Want a home fueled by green energy? Homeowners should compare costs and benefits before converting to a solar-powered house.

Solar panels use a scientific concept called the photovoltaic effect to turn sunlight into electricity. Here's a deep dive into how it all works.

The heat energizes the liquid electrolyte, leading to faster ion movement and improved conductivity. This reduces the system’s internal resistance to charging, allowing it to store the generated solar ...

Scientists have discovered a way to capture solar energy and store it for nearly two decades, before releasing it when it is needed. Using a system called molecular solar thermal energy storage ...

But how do solar panels work? Here is what you need to about solar energy and photovoltaic, or PV, technology. What is solar energy? Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun.

Researchers at Harvard have discovered how to convert solar energy into liquid fuel, potentially accelerating our switch to the alternative-energy source, according to an article in this month’s ...

Centuries ago, alchemists worked furiously to convert the common metal lead to valuable gold. Today, chemists are repurposing discarded solar panels to create valuable organic compounds from ...
