Researchers at the University of Isfahan in Iran claim to have improved the precision of digital elevation models (DEMs) in creating high-resolution annual solar energy potential maps. DEMs are 3D ...

A Pittsburgh nonprofit mapped the solar power potential of about 40 institutional buildings — schools, fire halls and government offices — in the Greensburg and Jeannette areas, finding the owners ...

Note: These prices include installation but do not account for tax credits or rebates. Federal incentives like the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) can reduce the cost by up to 30%, while some states may ...

Floating solar panels are emerging as a promising clean energy solution with environmental benefits, but a new study published in Limnologica finds those effects vary significantly depending on where ...

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 ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...

Once a distant dream of clean energy, solar power now spreads like sunlight itself. Vast, unstoppable, and life-giving. Miles-long rows of solar panels humming under the desert sun, powering whole ...
