Scientists have developed a pioneering new technique that could generate enough electricity to power an entire home – all by using solar panels that are much smaller than current models. A team of experts from the University of Exeter has discovered an innovative way for generating photovoltaic (PV) energy – or ways in which to […]
When we think of symbiotic relationships (aka ones that are mutually beneficial), we typically think of two plants or animals that work well together. Did you know, however, that sheep and solar farms can benefit each other similarly? Sheep living in pasture with solar panels benefit from shade in hot weather and more nutritious grass […]

A startup called Sun-Ways is taking an innovative approach to renewable energy. They plan to optimize solar power by installing power panels between railway tracks. As opposed to fields of solar panels to catch the energy, these panels do not occupy any landscape or impact the environment. Sun-Ways is waiting for the approval of the […]

The world has been in dire need of consistent renewable energy sources for some time now. One innovative solution to this problem is the use of floating solar panels. These solar panels work the same way as any other solar panel does but are instead installed on water bodies like lakes, reservoirs, and oceans. This […]

In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in environmental impact awareness. Many countries are working hard to find new ways to utilize renewable energy, burn clean energy, and minimize their carbon footprint. France has passed a new law, that all large parking lots in the country will have to be covered by solar panels. President […]

Recent studies have displayed a surprising affinity for transparent solar panels. It is possible to install them in various places around Europe. This finding comes simultaneously with scientists being able to achieve a completely new efficiency record for dye-sensitized solar cells. An Ecole Polytechnique Federale du Lausanne team in Switzerland conducted the research. A specially […]

The largest community solar operator in New Jersey recently had the idea to cover storage spaces with solar panels. The project was completed and the end result meant that Extra Space Storage, a Neptune, New Jersy self-storage site now has a 6.5-megawatt community solar array that totals around 800,000 square feet. Apparently, this power station […]

Solar power as a method of electricity generation has many advantages. It is a renewable and highly abundant resource, and it is sustainable. It can meet the needs of present populations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Harnessing solar energy also does not, in general, produce any pollution (though the […]

Energy experts believe by the year 2050, solar energy would have become the largest and most-used source of electricity in the world. [1] Solar power is an easy-to-harness, clean, renewable source of energy that can be accessed almost anywhere across the globe. As long as the sun is up and your solar panels or photovoltaic […]

A lot of sunlight energy goes to waste every day just passing through your window. Imagine if, instead, those windows could capture that energy and use it to power your home or business. With transparent solar panels, that dream could become a reality. Windows Made of Transparent Solar Panels The relatively new technology to enter […]

Solar canals save water, create energy, and protect natural lands all at the same time. California has around 4,000 miles of canals that shuttle clean water throughout the state. New research shows that these canals can do way more than bringing California’s residents with drinking water—paired with solar panels, these canals might also be a way to […]
This solar farm in Plains, Georgia, is quite incredible. The land it’s built on is owned by former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. Carter decided to use 10 acres of land in his hometown in Georgia to create his solar farm. The land which was once occupied by soybean crops and peanuts is […]
