Scientists at the Ohio State Institute for Materials Research have just announced that they have developed a new hyper-efficient solar material that is able to capture light from every spectrum of the rainbow. Whereas most …

Mike has written a guide to building your own solar panel. Mike Davis, in his own words “likes to build things”. This post is but a very small summary of Mike’s page and his detailed …

New technology uses cheaper materials instead of expensive silicon crystals. These new solar cells are 1/1oth of the cost of traditional silicon cell based solar panels.

Installing clean, reliable, inflation-proof solar power is easier than ever, thanks to the invention of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) laminates that can be bonded directly onto metal roofing panels. Unlike crystalline PV material, there’s no need …
