California Solar Mandate, Gas Bans Take Effect In 2020:...
If you're building a California home next year, it will have to produce more clean energy - and in some places use more electric appliances - than ever before. A first-in-the-nation law requiring new homes to have rooftop solar panels takes...
WASHINGTON - More than 25 years after Congress created tax credits to encourage the development of renewable energy, wind turbines and solar panels will soon have to fend for themselves as they never have before.
Clean Power This is the second article in a two-parter on the intriguing idea of putting float solar on top of pumped hydro storage reservoirs. There are several pros and cons to putting floating solar on pumped hydro reservoirs: evaporation...
Harnessing Hot Carriers For High Efficiency Solar Cells
Two-dimensional solar materials may offer a way to extract more energy from sunlight. By tuning the structure of a 2-D perovskite solar material, researchers from KAUST and the Georgia Institute of Technology have shown they can prolong the...
Three New Types Of Solar Power Plants Emerge In 2019
2019 was a year of change for the solar and energy storage industry, as we shifted from deploying pure wattage to making projects a lot smarter with oversized DC-AC ratios, up to 60% capacity factors, and solar plants that shine only at night.
Researchers Use Artificial Intelligence To Optimize...
Solar Cells Why are scientists so interested in perovskites, the organic-inorganic halide materials that can convert sunlight into electricity? Because they are cheap to produce, flexible, and, at least in theory, could be sprayed on to just...
