrace, where they are also nearly invisible.</p><p><a href="https://tau-ceti.space/tags/SolarPanel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPanel</span></a> <a href="https://tau-ceti.space/tags/SolarEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarEnergy</span></a></p>

Eager to limit China's stranglehold over the solar market, countries have been searching for a different way to harness the sun. Now, Japanese engineers 'believe they have found one in a type of solar cell that looks and feels like camera film,' according to The Wall Street Journal. The new cell uses perovskite, a crystalline structure formed by minerals that convert sunlight into electricity. The perovskite cell was invented by Japanese scientist and Toin University of Yokohama professor Tsutomu Miyasaka. Iodine is the key element used to manufacture the solar film, of which Japan is the world's second largest producer. </p><p>"Research into using perovskite for solar power has been happening during the past decade, however, the structure was less efficient than the typical silicone panels and would degrade under humid conditions. 'Silicon solar cells are great because they are very efficient and can last for a very long time, but the high efficiency comes with a high cost,' Xiwen Gong, assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Michigan, who studies perovskite semiconductors, said in a statement. 'To make high-purity silicon, temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius are needed. Otherwise, the efficiency won't be as good.'</p><p>"To boost efficiency, perovskite was previously used in tandem cells inside glass-covered silicon panels. But now, technology has allowed silicon-free perovskite cells to match traditional silicon-panel efficiency. While humidity remains an issue, the perovskite panels have the potential to be more widely applied. The panels themselves are thin, light and flexible, unlike their silicon counterparts. 'Let's say you live in an apartment and don't have your own roof. You can still put the perovskite cells on your balcony,' Miyasaka told the Journal. 'Think of [them] as a household appliance.'" </p><p><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/japan-s-new-solar-panel-technology-might-forever-alter-the-renewables-market/ar-BB1htAFL?rc=1&amp;ocid=winp1taskbar&amp;cvid=8ea75fbf729f4c23afee62b4c2093156&amp;ei=11" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-us/money/companies/</span><span class="invisible">japan-s-new-solar-panel-technology-might-forever-alter-the-renewables-market/ar-BB1htAFL?rc=1&amp;ocid=winp1taskbar&amp;cvid=8ea75fbf729f4c23afee62b4c2093156&amp;ei=11</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewablesNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPower</span></a></p>
