Rethinking solar panel geometry beyond the traditional rectangle can unlock significant energy potential by optimizing coverage on complex, irregular rooflines.

For many homeowners, installing rooftop solar panels seems like a smart idea to reduce electricity bills, but the upfront cost and installation complexity ...

Rain is often considered a “free” method of maintaining solar panels. Homeowners often believe that when the clouds darken, Mother Nature will wash away dirt from the solar panels, restoring ...

Rethinking module geometry beyond the traditional rectangle could increase rooftop PV capacity on irregular buildings by improving packing efficiency and expanding placement options.

Reefer trailers keep food fresh — but most run dirty red-diesel gensets 24/7, even behind electric trucks. The fix is simple: rooftop solar.

European firm Roofit.Solar launched in the US with its first integrated solar roof installation on a Michigan home.

New research by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric ...

University of Georgia researchers are studying agrivoltaics, combining solar energy and agriculture on the same land.

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

If you want to lower your utility bill and rely less on the grid, solar energy can seem like a smart move. Solar power technology has evolved over the years, but not all panels are built the same, and ...

Researchers in Sweden developed a new methodology to optimize agrivoltaic systems across Europe, showing that row pitch, system type, and panel orientation must be tailored to local climate, crops, ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
