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 ...

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 ...

Passive solar architecture is a design strategy that optimizes a building’s energy efficiency and long-term sustainability. By relying on a building site’s solar orientation and climate, sustainable ...

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

Although the sun is almost 150 million kilometers away, this star has had the most impact on our planet. But while some are busy chasing the sun for sun-kissed skin, architects are all about creating ...

A new bifacial solar cell architecture developed by researchers at Soochow University, Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co. Ltd., and collaborating institutes could address long-standing efficiency limitations in ...

The novel solar cell uses antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) as the back surface field (BSF) layer. According to its creators, this layer can be included in conventional CIGS solar cells to improve their ...

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 ...

Moulding of the secondary floats that mix the cork with thermoplastic (HDPE). Image: Isigenere. Despite floating solar being a relatively nascent technology, more and more projects are being announced ...
