An increasing flow of cheap Chinese solar panels to the South Asian nation is undercutting demand for power from coal-fired plants that China helped finance and leading to a vicious cycle of ...

Bluetti has emerged as a leader in the portable solar game thanks to its very durable and effective gear, and the brand’s 200W solar panel is a well-made panel that hits a sweet spot between ...

Solar arrays can be around 20 percent more expensive to install on water than land, largely because of the added cost of buoys that keep the panels afloat, according to a 2021 NREL report. The ...

The average power output of flexible solar panels is only about 100 watts, compared to 400 watts for traditional rooftop solar panels. So you can’t power as many devices with a 100-watt flexible ...

It likely goes without saying, but of all the energy solar panels generated last year, none of it was produced at night. New research is showing that doesn't have to be the case.

Editor's note: A previous version of this brief incorrectly stated the proposed location of the Landis Run solar panels. When: Manheim Township school board meeting, Feb. 20.

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible ...

What kills a solar panel? Received wisdom suggests solar panels last for around 30 years, but that’s not the whole story here. “30 years is our best guess,” explained Garvin Heath of the ...

Experimental cells that combine silicon with a material called perovskite have broken the efficiency record for converting solar energy—and could eventually supercharge how we get electricity.

Many balcony solar kits feature an app to track daily energy generation, providing what has, for many people, become a scorecard. “They screenshot that, they send it around to their Facebook ...

Portable solar panels with a higher power output—like 100, 200, or even 400 watts of max power—are also available. These products tend to be heavier and bulkier, so they aren’t a good fit ...
