If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs. But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called ...

New ESA simulations suggest that a solar storm on par with the 1859 Carrington Event could wreak havoc on Earth-orbiting satellites — and it is a question of "when," not "if" this will happen, experts ...

Solar shingles are an aesthetically pleasing and durable alternative to solar panels. Some or all of the mortgage lenders featured on our site are advertising partners of NerdWallet, but this does not ...

Europe has just run its most extreme space weather simulation yet — a scenario so severe that no spacecraft was left unscathed in the exercise. The European Space Agency (ESA) staged the exercise at ...

The PV Fault Detection System is an advanced real-time simulation and monitoring solution for photovoltaic panels in microgrids. This project combines Digital Twin technology with ...

New research from IBM and NASA has used AI to power a new and improved simulation of the Sun's activity, allowing marked improvements in the prediction of solar activity. The project, called Surya, is ...

A computer visualization maps small bodies in the solar system that are expected to be observed by the Rubin Observatory during the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Red indicates near-Earth ...

With the growth of portable power stations as solar generators in the last decade, interest and competition has led to huge improvements in solar panel performance. When I began playing around with ...

We hope the grid’s equipped with a sun-screen. Scientists claim we’re not prepared for the solar storms threatening Earth, which could cause cataclysmic blackouts, grid breakdowns and even an ...

We know from international reporting and economic analysis that China has become a world leader in solar power. The country has pivoted hard to renewable energy in recent years and now has a ...
