My wife and I purchased a not-quite-finished off-grid home about a month into the COVID-19 lockdown and immediately went to work installing half a dozen solar panels. I've learned a few lessons ...

Today’s modern solar panels are made from silicon-based photovoltaics, but a new technology from Oxford University based on perovskites could make them more flexible and more efficient.

Today’s microgrids are often associated with solar panels and battery storage, but they are versatile and can be powered by ...

Nor does it account for the lifetime energy production of a solar panel, simply what it makes in a year. Most modern solar panels carry a 25 year warranty, while oil and gas sold this year will be ...

On this World Environment Day 2025, its more important than ever to spotlight the technologies that are actively reducing ...

David Kuchta, Ph.D. has 10 years of experience in gardening and has read widely in environmental history and the energy transition. An environmental activist since the 1970s, he is also a ...

The study did not measure how much water evaporation floating solar would prevent, but previous NREL research has shown that photovoltaic panels—sometimes called “floatovoltaics” when they are ...

Modern solar panels made from silicon-based photovoltaics just got some competition. Oxford University has developed a new technology using perovskites, which are more flexible and efficient.
