Fledgling Solar Technology Promising Output Gains Raises $2.5M
SunDensity, a solar photonics startup, says its technology boosts module output by 20 percent. SunDensity, a solar startup promising 20 percent power output gains* due to specially coated glass, raised $2.5 million in initial financing to begin commercializing its product. If commercially successful, the technology could measurably increase the output of solar panels, reducing the […]
D.C. Circuit Ruling Empowers Energy Storage Technology To Tap Bigger Markets
Energy storage, or the use of batteries to absorb electricity from the grid when it is plentiful and discharge it when it is scarce, is ready for the big leagues. That was the implication of a ruling on Friday from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that has been celebrated by renewable […]
New electrode material developed to increase charge capacity of lithium batteries
Lithium batteries hold a lot of promise for the future of many applications, including electric vehicles, but tend to be prohibitively expensive, according to a team of researchers based in Japan. That team, led by Naoaki Yabuuchi, professor at Yokohama National University, has developed a new electrode material to make lithium batteries not only cheaper, […]

Economic Survey 2019: Charging infrastructure, not incentives, key to electric vehicle growth
Another major impediment to the adoption of EVs was the time taken for completely charging EVs, the Survey said. The Economic Survey has quoted studies showing that more than incentives offered to manufacturers and users, good charging infrastructure is key to mass adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). That is because the driving range of batteries […]
