Golden Sandwich Could Make The World More Sustainable

Scientists have developed a photoelectrode that can harvest 85 percent of visible light in a 30 nanometers-thin semiconductor layer between gold layers, converting light energy 11 times more efficiently than previous methods. In the pursuit of realizing a sustainable society, there is an ever-increasing demand to develop revolutionary solar cells or artificial photosynthesis systems that […]

Flower-Shaped Solar Panel Now Sold In The U.S.

40 percent more efficient in energy production than traditional solar By: Megan Barber Homes of the future will increasingly be built with sustainability in mind; California will require solar panels on all new homes by 2020. But exactly what that solar power might look like may surprise you. The bulky tack-on solar panels will be something of the […]

Lego-Style Solar Panels To Smash Energy Bills

Ready-made snap-together solar panels that turn waste heat into hot water are being developed at Brunel University London in a £10 million sustainable energy scheme starting next month. With energy use in buildings predicted to double or even triple by 2050, and most home energy used to heat water, project PVadapt promises to crack several […]

One Power Grid Solves The Green Energy Problem

    By: David Charbonneau Solar and wind energy suffer from a storage problem. They produce in abundance, often too much, when the wind blows and the sun shines. Storage of that abundance is one solution but it’s expensive and inefficient. You don’t get as much out as what you put in; like a bank […]

How Solar Panels in the Sahara Could Make It Rain More

New research has found that large solar and wind installations can affect the local atmosphere and environment. By: Avery Thompson Renewable energy installations like wind turbines and solar farms are usually tasked with preventing changes to the environment, but according to new research they may cause some environmental change of their own. According to a study published in the […]
