To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

Solar energy is one of the most accessible and cleanest forms of energy we have. We can tap the sun's power using solar panels, and turn the free sunlight into electricity to power our homes and more.

Plug-in solar has remained in the shadows because of a lack of safety standards and often costly requirements imposed by ...

The assumption may be that solar panels won't be as effective in the winter due to the decrease in sunlight and the snow that lands atop them. Also, let's be honest, most technology isn't known for ...

A new solar panel reaches up to 865 W, setting a historic record in power and efficiency for large-scale solar projects.

It may not be a game changer for your electricity expenses, but the power pulled in by the solar panel is likely to be enough to run a typical refrigerator for a day, and money is saved from the ...

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 ...

A salt called guanidinium thiocyanate can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, a new class of semiconductor that could make solar power cheaper and more powerful, according ...
