In the shift away from fossil fuel energy sources, there has been a great expansion of solar energy. We’ve seen solar thermal plants in the desert and farms of photovoltaic panels covering vast areas of the earth, but perhaps the greatest potential comes from putting panels on rooftops. In some parts of the world, this […]
What does it mean to have a secure, home-grown energy system? It cannot be manipulated for geopolitical purposes. That system must be based on renewable energy, and it must be able to be put into use quickly. The European Union (EU) has struggled with these and other energy-based variables, especially now that the war in […]
The Intertubes are buzzing about the new transparent solar windows being installed at Patagonia’s California headquarters, and for good reason. An ordinary solar cell blocks sunlight from passing through. It’s a tricky feat to design one that achieves double the sustainability of harvesting renewable energy while illuminating an interior space with zero-emission solar light. The […]
Hybrid perovskites are materials made from metal halide frameworks interspersed with organic cations. They have attracted a lot of interest in the field of solar energy because of their light-harvesting capacity combined with a low cost of manufacturing, making perovskite solar cells (PSCs) prime candidates for replacing current silicon-based devices. Perovskites also show great […]

Minnesota winters are long, cold, and dark, which doesn’t sound like the best thing to do when it comes to saving money on your electric bill. But industry experts agree that even with shorter days, solar power can be a cost-effective cost-cutting measure for residential, commercial and industrial consumers. The amount of sunlight that reaches […]
