Multijunction solar cell – Introduction

multi-junction solar cells are currently the most efficient solar cells. Huge efforts have been made to improve the production of renewable energy. One of the most promising technologies is photovoltaic solar panels which convert solar energy into electrical energy. The first solar cell was a c-Si solar cell realised in 1954 by researchers at Bell [...]

Boris Palmer – Climate protection initiative

To help fight climate change, he has introduced a local campaign with the goal of reducing CO2 emissions in Tübingen by 70% until 2020 (”Tübingen macht blau”, literally meaning ”Tübingen goes blue”, and figuratively ”Tübingen skips work”). He encourages saving energy, switching from traditional to alternative sources of energy and lessening pollution, e.g. by introducing [...]
