When it comes to installing solar cells, labor cost and the cost of the land to house them constitute the bulk of the expense. The solar cells — made often of silicon or cadmium telluride — rarely ...
Sunlight carries more energy than most solar devices can catch. That gap matters as heat waves grow worse. It also matters as ...
Researchers have engineered tiny gold nanospheres that can soak up almost the entire spectrum of solar energy, promising a ...
Solar filters emit a red light over tomato plants growing in a research field at UC Davis in 2022. The work further tests the findings of a UC Davis study showing plants in agrivoltaic systems respond ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A new concept could bring highly efficient solar power by combining three types of technologies that convert different parts of the light spectrum and also store energy for use ...
Using a heat-resistant device, made of tungsten and alumina layers, researchers have found that the device can absorb the sun's broad spectrum radiation and convert it to electricity. The photovoltaic ...
