Solar Power

Researchers in Australia recently developed a solar energy system that can convert over 40 percent of the sunlight that hits it into electricity.

Blu-ray discs could help make the solar cells used in solar panels more efficient, researchers say.

To capture more energy from the sun, one company is putting solar panels where they've never gone before: in the street.

A new kind of solar cell could store electrical energy without any help from traditional batteries, according to a new study.

The first solar-powered flight around the world will take off from and touch down in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, officials announced today (Sept. 25).

Addressing climate change is not only crucial for preserving the environment, it also makes good economic sense, some politicians and business leaders say.

With changing economics, wind and solar energy just make sense.

A clever new idea could save renewable energy for when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining.

London is going all in with sustainable energy. The world's largest solar-powered bridge — spanning the River Thames — was unveiled Wednesday (Jan. 22) in the British metropolis.

For those living in wintry climates, snow accumulation may pose a problem.
