A rise in the performance of photovoltaic panels may be on the horizon, as research study from The Australian National University (ANU) reduces their existing limitations.

Still a prototype, the machine could one day help curb electricity and freshwater shortages

Students from the Netherlands will take their new solar ride 3,000 km to Spain.

Solar energy systems with double-sided (bifacial) photovoltaic panels - which accumulate sunshine from 2 sides as opposed to one - and also single-axis monitoring innovation that tilts the panels so they can comply with the sun are the most cost effective to day, researchers report June 3rd in the journal Joule. They identified that this combination of modern technologies generates practically 35% more energy, typically, than stable single-panel solar systems, while lowering the expense of electrical energy by approximately 16%.
