Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have taken a crucial step toward increasing the lifespan of photovoltaic solar panels and potentially lowering solar-energy costs for manufacturers and ...

Flexible solar panels are lightweight, portable and useful for curved surfaces, but they are not right for every setup. Here’s how they compare with standard panels ...

Solar panel efficiency affects how much electricity your system can generate from the roof space available – here’s what that means and why it matters ...

One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...

Perovskite solar cells are among the most promising technologies for making solar power cheaper and more efficient. Working with partners from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), DESY ...

If you've ever looked at your energy bills and thought, "Why am I paying all this money when there's literally free energy beaming down from the sky?", well, you've got a point. While solar panels ...

The conventional solar cells that you see on rooftops capture sunlight from only one side, but have you heard about bifacial ...

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 ...

Future lunar bases could be powered by solar cells made on-site from melted moon dust. Building items on the moon, using materials that are already there, would be more practical than shipping them ...

A Tennessee solar developer is betting that cattle-grazing and solar panels can coexist — and benefit farmers as well as the ...
