A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Maximo, the solar robotics company incubated by AES, has successfully installed 100 MW of solar panels at the AES Bellefield ...

Scientists discover a new way to capture more energy from sunlight. This could improve solar panels and reduce wasted energy in the future.

REC Group, a solar panel manufacturer founded in Norway, is bringing its latest commercial and industrial panels to the ...

Solar power has immense potential as a renewable energy source, helping humankind transition away from the production of fossil fuels, which are responsible for the vast majority of the greenhouse ...

In a new study, a team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Gebze Technical University (GTU) in Turkey used data science to determine and predict the effects of exposure to weather ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...

The global solar boom has introduced a new urgency around asset durability, performance, and risk. As utility-scale solar farms become more common, so do the invisible defects that compromise ...

Air conditioning accounts for roughly 10 percent of global electricity consumption, and that figure ...

Higher yields aren’t always harvested from crops. In Howard County, Indiana, farmers leasing land to solar and wind projects are finding that the returns from renewable energy can be far richer than ...

A Bechtel crew installs trackers at the 1,100-acre Cutlass Solar II project site in Fort Bend County, Texas, to collect data to expedite work completion and quality. A small whizzing sound ...
