After peaking at 372 GW of solar deployed in China in 2025, BNEF sees a decline to 341 GW in 2026, leading to the first potential global slowdown in two decades, even as deployments outside China rise ...

Solar power has long been constrained by a supposedly unbreakable ceiling on how much sunlight a panel can turn into ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

The introduction of a nanometric germanium oxide layer drastically improved device performance and stability. As the global demand for clean energy accelerates, solar power continues to attract ...

What if the future of solar energy wasn’t just brighter but fundamentally redefined? Imagine a world where solar panels are not only more efficient but also cheaper, more durable, and adaptable to ...

Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan have reported the first use of ultra-low power temperature sensors using graphene-based solar cells. The test is the first ...

If you're weighing up whether or not it's worth getting solar panels fitted to your house, one of the key considerations is how long you can expect those panels to last. A new study reports that, with ...

Thousands of solar panels were shattered when a storm dropped golf ball-sized hail on a 3,300-acre, 350 MW utility-scale project in suburban Houston early last year. Production fell sharply for three ...

Scientists have found that a dye made from red onion skin extract, combined with nanocellulose, offers a 99.9% protection rate against UV rays for solar cells. This bio-filter material outperforms ...

With the growth of portable power stations as solar generators in the last decade, interest and competition has led to huge improvements in solar panel performance. When I began playing around with ...
