A group of scientists from Berkeley Laboratory has found out how to increase evaporation twice with the help of solar energy, based on natural properties of water.

A group of researchers from Argonne National Laboratory and WashU have succeeded in leading electrons along the way they never take in the nature. This has allowed the scientists to better understand the initial processes taking place in the early photosynthesis history.

Kyocera is introducing an innovative SemiSolid cell architecture created by US’s battery company 24M. The Japan-based giant will initiate the product’s entrance to the market. The new solution considerably improves batt performance, at the same time enabling significant production savings.

The quarterly SEIA/Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables U.S. Solar Market InsightTM report shows the major trends in the U.S. solar industry.

Declining costs in available technologies have propelled interest in energy storage forward like never before. The price of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by about 80% over the past five years, enabling the integration of storage into solar power systems.

Nexamp has been selected to build three new projects totaling more than 11 MW in New Jersey as part of that state’s Community Solar Energy Pilot Program.

The scientific group from US has been performing the tests during 5 years, collecting data on solar panel performance and weather data.

SunPower has appointed a new chief financial officer to the leadership team of its planned manufacturing spin-off, Maxeon Solar Technologies.

Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has signed the rights to an approximately 110MW portfolio of solar projects located in Greene and Albany counties, New York, from Hecate Energy.
