A group of solar energy experts from India revealed how they used weather data dating back to 1980 to optimize solar farms.

A team of Sweden-based researchers has developed a snow loss model to estimate snow-induced PV power losses on an hourly basis. The proposed approach relies solely on data from remote sensing sources, ...

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 ...

It was April 2006, and the mood was celebratory at Napa Valley College. A crowd had assembled to toast the school’s new solar field — 5,600 photovoltaic panels arranged in neat rows across 5 acres of ...

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

New ESA simulations suggest that a solar storm on par with the 1859 Carrington Event could wreak havoc on Earth-orbiting satellites — and it is a question of "when," not "if" this will happen, experts ...

Europe has just run its most extreme space weather simulation yet — a scenario so severe that no spacecraft was left unscathed in the exercise. The European Space Agency (ESA) staged the exercise at ...

On the Tibetan Plateau, nearly 10,000 feet high, solar panels stretch to the horizon and cover an area seven times the size of Manhattan. They soak up sunlight that is much brighter than at sea level ...

Zacharie Jehl Li-Kao, a researcher in the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), has developed Soley, an open-access simulation software designed to ...

New research from IBM and NASA has used AI to power a new and improved simulation of the Sun's activity, allowing marked improvements in the prediction of solar activity. The project, called Surya, is ...

Last year, the most powerful geomagnetic storm in 20 years hit Earth. It produced stunning aurora displays in parts of the US that are normally too far south to see them. Normally, such storms are a ...
