In a major breakthrough for the solar industry, Heliene will make solar panels using SOLARCYCLE‘s ultra-low carbon solar glass made of recycled solar panel materials. The North American solar panel ...

Until recently, when a solar panel reached the end of its useful life—after 25 or 30 years—it probably ended up in a landfill. Any valuable materials inside it were lost. But that’s quickly changing.

A Trombe wall is a passive solar building feature that enhances thermal efficiency. Positioned on the sun-facing side of a structure, it consists of a wall made from materials like brick, stone, or ...

Glass is a unique material used for its chemical stability and visual transparency. It is commonly used in solar panels as a protective outer layer. In its annual PV Module Index, the Renewable Energy ...

Perovskite solar cells are easier to make and customize than silicon ones, but it'll be a few years before you see them on your office window. In a nutshell, perovskite (say that 10 times slow) is the ...

A Dutch research group has used a series of techniques from the automotive industry to develop a novel methodology to repair glass in double-glass solar panels. Their experimental work represents the ...
