Solar Impulse 2, an experimental plane flying around the world without consuming a drop of fuel, has landed in California, one leg closer to completing its trailblazing trip.
An experimental plane trying to fly around the world on solar energy was about a third of the way between Hawaii and California Friday on its quiet quest to make history.
Green Energy Tomorrow, the regionally focused rooftop solar specialist launched by Phanes Group - has signed an agreement with DP World to deliver the first phase of the largest rooftop solar project in the Middle East.
Polymer solar cells can be even cheaper and more reliable thanks to a breakthrough by scientists at Linkoping University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This work is about avoiding costly and unstable fullerenes.
Physicists have discovered radical new properties in a nanomaterial which opens new possibilities for highly efficient thermophotovoltaic cells, which could one day harvest heat in the dark and turn it into electricity.
This explains why zinc-oxide (ZnO) dye-sensitised solar cells have not yet met expectations.
Perovskite solar cells first appeared in 2009 with an efficiency of just 3.8%. With the outstanding photovoltaic properties, perovskite solar cell has become a…
Scientists at NJIT's Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) have captured unprecedented images of a recent solar flare, including bright flare ribbons seen…
Solar flares are intense bursts of light from the sun. They are created when complicated magnetic fields suddenly and explosively rearrange themselves…
Swedish solar energy expert Midsummer has received funding from Mistra for the development of lightweight solar modules on vehicles.
Creating energy with solar is not only environmentally friendly, it can also be good for your bank account too.
The sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 8:29 pm EDT on April 17, 2016. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of the event.
Verengo has announced it has surpassed installation of 100 megawatts (MW) of rooftop solar systems since the company's founding in 2008. Verengo reached…
Researchers have taken the next step in the evolution of bacteria-powered energy.
The new president of Chinese solar giant Wuxi Suntech Power is "assisting an inquiry" at Customs' request, its parent said Tuesday after reports he had gone missing.
NASA's newest space weather research satellite, the Ionospheric Connection Explorer, is on course for a summer 2017 launch after UC Berkeley scientists…
