Last year a total of 266 gigawatts (GW) of renewables was installed, with solar power leading the field. The President of the Energy Institute, a UK-based body, Juliet Davenport said : “Despite further strong growth in wind and solar in the power sector, overall global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions increased again.

Could you explain why these materials are so important for solar power? I hope it will include perovskite materials for solar cells. Mike, in 2014 you started a postdoctoral fellowship at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland – was your research still on perovskites? ML: Yes, it was related.

In the classic “ Duck Curve ” scenario, overall grid electricity demand will be low on a relatively cool day due to reduced use of air-conditioning, and solar energy will make up a greater portion of total energy use. In the evening, energy demand suddenly increases when solar power does not function. 5] Ito, K, 2014.
