Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current ...

Sunlight carries more energy than most solar devices can catch. That gap matters as heat waves grow worse. It also matters as ...

Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, ...

Researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, can absorb nearly all wavelengths in sunlight — including some ...

Traditional solar cells harvest only a narrow sliver of the electromagnetic energy pouring down onto Earth, and that's one of the reasons it's been so challenging to get solar efficiency beyond 20-30 ...

The ASTM G173 Standard Spectral Distribution of Sunlight represents a standard, reference solar spectrum that is used for solar photovoltaics testing and calibration purposes. It was defined in the ...

Solar collectors and absorbers convert solar radiation into thermal energy, playing a crucial role in meeting global heating demands across various sectors.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a translucent solar panel to allow certain light spectrums to pass through that are optimal for ...
