In the late 1980s, when Switzerland was just beginning to experiment with solar power, engineers bolted a few shiny panels onto rooftops, mountain stations, and even utility-scale farms. They probably ...

China’s biggest solar complex is not just feeding electricity into the grid, it is physically reshaping the land beneath it ...

Spain-based solar cell researchers have advanced the ball in developing longer-lasting perovskite panels thanks to a unique additive. While it's not a touchdown — commercial application — the team ...

The successful test is a proof-of-concept for Overview Energy's plans to deliver solar energy to Earth from satellites. The ...

Troublesome lunar dust could soon be transformed into solar cells to help power moon bases and humanity's push to explore further out into space. This is the promise of an international team of ...

Long before perovskite solar cells began smashing efficiency records and transforming the future of clean energy, their modern design first emerged from a quiet experiment at Northwestern University.

The assumption may be that solar panels won't be as effective in the winter due to the decrease in sunlight and the snow that lands atop them. Also, let's be honest, most technology isn't known for ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...
