US researchers have designed a 2D solar cell based on TMDCs that may exceed by far the efficiency of this device typology, which usually doesn’t exceed 6%. The novelty of this cell consists of its ...

Researchers at the Norwegian institute Sintef are testing a special floating structure that Equinor wants to deploy in offshore waters. The structure is built with an anchoring system that is claimed ...

Parking lots and garage rooftops offer expansive, un-shaded and unobstructed spaces ideal for housing commercial-scale solar energy systems. For years, solar photovoltaics (PV) have proven to be a ...

How an ultra-thin, flexible solar cell was fabricated. How the resultant solar cell was attached to a strong, ultra-lightweight, flexible fabric carrier. The results of the electrical and mechanical ...

The new floating structure, pictured above, eliminates traditional maintenance walkways module rows. Image: Ciel & Terre via YouTube. Floating solar PV (FPV) firm Ciel & Terre has unveiled a new ...

Researchers have uncovered that an orthogonal molecular architecture directs the formation of a rare double-cable structure, ...

Autonomy and freedom during the design process are invaluable resources for architects, especially when defining a volume and choosing materials, systems, and solutions for a building. The flexibility ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. There isn’t a strict definition for what makes a home "solar" — it just has to use energy from the sun in some capacity. If you’re building a new home, it ...
