The lives of soldiers and islanders in Truong Sa island district in the south-central province of Khanh Hoa have changed a lot thanks to solar panels and wind turbines.

Legislation approved by Senate will apply to existing and new car parks with space for at least 80 vehicles

Thirteen property owners in New York City have agreed to invest in technology like sensors, solar panels, LEDs and other energy efficiency solutions, and the buildings’ combined efforts will save $175 million in energy costs.

As the weather gets colder, we will be turning up the heat in our homes, but there are ways to keep it from impacting your energy bill. Some insulation and weather strips can make a difference. There’s a tiny home powered by solar panels in Ithaca, and it's not built to be lived in. As cozy as the house seems, it's actually a teaching tool for the community to learn how they can become more energy efficient.

Water giant to spend £3.5m installing solar panels on reservoir near Manchester to help cut its energy costs.

Developing transparent or semitransparent solar cells with high efficiency and low cost to replace the existing opaque and expensive silicon-based solar panels has become increasingly important due to the increasing demands of the building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) systems.

Solar panels (40 pieces) were installed at the school, capable of providing about 30kWh of electricity per day, to meet the essential energy demands for running the essential equipment of the school activities.

The scheme allowed householders to make their homes more energy efficient by installing technologies such as solar panels or loft insulation. This was done through loans with no upfront cost which were repaid through energy bills.
