WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have shown how to modify commercially available silicon wafers into a structure that efficiently absorbs solar energy and withstands the high temperatures needed for ...

Although both produce electricity from the sun, there are significant differences between solar photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar thermal electricity generation. This guide provides ...

Low-Cost Incentives Can Spur Innovation in the Solar Market Concentrating solar power promises to become a keystone technology in America’s renewable-energy portfolio.

Concentrated solar power is an old technology making a comeback, with the CSIRO forecasting it'll be a cheaper form of storage than pumped hydro. Here's how it works.

AGL snaps up a newly approved concentrated solar thermal project as it considers long duration storage options in first grid ...

This breakthrough has led to a record power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.4% and has slashed current loss to a mere 1.67 ...

The next generation of sustainable energy technology might be built from some low-tech materials: rocks and the sun. Using a new approach known as concentrated solar power, heat from the sun is ...

This allows them to provide concentrated solar heat without active solar tracking, as well as increased absorbance from indirect sources (such as scattered light in cloudy weather). The method I use ...

A group of nonprofits installed her solar panels as part of a two-year project to create so-called hub homes to serve low-income communities during power outages.

Southern New Mexico could see the most community solar developments in the state, as regulators planned to award bids this spring about a year after the program went into effect. Luna County had ...

Here, concentrated solar radiation is once again employed, this time to produce carbon monoxide. In the third and final stage, the carbon monoxide is converted into ethylene or other target chemical ...
