Solar Panels And The Importance of Aesthetics

Solar panels are one of the most visible signs of the energy transition. As their presence grows across our rooftops, highways, farmland and other surfaces, it’s important that they blend in with or enhance the aesthetics of their surroundings. 

CSP: Solar Breakthroughs from South Africa to the Mojave Desert

ENGIE, Heliogen and Solpart are all using the breakthrough technology Concentrated Solar Power to bring renewable solutions to the concrete sector. The potential of harnessing energy from the sun’s rays are virtually infinite. For today’s solar power sector, the hurdles to making it a reality can also seem endless: the development and deployment of technology to maximize energy capture, overcoming the challenge...

Solar After Sundown! Making Photovoltaic Cells Work At Night

Could solar panels work in the pitch-dark night? Two California-based researchers say they’ve figured out a way to keep a solar power system running 24/7. Jeremy Munday, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California, Davis and UC Davis graduate student Tristan Deppe, have developed a “nighttime photovoltaic cell.”
