How can i do it with avoiding solar panels? s0 started looking into new solar technology that was out there. this is solivus testing yard in kent where theyve been adapting the shape of the sculpture to maximise efficiency. the multilayered solar film used is provided by german firm helio tech. these solar panels are made up of three distinct layers at the moment and the top layer will capture the high energy light. the middle layer will capture the sort of visible light and then the bottom laye...

Are going through the roof. so, both practically and financially now, solar could be coming home. heres a way of making your gadgets greener by using sustainable energy. something this solar cell factor in sweden is taking to the next level. this machine is printing custom nano ink onto solar panels and they dont even need the sun to charge. we have developed our own nano inks, and in this machine, we print that ink on the proprietary substrate. how is the end result and the usage of it differen...

For range and efficiency. so the tendency has been for electric cars to look at high acceleration and large batteries. so, because of those two, cars get very heavy, and very heavy cars that accelerate quickly, they need very high power. so we say its more important to get to the destination quick than it is to be quick at a traffic light. and whats great about in—wheel motors is that they are direct drive, so basically theres no gears at all. theres just four moving parts — four motors. tha...

And then the bottom layer captures more of the infrared, more of the heat. so maximum efficiency for conventional solar panel is about 33% whereas for this technology they can layer it with in theory as many layers as they want to choose different parts of the spectrum and capture overall more light coming in. despite this sunny outlook, today this solar film is only 8% efficient. with a10% version expected later this year. last year that may have been a problem, high initial costs have dogged s...

Electricity thats being used anyway? we are recycling light. the extra efficiency means that the silver strips that usually run through solar panels are no longer needed, freeing up new design ideas. these cells have been shaped to fit a headphone band and this robot is responsible for squirting electrolytes on them to allow conduction. it looks like its going to drip bits in between. but its actually doing very precisely? its more efficient and predictable and for sure doesnt make any mistakes....

I can see them being seen as a sort of carbon neutral status symbol. something for the neighbours, perhaps, to gawk at. i dont like the look of conventional solar panels. ijust dont like them. so i thought well, i want to get the home energy independent but how can i do it with avoiding solar panels? so started looking into new solar technology that was out there. this is solivus�* testing yard in kent where theyve been adapting the shape of the sculpture to maximise efficiency. the multilayer...

They may not look much, but heat pumps are superefficient. for every unit of energy you put in, you get three or four units of heat out. the government wants 600,000 of us to be switching to them every year by 2028. so why arent we all scrambling to get hold of them now? that is because we care much more about how much things cost than how efficient they are, says leah robson, who has been installing heat pumps in south london for nine years. typically, gas prices are around four times cheaper t...
