To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

The "solar power plant" has been designed so that the panel modules can be temporarily removed while railway engineers perform track maintenance, and then put back down when work has been completed.

Traditional solar fails in the windswept north. Two Swedish inventors are betting on aerodynamic resilience to solve the ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Researchers at Michigan State University will study the effects on soil health, groundwater, and ecosystems of installing solar panels among farmlands. A five-year, $3.6 million ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a translucent solar panel to allow certain light spectrums to pass through that are optimal for ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

The assumption may be that solar panels won't be as effective in the winter due to the decrease in sunlight and the snow that lands atop them. Also, let's be honest, most technology isn't known for ...

The secretary of the Department of Energy made this statement on Sept. 2 concerning a solar-energy incident: “Even if you wrapped the entire planet in a solar panel, you would only be producing 20% of ...
