Innovations in solar power are driving a new energy experiment in California. The experiment officially launched in 2025 under the title Project Nexus, and it involves a 115-foot-wide canal covered in ...

Scientists have found that a dye made from red onion skin extract, combined with nanocellulose, offers a 99.9% protection rate against UV rays for solar cells. This bio-filter material outperforms ...

When Terrence Dwyer received a knock on his door and a flyer for a solar panel system small enough to fit on his deck, he was quickly sold. Solar systems that plug into regular wall outlets have been ...

Abstract: Modern technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), gives objects intelligence and improves the user experience. The Internet of Things has already been used by numerous applications.

On paper, it sounds like a perfect trade-off: Take unproductive farmland — much of it located in California’s San Joaquin Valley — and replant it with acres of solar panels that can power hundreds of ...

Anurag Srivastava receives funding from the US Department of Energy and National Science Foundation to work on renewable energy integration into the grid. He is an IEEE Fellow and member of the IEEE ...

Qcells is opening a solar panel recycling center in Cartersville, Georgia. The new facility, EcoRecycle by Qcells, will recycle up to 500,000 solar panels per year. The center will repurpose materials ...

GILA RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION, Ariz.—About 33 miles south of Phoenix, Interstate 10 bisects a line of solar panels traversing the desert like an iridescent snake. The solar farm’s shape follows the ...

After living off-the-grid for two years now, one couple shared their experience going solar. Located in North Idaho, Riley and Courtney (@AmbitionStrikes) installed a shipping container for their ...

Electrical power systems engineers need practical methods for predicting solar output power under varying environmental conditions of a single panel. By integrating an Arduino-based real-time data ...
