Scientists develop perovskite solar modules with greater size, power and stability
Jan 28, 2021 (SPX)
Perovskites are one of the most promising materials for the next-generation of solar technology, soaring from efficiencies of 3.8% to 25.5% in slightly over a d...
Lunar solar experiment build completed despite challenges
Jan 28, 2021 (SPX)
"NASA's last opportunity to use solar power on the surface of the Moon was 50 years ago during Apollo," said Matt DeMinico, the PILS project manager. "It's exci...
Solar material can 'self-heal' imperfections, new research shows
Jan 27, 2021 (SPX)
The findings - from the University of York - raise the prospect that it may be possible to engineer high-performance self-healing materials which could reduce c...
Squeezing a rock-star material could make it stable enough for solar cells
Jan 25, 2021 (SPX)
There's just one problem: Of the four possible atomic configurations, or phases, this material can take, three are efficient but unstable at room temperature an...
Macquarie's Green Investment Group invests in North American utility-scale storage developer esVolta
Jan 20, 2021 (SPX)

Philadelphia Solar completes production of solar panels for Al Husainiyah project
Jan 20, 2021 (SPX)
The plant will source over 200,000 panels (330Wp), as the last panel number 200,680 was manufactured in Philadelphia Solar's manufacturing facility in Jordan. P...
EGA and DEWA make the UAE the first country in the world to produce aluminium using the power of the sun
Jan 20, 2021 (SPX)
DEWA will supply EGA's smelter with 560,000 megawatt hours of solar power yearly from the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, sufficient to make 40,000 t...
SolarEV City concept: Building the next urban power and mobility systems
Jan 18, 2021 (SPX)
In this study, we propose a "SolarEV City" concept, in which integrated systems of cities' roof-top photovoltaics and electric vehicles (EVs) supply affordable ...
Major firms urge Japan to bolster 2030 renewables goal
Jan 18, 2021 (AFP)
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga last year set a 2050 deadline for Japan to become carbon-neutral, but the country's shorter term renewables goal has long been cri...
Blue-light stride in perovskite-based LEDs
Jan 18, 2021 (SPX)
Illumination is responsible for approximately 20% of global electricity consumption, a figure that could be reduced to 5% if all light sources consisted of ligh...
