Solar generators are increasingly replacing noisy and dangerous gasoline/diesel-powered generators for emergency use. And unlike those fossil fuel-powered generators, solar generators have the added benefit of being great for daily use as well. Now the portable power station company Jackery has just announced its largest solar setup yet, the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Pro. The […]
As of March 5, 2019, the highest power solar panel available is the 415-watt SunPower residential solar panel. With an innovative efficiency of 22.3%, the SunPower 415 is the highest efficiency solar panel commercially available. Is there a 1000w solar panel? Again, there is no 1000 watt solar panel. How much power does a 1000 […]
One of the biggest thrills Lynn Krell and her husband experienced after installing solar panels on the roof of their home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, was watching their electric meter run backwards as their electric utility billed them for the excess electricity they were using sold back to the grid. Those credits also showed up on […]
Is solar worth going? If you have higher electricity rates, switching to the sun is probably a good investment. However, if your home does not need enough energy for day – to – day operation, you may not be able to save enough to offset the installation cost. Is it worth solar energy in 2021? […]
In a new study, researchers from Ritsumeikan University, Japan, have now developed an eco-friendly method that eliminates the use of toxic cadmium in the production process to produce cost-effective, efficient, and eco-friendly solar cells. Credit: Ritsumeikan University Climate change, one of the major global concerns today, has made it clear that fossil fuels are detrimental […]
A team of researchers uses the experience of a participatory strategy to create and launch Generation Solar, a citizen science initiative for research and innovation in solar energy. Generation Solar has been coordinated by the Science, Communication and Society Study Centre at Pompeu Fabra University (CCS-UPF) within the framework of the European GRECO project […]
