Researchers have developed a solar cell made entirely of carbon, an inexpensive substitute for the pricey materials used in conventional solar panels. Stanford University scientists have built the first solar cell made entirely of carbon, [...]

Photovoltaic panels can be well worth the investment even if you live in a winter wonderland. Snow and solar cells aren’t mutually exclusive, according to a Michigan Technological University scientist. True, a layer of snow [...]

This new OPV technology is a significant breakthrough A new breakthrough in solar technology means portable electronic devices such as e-book readers could soon be re-charged on the move in low light levels and partial [...]

GeS is relatively inexpensive and non-toxic. Researchers from North Carolina State University have created flower-like structures out of germanium sulfide (GeS) – a semiconductor material – that have extremely thin petals with an enormous surface [...]

New Efficiency Record for Photovoltaic Cells, Thanks to Heterojunction In the medium term, an investment of only $2500 in photovoltaic cells would suffice to provide more than enough electricity for the consumption of a four [...]

KPMG believes that the solar lease model could become a game-changer. Rapid fall in solar prices and increase in cost of conventional power driven by fuel shortages has brought ‘grid-parity‘ closer, which is expected to [...]

“It is our long time goal to penetrate the Hungarian market “ On the eve of the opening of the European Solar Decathlon, a team from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics is ready [...]

It is available for commercial photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated photovoltaic (CV) installations. Although solar trackers can significantly increase the energy output of solar cells by keeping them optimally aligned to the sun, installing them on [...]

Corrada’s solar air conditioning system, according to Green Optimist, cuts electricity consumption by 90 percent. The serious heat of the summer is over for much of the country (sorry, Texas and SoCal). But the memory of [...]

He’s a young man from Egypt who refused to give in to hard conditions that threatened his passion for science. Though the unprofessional educational system forced him to study something he doesn’t like, yet he [...]

As much as 75 percent less than traditional solar cells Researchers at RTI International have developed a new solar technology that could make solar energy more affordable, and thus speed-up its market adoption. The RTI [...]

There’s clearly a market for long-duration ocean going robots A mola, or ocean sunfish, is a very big, very flat, and (in this reporter’s opinion) rather silly looking tropical bony fish. Aerovioronment has used the [...]
