Solar energy in the United States is becoming a major part of the nation's power sector as installation costs decline, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said.

Building-integrated solar photovoltaic modules are fast catching up in the rapidly evolving construction business where emphasis on energy efficiency and self-reliance are becoming increasingly popular.

To give those customers more options for geeking out on energy use, SolarCity has a new app, MySolarCity, which shows real-time home energy usage and offers basic energy assessments, as well as providing social network via which users can share their solar experiences.

Công ty chuyên cung cấp các dịch vụ năng lượng SolarCity, Mỹ vừa tung ra một ứng dụng mới với tên gọi MySolarCity nhằm giúp khách hàng quản lý tốt hơn việc sử dụng năng lượng.

Whether it was planting millions of trees, turning food waste into electricity or using smart grid technology to slash its energy use, British supermarket Sainsbury's has been slowly but surely beefing up its sustainability credentials.

“The introduction of solar as the scheme’s first renewable energy product is a fantastic addition to Warm Up North’s range of energy efficiency solutions that will allow even more households to save energy and money.

The Victorian Labor Party has sought to underline its renewable energy credentials by vowing to help the town of Newstead, near Bendigo, to become 100 per cent renewable energy by 2017, and become the state’s first “solar town”.

Bằng cách khai thác ánh sáng Mặt Trời, những tấm pin Mặt Trời của SolaRoad được dự kiến sẽ sản xuất đủ năng lượng cho khoảng 3 hộ gia đình sử dụng.

Researchers have developed a solar cell that is able to directly split water. It does not produce electricity in a first step and split the water in a second step, but rather only has one step.

The device consists of the mesh solar panel, which acts as the first electrode, beneath that is a thin sheet of porous carbon that is the second electrode and a lithium plate that is the third electrode. Between the electrodes are sandwiched layers of electrolyte for carrying electrons back and forth.

Nine out of 10 Australians have considered, or would consider, switching to solar energy as a way to cut their power bills, a new survey has found.

Thanks to NIRD, several inaccessible villages in the State are enjoying solar home lighting system and even the rural economy is looking up with transfer of technology.

The Environment Ministry will begin a model project in which surplus electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, will be utilized to produce hydrogen for fuel-cell vehicles.

A desalination technology powered by solar panels could provide enough clean, palatable drinking water to meet the needs of India's water-deficient villages, MIT scientists say.

If SunPower’s average annual solar cell production was about 90,000 solar cells, it appears that SunPower will go well beyond this output. So the next billion solar cells they produce will probably occur in just a handful of years.

The ENGO charging station uses kinetic tiles and solar panels to charge up to 14 smartphones at a time, and provides free WiFi access and an emergency phone.

More than 15,000 Australian businesses have now installed solar power to reduce their energy bills, and there is the potential for tens of thousands more to follow suit if the Renewable Energy Target (RET) is left as legislated, the Clean Energy Council said Monday.

Solar power has made incredible progress here in the U.S. According to a new report from Environment America. In the last 10 years, solar panel capacity has increased more than 120-fold. In just 2011 to 2013 alone, solar power has tripled.

Anh sẽ vươn lên trở thành thị trường năng lượng mặt trời lớn nhất Châu Âu vào cuối năm nay. Đó là thông tin đưa ra từ báo cáo của NPD Solarbuzz, một trang tin chuyên nghiên cứu về lĩnh vực năng lượng trên toàn cầu.

The United Kingdom may end up becoming the largest solar market in Europe by the end of this year, according to a new report from NPD Solarbuzz.
