Take a look at our latest interactive map, charting the location of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants across the country. CSP plants generate clean, renewable electricity on a massive scale.
Solar Generators Explained is a practical, plain-English guide for anyone curious about portable power, backup electricity, and off-grid living. Instead of hype or confusing tech talk, this book breaks down how solar generators really work in everyday situations.
Researchers combine solar energy, electrochemistry, and thermal catalysis to remove the need for fossil fuel-driven chemical conversions. Conversion of CO2 to butene via a solar-driven tandem process.
An overview of the major types of solar thermal power plants or solar thermal electric technologies including concentrating parabolic trough, parabolic dish, fresnel lens systems, and locations and types of the largest solar thermal power plants.
An innovative solution has been devised to ease the transition from lignite to renewable sources in the traditionally mining-focused Ruhr area: installing solar systems along motorways near the Garzweiler open-pit lignite mine. The pilot project could become a model for the energy.
This infographic summarizes results from simulations that demonstrate the ability of Syria to match all-purpose energy demand with wind-water-solar (WWS) electricity and heat supply, storage, and demand response continuously every 30 seconds for three years (2050-2052).
Solar panels work in cold weather — in fact, they work better in cold than in heat. A clear winter day at −5 °C produces about 10 % more power than the same panel at 25 °C.
Free online solar panel output calculator — estimate daily, monthly, and yearly kWh energy production based on panel wattage, number of panels, sun hours, and system efficiency.
