How do we produce solar energy? Solar energy works by converting the sun’s energy into energy. There are two forms of energy generated by the sun for our use: electricity and heat. Both are generated through the use of solar panels, which range in size from residential rooftops to “solar farms” that span acres of […]
Australian researchers have made a breakthrough in renewable energy technology, proving that solar energy can be generated at night. OPEC SG: Sanctions against oil countries affect the world economy The research, published in ACS Photonics and unveiled to the public on Tuesday, was conducted by a team of researchers from the Australian University of New […]
How much solar energy is produced each year? 5 hours x 290 watts (eg premium solar panel wattage) = 1,450 watts-hours, or approximately 1.5 kilowatt-hours (kwh). As a result, each solar space would generate about 500-550 kWh of energy each year. How much solar energy do we produce? The output of the solar panel and […]
As climate change continues to present itself as the most pressing threat facing our planet, researchers push to find efficient and clean alternatives to fossil fuels. Foremost among this research is harnessing free energy from the sun. Doing this efficiently requires advanced knowledge of the qualities of materials used in the construction of solar […]
The sun’s enormous energy may soon be harnessed in the dark of night following a significant advance in thermal capture technology. Solar radiation heats the earth’s crust significantly during daylight hours, but that energy is lost into the coldness of space when the sun goes down. Now, researchers within the School of […]
Efficient and environmentally friendly solar cells are required for a transition to a fossil-free energy supply. Researchers at Linkoping University have mapped how energy flows in organic solar cells, something that previously had been unknown. The results, which can contribute to more efficient solar cells, are published in Nature Communications. “To enable […]
