Lightweight as a window cling and replicable as a newspaper, organic solar cells are emerging as a viable solution for the nation’s growing energy demand. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are the first to observe a biological property called chirality emerging in achiral conjugated polymers, which are used to design […]
The White House announced Monday that Biden will facilitate a 24-month “bridge” for certain solar imports, allowing developers to pick up solar modules and cells from the four countries – Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – which together account for around 80 percent of panel imports to the United States Biden will also give the […]

Can you store solar energy for months? Researchers studying a crystalline material have discovered that it has properties that allow it to absorb energy from the sun. The energy can be stored for several months at room temperature, and it can be released on demand in the form of heat. Can solar energy be stored […]
How does solar power work at night? As mentioned above, solar panels do not produce electricity at night. But they tend to produce extra power during the day when the sun is out. To balance things out, and keep the power going after dark, solar customers use either solar battery banks to store energy or […]
