The assumption may be that solar panels won't be as effective in the winter due to the decrease in sunlight and the snow that lands atop them. Also, let's be honest, most technology isn't known for ...

To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

A new study of solar installations from the 1980s and ’90s found many still generating most of their original power.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dianne Plummer is an Energy Consultant and Certified Energy Manager. In 2024, rooftop solar was the fastest-growing source of ...

Researchers in Australia have developed a new laser-based technique that allows them to observe ...

Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...
