MYSUN’s blog series on the Interesting ways the world is using Solar Energy has in the past explored the various innovations in solar technology, such as solar boats, cars, robots, paint, and even airships. Although all these innovations are great and have pushed the envelope of global solar technology, there has always been one caveat […]
A molecular tweak has improved organic solar cell performance, bringing us closer to cheaper, efficient, and more easily manufactured photovoltaics. The new design approach, targeting the molecular backbone of the cell’s power-generating layer, was developed by scientists at Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and published in the journal Chemical Science. Organic photovoltaics […]
As solar cells become more transparent, you may now add transparent panels of solar cells on windows of buildings and electronic devices to generate electricity. Furthermore, in adding flexibility to this, its product range will be even expanded to assure the future mobile applications for wearable devices. A research team, led by Professor Kyoung Jin […]
The future’s getting brighter for solar power. Researchers from CU Boulder have created a low-cost solar cell with one of the highest power-conversion efficiencies to date, by layering cells and using a unique combination of elements. “We took a product that is responsible for a $30 billion a year industry and made it 30% better,” […]
After realizing the potential to affect change while studying systems engineering at the University of Virginia, Brigitte Hoyer Gosselink began her journey to discover how technology might have a scalable impact on the world. Gosselink worked within international development and later did strategy consulting for nonprofits before joining Google.org, where she is focused on increasing […]
I got a solid taste this week of what our virtual post-coronavirus world will look like over the next several weeks or maybe longer. From the quiet of my San Francisco apartment, on Monday afternoon I tuned into a YouTube livestream of the Silicon Valley accelerator Plug and Play showing off a cohort of energy […]
Architect Ruurd Gietema lives in the Netherlands, a country perennially trying to hold back the sea. He said his homeland has paid a price for the high dikes and tall dunes it built to thwart rising waters and prevent flooding. “Protection was a high priority, but landscapes were erased,” Gietema said. This fact is not […]
The market for multifamily properties is constantly changing, making it important for your business to stay on top of new trends to capture the attention of savvy renters. As the market continues to evolve, property owners and managers can stay competitive and grow their businesses with property improvements that reflect the latest trends in the […]

The Australian National University recently announced a team of researchers successfully achieved a new world record for efficiency with ‘tandem solar cells’ – a new type of industry technology. These innovations use two types of modules to stack on top of each other, significantly increasing performance of the system overall. Ultimately, the team believe that […]
