Reflectors are vital for road safety, especially on poorly lit roads or in adverse weather. Using retroreflection, they ...

Unlike proposals to build solar power stations in space and transmit energy down to earth, all the generation would still happen down here. Crucially, these reflectors could help solar farms ...

A new study out of the University of Glasgow said that large-scale sunlight reflectors placed in space to help solar farms gain additional energy at dawn and dusk could give solar energy a boost ...

Solar panels in space have been muted before but the costs and technology to transmit power to Earth is prohibitive. An alternative approach has been explored by a team of engineers who have been ...

In the summer of 2022, more than 1 million of square feet of roads in L.A’s Pacoima neighborhood were covered with solar reflective paint. Schoolyards, basketball courts, and parking lots were ...

As residents of Doraha attempted to abide by the administrative orders for a total blackout last night, solar reflectors on the main market road continued to illuminate the area, creating a sense ...

Scientists in the United Kingdom have proposed using orbiting solar reflectors to enhance the electricity yield of terrestrial solar power plants. They claim this new technology may be ...

These reflectors would be high enough to service multiple solar farms on the same orbit. Their orbits could even be used to inform where to build new solar farms in especially sunny regions.

Orbiting solar reflectors are still some way off. But they represent a way to connect the space and energy sectors to tackle climate change.
