Renewable energy is poised to hit a milestone as a new government report suggests that wind, solar and other renewable sources will outpace one quarter of the country’s electricity for the first time, by 2024. This is one of many details from the federal government’s Short Term Energy Outlook, a monthly report whose latest edition […]
Perovskite solar cells have drawn a significant amount of research attention as a promising alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells, due to their efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. Perovskite solar cells are a hybrid of organic and inorganic materials and consist of a light-harvesting layer and a charge-transporting layer. However, stability […]
Electric car batteries could be used to boost power storage in the future, injecting electricity into the grid during times of scarcity or storing electricity during periods of excess, a new study found Tuesday. Renewable energy is essential for the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to well below two degrees Celsius, but the […]
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – Another family is having problems with their solar power system installed by a Knoxville company. The Better Business Bureau has issued a warning on Solar Titan USA because it has a pattern of customer service issues and other complaints. WATE’s Don Dare contacted the company after visiting the couple when their […]
A leading laboratory in photonics and renewable energy at the University of Ottawa has developed a new method for measuring the solar energy produced by bifacial solar panels, the double-sided solar technology which is expected to meet increased global energy demands moving forward. Published in the journal Joule, this study from the […]
Solar power is becoming an increasingly important source of energy worldwide. At present, photovoltaic systems are predominantly being used in Germany. For sunny countries, solar tower power plants are a valuable addition. They store heat and can generate electricity at any time – even when the sun is not shining. The new highlight images […]
