A device that can generate electricity while desalinating seawater has been developed by researchers in Saudi Arabia and China, who claim that their new system is highly efficient at performing both tasks. The device uses waste heat from the solar cell for desalination, thereby cooling the solar cell.

The state has plans to generate 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, which is too little, too late. It is now cheaper to generate electricity from solar energy than from coal-based thermal plants. The city of Kolkata has the largest fleet of electric public buses anywhere in India.

At that time, even the largest solar arrays in the world measured only in the hundreds of kilowatts, enough to generate the equivalent of the electricity needs of just a few tens of thousands of US households. I can distinctly remember how wacky it seemed when I first heard someone propose a one-megawatt (1000-kilowatt) solar array.
