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 ...

Star Catcher's demonstration showed how multi-wavelength lasers, beam steering, and standard solar cells could support future ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet ...

New research from India shows how bifacial solar modules should be deployed to achieve strong performance in floating PV projects planned on tropical freshwater. Their experimental setup demonstrated ...

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 ...

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

Terabase has used the first version of the Terafab system to install 40 MW of tracking solar over across multiple commercial ...

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 ...

The study, which was conducted by electrical engineering doctoral candidate Mandy Lewis in Golden, Colorado, found that placing reflective surfaces under solar panels can increase their energy output ...
