Sunlight is the most abundant energy source on earth, now harnessed by a vast array of silicon solar panels on rooftops and ...

UC Riverside researchers have unveiled a powerful new imaging technique that exposes how cutting-edge materials used in solar panels and light sensors convert light into electricity—offering a path to ...

The material, called a colorless and unidirectional diffractive-type solar concentrator (CUSC), works by steering some of the sun’s rays to the edges of the glass, where photovoltaic strips convert th ...

In order to cope with climate change such as global warming, power generation using renewable energy such as sunlight and wind is being promoted all over the world. Researchers believe that the newly ...

Unlike solar panels, solar thermoelectric generators can convert heat from any source into electricity. But poor efficiency has held the technology back – until now.

Choosing the right ones will ensure that they produce plenty of electricity, even in extreme heat or on cloudy daysBefore installation, make sure you have a handle on your energy use so that you ...
