Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) made a technological breakthrough and constructed a perovskite solar cell with the dual benefits of being both highly efficient and highly stable. The work was done in collaboration with scientists from the University of Toledo, the University of Colorado-Boulder, […]
Solar cells manufactured from materials known as “perovskites” are catching up with the efficiency of traditional silicon-based solar cells. At the same time, they have advantages of low cost and short energy payback time. However, such solar cells have problems with stability – something that researchers at Linkoping University, together with international collaborators, have […]
Solar power isn’t just for hippies or loners who want to “live off the grid” anymore. If you haven’t noticed, major manufacturers have been adding solar power to their operations lately. Lego A/S says its new injection molding plant in Virginia will rely solely on solar power. Sealed Air Corp. is investing $9 million to […]
The solar energy industry in the United States has grown significantly over the past decade. This growth has in fact been one of the most phenomenal economic growth stories in the entire US economy. However, the “Covid era” hit the sun hard and struggled to regain the trajectory it was on. U.S. Solar Energy Growth […]
AUSTIN — One of the recommendations that a little-known group of fossil fuel and electricity industry insiders has for Texas lawmakers would likely increase the cost of generating wind and solar power in the state. Under Senate Bill #3 last year, the Legislature called for a new State Energy Plan Advisory Committee to make recommendations […]
MAGNOLIA, Texas – You’ve heard the phrase “selling like hotcakes.” Well right now in Texas, new companies and vendors are getting a lot of sales of solar panel power systems to homeowners. All of this creates the perfect environment for solar panel scam artists and shady business people. That’s something 92-year-old Tommy Ellis, a Navy […]
