An new type of solar cell has achieved 34.5% conversion of sunlight to energy. It’s a world record and 44% improvement from previous efficiency of 24%, Created by Mark Keevers and Martin Green of UNSW's Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics. Two years earlier, they create...
As climate change becomes a greater concern and as the world is urgently looking for an alternate power source, solar energy seems like the answer....
Using solar energy does not produce air or water pollution and does not produce greenhouse gases, but using solar energy may have some indirect negative...
Heating with the sun's energy - Solar thermal energy can be used to heat water or air. It is most often used for heating water...
Solar thermal power uses solar energy instead of combustion. Solar thermal power plants use the sun's rays to heat a fluid to high temperatures. The fluid...
Solar photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity! A photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly called a solar cell, is a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into...
Solar energy is sunshine! Map of Concentrating Solar Resources in the United States showing the greatest concentration mostly in the areas from western Texas westward to...
Energy from the sun The sun has produced energy for billions of years. The energy in the sun's rays that reaches the earth (solar radiation)...
A two-step surface modification of high-efficiency III-V photoelectrolysis materials provides corrosion protection for hundreds of hours without sacrificing conversion efficiency. Scientists from the National Renewable...
NREL researchers create a solution-processable “ink” to produce high-efficiency solar cells using low temperature and simple processing. Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) provide a route toward simplified...
