From making a small calculator work to generating energy to produce the entire output of an important brewery, solar energy has been undergoing significant…
Scientists from the University of Surrey have revealed the significant improvements they are making in perovskite-based solar cells.
Solar thermal cells continue to attract much interest as they have massive potential to heat water in a cost-effective and sustainable process.
Innovative solar technology company, mPower Technology, has announced that its DragonSCALES solar cell prototype has completed integration and testing on a…
Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have significantly boosted the output from a system that can extract drinkable water directly from the air even in dry regions, using heat from the sun or another source.
Researchers from MIPT have developed a prototype detector of solar particles. The device is capable of picking up protons at kinetic energies between 10 and 100 megaelectronvolts, and electrons at 1-10 MeV.
A good ten years ago, research teams discovered the class of semi-organic halide perovskites, which are now making a rapid career as new materials for solar cells.
New research shows that sunspots and other active regions can change the overall solar emissions.
NASA's extensive fleet of spacecraft allows scientists to study the Sun extremely close-up - one of the agency's spacecraft is even on its way to fly through the Sun's outer atmosphere.
While solar power is a leading form of renewable energy, new research suggests that changes to regional climates brought on by global warming could make areas currently considered ideal for solar power production less viable in the future.
Nextracker, a Flex company, announced that its solar tracker technology, NX Horizon has been chosen for Australia's largest solar farm, a 460 megawatt-peak installation in Queensland's Western Downs.
Researchers working to maximize solar panel efficiency said layering advanced materials atop traditional silicon is a promising path to eke more energy out of sunlight.
Led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a study of a solar-energy material with a bright future revealed a way to slow phonons, the waves that transport heat.
In the search for clean energy alternatives to fossil fuels, one promising solution relies on photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells - water-splitting, artificial-photosynthesis devices that turn sunlight and water into solar fuels such as hydrogen.
Perovskites are a class of materials made up of organic materials bound to a metal.
ESA has released its first Solar Orbiter data to the scientific community and the wider public.
