A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar structure, the ...

While generating green energy, solar panels usually create excess heat that goes unused. But with a new, innovative design, scientists have found a way to harness those precious leftovers to give the ...

The sun’s energy can be increased when focused on a smaller area—just ask any kid who has burned holes in a sheet of paper with a magnifying glass. The same concept has been used for small camping ...

A new generation of 3D-printed solar cells could let buildings generate power through colorful, semi-transparent windows ...

As a former realtor, general contractor and greenhouse operator, Kristi has touched nearly all aspects of homeownership, from the foundation up. Today, Kristi is a full-time investing and real estate ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Unique usage of power with solar photovoltaics. Power efficiency assisted via photovoltaics. Designers may not be fully aware of a very powerful technique that can extract maximum power from solar ...

There are two leading types of solar panel technologies in use today: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Commonly referred to as “mono” and “poly” for short, monocrystalline and polycrystalline ...
