U.S. Overtakes China as Most Attractive Country for...
The United States has overtaken China as the most attractive country in the world for renewables investment and the global clean energy sector is expected to bounce back quickly despite the coronavirus pandemic, research showed on Tuesday. In an...
Cheap Renewable Energy a Step Closer as Next-Generation...
Perovskite crystals could underpin cheap renewable energy. Australian scientists have for the first time produced a new generation of experimental solar energy cells that pass strict International Electrotechnical Commission testing standards for ...
The Nature Conservancy to Unlock Solar Potential on...
The Nature Conservancy, with its 65 years of substantial work protecting the environment through conservation, is making its way deeper into coal country - with a plan. The organization wants to help develop solar on up to 13,000 acres of cleared ...
New Solar Panels Suck Water From Air to Cool Themselves Down
Like humans, solar panels don't work well when overheated. Now, researchers have found a way to make them "sweat"-allowing them to cool themselves and increase their power output. It's "a simple, elegant, and effective [way] to retrofit existing...
“All energy is ultimately derived for the sun and harvesting it directly through solar power seems to be the best way to transition to renewable energy.”

Overbuilding Solar at Up to 4 Times Peak Load Yields a...
The global energy firm Wartsila found a least-cost renewables mix for the U.S. that involves overbuilding renewable capacity, but requires no seasonal storage, and needs only four to ten days of multi-day storage capacity. The analysis modeled...
3-D-Printed System Speeds Up Solar Cell Testing From...
Tests on new designs for next-gen solar cells can now be done in hours instead of days thanks to a new system built by scientists at Australia's Monash University, incorporating 3-D-printed key components. The machine can analyze 16 sample...
Structural Solutions: Challenging Solar Sites Solved by...
Giant, sprawling solar projects on flat landscapes are no longer the norm. For solar energy to proliferate across the country, PV systems need to affix to various unfriendly environments - rough terrains, oddly shaped parcels, confined city...
Warren Buffett-Backed Largest U.S. Solar Project...
The Trump administration announced final approval this week of the largest solar energy project ever granted in the U.S., and one of the biggest in the world, despite objections from conservationists and worries that renewables promotion only...
A Solar Roof For Your Electric Vehicle: Dreams Really Do ...
With an $800-plus billion electric vehicle market looming over the horizon by 2027, the idea of charging your zero emission car on-the-go with a solar rooftop is trotting along not far behind. The key...
Sunny Places Could See Average Solar Prices of $0.01 or...
New research models that the price of solar will continue to drop faster than previous predictions. This would mean that building new solar would be routinely cheaper than operating already-built fossil fuel plants, even in today's world of...
