NIMS has developed a durable 1-cm2 perovskite solar cell capable of generating electricity for more than 1,000 continuous hours at a photoelectric conversion efficiency (i.e., power generation efficiency) of more than 20% in exposure to sunlight. Because this solar cell can be fabricated on the surface of a plastic material at approximately 100 C, […]
“Don’t panic,” said Heather Mirletz at the Colorado School of Mines, co-author of a recent paper that challenges some assumptions about what might happen as the current generation of solar panels near retirement age. He has some encouraging news for anyone who is concerned, or even a little nervous, about how the world will deal […]

(WNDU) – Groundbreaking ceremonies on Thursday marked the start of the next phase of a solar farm project that is so big, it’s simply called Mammoth, and it’s being touted as the largest in the nation. “Well, we like the pole position in Indiana, we like to race, and we like to […]
Solar panels in space could collect the sun without filtering the atmosphere It seems too good to be true: a plan to harvest solar energy from space and transport it to Earth with microwaves. But it is something that could happen as soon as 2035, according to Martin Soltau, the co-president of the Space Energy […]
Having recently completed a road trip through SA, VIC and NSW, I have come to two conclusions… there are still some workers out there installing less than first-rate solar power systems, you never take as many photos as you should. In any case, I have a few pictures which should make more than a passing […]
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Solar energy made headlines in the weeks following Hurricane Ian after one Florida community that is 100 percent solar-powered never lost power during the storm. But despite the benefits that technology can provide, some users feel that there are still too many obstacles. In 2017 Cindy Lewis lost her home in […]
