Solar panels are the beacon of renewable energy, yet solar energy systems are not getting as much light as they could be. Joshua Pearce from Michigan Technological University and a team from Queen’s ...

If you happened to be looking at the sky in Europe on a cold night on February 5, 1993, there is a chance you could have seen a dim flash of light. That flash came from a Russian space mirror ...

The Solspace reflectors would focus on an array as long as they could deliver useful power, then rotate themselves away to deflect the energy off into space until they passed over the next large solar ...

Feb. 5 (UPI) --A new study out of the University of Glasgow said that large-scale sunlight reflectors placed in space to help solar farms gain additional energy at dawn and dusk could give solar ...

A group of scientists from the University of Glasgow has suggested using lightweight orbiting reflectors powered by photovoltaics to increase electricity generation in solar power plants located on ...

Solar power is a booming industry right now as we all strive to run our lives with minimum carbon footprint. Solar is a relatively easy way to get clean electricity but of course we are limited to the ...

Stanford researchers are developing rooftop panels that cool buildings by sending heat back into space, a technique that could be more efficient than running an air conditioner from solar panels.

Mounds View High School physics teacher Mike Cartwright is reflected in one of the school's solar panel reflectors on the roof of the school in Arden Hills, Minn.

Large-scale solar power farms could get a boost at dawn and dusk with space-based reflectors that shine additional sunlight towards them. That is the aim of a project at Glasgow University that has ...
