When you think of solar energy, you can probably imagine photovoltaic panels that collect sunlight to turn it into electricity. But there are other ways to use the power of the sun. One method of growing interest is called concentrated solar thermal energy, or CSP, which uses mirrors to reflect and concentrate solar energy. Compared […]
Are you in the market for a solar power bank? If so, you may be wondering which one is the best option for you. There are a lot of different solar power banks available on the market, and it can be difficult to determine which one is right for your needs. In this guide, we […]
When you are thinking of solar energy, you may have to create solar panels to convert them into electricity. But there are other ways to use solar energy. One method that attracts great interest is the so-called solar thermal power, or CSP, which uses mirrors to reflect and focus on solar energy. CSP has experienced […]
New solar cell devices that are cheaper and easier to make could soon hit the market thanks to materials made at Imperial College London. Traditional solar cells are made of silicon, which has good efficiency and stability, but is relatively expensive to manufacture and can only be made into rigid panels. Perovskite solar cells offer […]
Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama urged the public to reduce fossil fuel use during a meeting with activists to mark Earth Day, warning that the climate change crisis transcends national boundaries. The 86-year-old — who is now living in exile in India’s Dharamshala — was presented Friday with a block of ice carved from […]
In many parts of the country, residents installing solar panels do it primarily for environmental reasons. While that might also be a motivator in Central Washington, Paul Comiskey, general manager of AllCities Solar in Yakima, said there’s another “green” factor at work here – with our abundant sunshine, solar energy can save residents money. “It’s […]
